Re: Bad Drivers - How do you spot 'em

Found this absolute idiot of a driver coming the wrong way, blocking the traffic and having the audacity to stare as if we were in the wrong.

Have reported this moron to the BTP.

Re: Bad Drivers - How do you spot 'em

Guarantees an idiot behind the wheel, when you see people (and even more so kids) standing up through the sun roof.
When will people learn?

One way street? The driver probably did not know and was wondering why you are squeezing him when he is keeping to the left?

He was informed of the one way street by three cars ahead of mine. Still he insisted on continuing in the wrong direction.

Ugh, has money to buy a fancy car but unfortunately lacks even two brain cells.

The plague of wrong side menace should be seriously stopped in Bangalore. People should just get jailed for a week that will teach them. No fine nothing, just take them to the nearest police station and jail them without bail for a week.

Many years back, I too was fed up with people driving with high beams and those with LED bulbs in regular reflector setups. So fed up that almost went ahead and implemented an extreme solution, something like in the video below.

But my better half vetoed the idea and added a warning with that. When I look back at my idea, I thank her for timely intervention.

Re: Bad Drivers - How do you spot 'em

It was my own sister this time. We were travelling to our native in Thrissur. At a signal in Thiruvalla bypass, my sis , to save time, took the space on the shoulder (there was barely any space, and add to that only three vehicles in front of us). While I confronted about this to her, she started to question my driving skills and experience (my license is only 3 years old at this point), but she was too proud to accept her mistake.

Another thing is, she overtakes too slowly and has the habit of changing gears during the maneuver, because she does not like to rev the vehicle 😐

Re: Bad Drivers - How do you spot 'em

Watch the Bolero from the left - fast & furious (with whom?)

Where is the need here for such a manoeuvre.

Bad driving needs no reason. That is what makes these kind of drivers dangerous on the roads.

The guy in the Bolero wouldn't have saved 2 seconds by doing what he did.

Other cars would have caught up at the next traffic light (assuming the idiot made it that far without toppling over)

Seriously what is wrong with these people. He was not supposed to get on to the fly over yet he almost did it to save 0.001 sec. And then when he figured out that he took the "wrong lane" and will now lose at least another 10 min for the 0.001 sec gained, he weaves a web again.

Some times I really wonder how come these idiots survive for so long ? With this skill and dedication should have had the Darwin award committee knocking at his door steps long time ago.

This impatient and foolish Bolero driver overtakes the bus from the opposite lane and almost missed hitting a two wheeler crossing the road from the other side. What is the urgency to take a risk like this?



Found this WagonR car parked on a busy highway. Was surprised to see the driver having a relaxed sleep inside without any worries! Wondering about the level of awareness the drivers in our country possess.

Re: Bad Drivers - How do you spot 'em

A notorious couple were travelling by literally sitting at the top of Seltos. Is there a way these idiots are put in jail and let them romance there for their life. Absolute disgrace

Re: Unusual / funny / heartwarming experiences on the road

This is definitely neither funny nor heart warming.

In fact it is scary to see such behaviour on the highway.
What can be so compelling a reason that one would park the vehicle on a national highway and cross over to the median.



Happened near Aimangala.

I've seen one guy parked his Baleno on the road shoulder and was running across the road from center median on Mysuru expressway.

Also, this is was captured on Mangalore highway.
