That being said, your driving also does look a little...extreme? I can understand you were late, but the lane switching, little gap with other cars, etc. was also dangerous. | |

| ![]() Looks like somebody is eager to get into an accident. Should he had given some gap to the lorry, he might have a much better view of the road, without entering it. |

Regardless, they should let faster vehicles pass them for the safety of everyone. Few months back, I was pushed off the road by a similar convoy of our Dy. CM near the Athur toll plaza near Tindivanam. The entire convoy then did a bit of shoulder riding and off-roading to get to the front of the 1KM toll queue. It’s the VIPs inside the car whose non-action enables and drives these police law breakers. | |

In fact, bike doesn't seem to be in such urgency. He carefully comes till white line and starts waiting. But parking lorry in wrong side of the road is the root cause issue here Last edited by gkveda : 19th December 2020 at 23:23. | |

The bike should have been far to his left: that would have given him view of the road and the oncoming traffic. Why make a turn into a blind turn when it need not be? | |

I have observed similar convoys in rush hour Bangalore traffic, no less! Earlier, all traffic used to be stopped to let these "VIPs" pass on the Airport road. Now that that has been put to an end, they have to traverse through the traffic, and boy do they bully others to make way! It was a weekday evening rush hour on the Airport road, near Mekhri circle. Bangaloreans would know that there's always congestion here in the evening. And through it all, a convoy of some politician was forging its path, sirens blazing, literally cutting off other cars. They did it to me as well, despite me leaving ample space for them to pass - overtook me from my right and then made a swift maneuver to the left to block me. It was extremely unsafe and dangerous. I had to take corrective action to avoid a fender bender. And imagine this with multiple cars and 2 wheelers side by side in 2 - 2.5 lanes. It irked me as well but I just calmed myself before I ended up doing anything foolish. Last edited by suhaas307 : 21st December 2020 at 12:27. Reason: spacing for improved readability | |

| ![]() But what is this two-wheeler lane in this context? I believe it is the shoulder of the road that you are talking about. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I remember an old video where cops from TN made a video talking about the various lanes on the highways. Ah, found it: They mention the shoulder as where two wheeler riders should be driving. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Next time when you find a test drive car with rattles, misaligned steering and wacky handling, remember this video and there are so many idiots who do this to the test drive cars |
