Even though there is a passenger at the back who could have made the video, the driver himself is making it and risking his life and the life of his passenger, just to bring this incident to the masses. :Frustrati
2 common bad habits of bad drivers/riders:
1) I've seen many bikers and car drivers throwing away "burning/lit" cigarettes on road carelessly without even disposing it off properly. It's too dangerous.
2) Secondly, the passengers in a bus, car, or autorickshaw spitting out pan/tobacco without even looking back and forth to see any oncoming vehicle before spitting.
(Again) Ignore the timings in the video, this from couple of weeks ago when I was returning from a weekend trip to Hampi. This is somewhere between Hiriyur and Sira, a couple of clowns hanging out of the sunroof at speeds in excess of 100 Kmph+ probably - I was doing 90 in cruise control. The video speaks for itself!

Hats off? This guy just endangered everyone in the vicinity. Reckless. Should be put behind bars to teach driving manners to such morons.

Saw a near miss experience on the road this Friday night, hats off to the super reflexes of the driver in the Thar, but he did endanger his passengers, and the Trucks ahead of him and to his right. Glad that it didn't turn into a bad accident! https://youtu.be/RZc5XQzNYM8

Experienced this many a times when double lanes merge into single lane road. I feel like teaching a lesson to these morons by not giving them space. Or pushing them to the left. But worried, that may lead to road rage only.

This happened in ECR while coming from Chennai to Pondy. In the ECR there are some stretches of 4 lane roads which quickly merge into single lane road. Many times I encounter impatient drivers overtaking from the left and cutting just at where the 2 lane merges into a single lane. You can see a moron in Scorpio N cutting the Audi and immediately another absolute idiot in SX4 cuts me from the left without any idea of road manners. In fact I really don't understand where they want to go despite many vehicles going slowly due to traffic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWzLZDf8W4c

This for sure is not Mumbai. The Green Autorikshaw gives it away as either Delhi or Bangalore.
Totally with you, some of us take pride in taking unnecessary Risks and make show-off of the same.
Please check up this video uploaded by "I love Bagdogra" on Facebook, discovered by Prateek Singh, the YouTube traffic commentator for safety. He calls these callous bikers "Chapris" and very aptly defines them with their characterestic features, personality traits and affinities alongwith the kinda bikes they love.
The young "Chapri" biker on a KTM was being signalled by police to stop as he was without a helmet. He halted, for a moment and sensing trouble, he instantly used the throttle with this KTM's 0-100 kmph acceleration prowess, used to the ******'s advantage for dissappearing. His pillion, a young lady fell down straight on the road. Someone shouted af him that your pillion has suffered a fall. But unconcerned, the "Chapri" escaped. The pillion rider was lucky not to have any trailing vehicle hit her.

But there are chances of spinal injuries, especially lower back. It might look good now but the problems due to this fall will show up after few years down the line.

62 two wheelers were challaned by the city traffic police of this City's zone. 48 of these were RE bikes.

Superb and praiseworthy action by Traffic Police Nagpur. The rule breakers in dozens of 2 wheelers carry three sometimes four, jump signals, engage in one upmanship and hooliganism with law abiding motorists on the streets. They carry national flags, disgracing the solemn occasions on national days. Fines and challans will deter them, hopefully.

There's something about stickers that switches me spidey senses on. One or two is alright. But the ones like "Born to win" or "Who's next?" are the ones that makes me put as much distance between my beloved Alto (2007) and the born to win guy. I do that by slowing down and losing to the born to win guy. You can win all you want my man but like a mile or two away from me.
Besides, on a purely philosophical note, thats gotta be one boring life knowing you are going to win. Like, what is even the point?
Not sure why some two wheeler riders are always in a hurry. Saw this biker rear ending a car (minor). Another rider on wrong side violating one way.
