Yesterday a girl driving a swift lowered her window, moved her ORVM to a closed position and signaled me to squeeze my Safari in to the gap vacated by her mirror. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() This particular road is supposed to be 2 lanes each way. The middle double line marking means we can't overtake, but then the left most and right most lanes are used as parking and we have to manage driving in the mid 2 lanes. While that already is risky, this driver in his brand new red Polo is too excited to be careful with overtakes and to mind that the new engine / mechanicals should not be used so harshly. |

| ![]() What was he trying to pull here? Damn these Kaali-Peeli drivers are by far the worst of the lot that I have encountered. People have forgotten what is it like to share the road with the other commuters. Forget about patience, that's a long lost cause anyways. |

Yet, I appreciate that he did indicate his intention to change lanes by hand first and then left indicator. Not many in my town follow this, particularly autowallahs and taxi drivers. Its like a guessing game with them. | |

Not defending the motorist here at all, or being contrarian, but is this rule really followed in your city? I know it's not even a factor here in Poona. Last edited by thewhiteknight : 28th July 2021 at 06:19. |

Day before there was a fat chick who was doing same on Mathura Road in Faridabad (coincidentally not wearing a helmet & mask). To be honest, I undertook (overtook from left side) to get ahead as tg road/. highway is quite wide - 3 lanes each side). I had not done so, she would have been cooling off in hospital bed instead of reaching her destination. | ||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Some two wheeler riders don't even care to realize that there might be oncoming vehicles on the opposite lane and they just merge into the road without stopping and waiting for the already slow moving traffic to pass nor looking at the opposite lane for vehicles before joining through the gap. This idiot was just lucky that the lorry was not 2 seconds earlier to the junction. Here, another car racist, who believes in bullying small cars (camera car is my kwid). You can clearly see from a mile that a slow moving lorry is occupying the right lane ahead, and the toll plaza is just about 400 meters ahead. I don't understand the swift dzire driver's logic in squeezing through the space between my kwid and the lorry. He did have to slow down for the toll, 1 minute later. |

Feels like most of them have never driven a larger vehicle or something above 2 wheels. Only then can they understand how difficult it is for larger vehicles to tolerate their antics. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() A lesson many motorists don't learn - if you want to turn right at an intersection, it's better to stick to the right side of your lane. This lady obviously did not know that or didn't care. An auto guy was to her left, I had a car to my right. She couldn't stick to her path as that auto idiot bullied his way through making her almost hit me, not once but twice. And then makes her way to the right turn, from the left most part of the road. Just another rider day dreaming while riding. Last edited by PrasannaDhana : 31st July 2021 at 23:28. |
