do not totally disagree with you on this, but just keep this in mind that they drive that 'battle tank' for 8 hrs a day. so they are bound to loose their cool at some point or the other.

Buses, Auto's, Bikes who stay exactly at the opposite side of the direction they intend to take at traffic signals ex: Auto at the extreme left tried to speed up as soon as the light changes to orange/green and go right

Bikers and Auto's again as for quite sometime now we have these timers which tell you how many seconds u've got till u see green in Bangalore - "Guys Was BLR the first city in India to get it?, I sure do think so correct me if I am wrong!!!") anyways I've seen these pathetic no good idiots starting off when there is still close to 10 sec's left for it to go green scaring the hell out of Pedestrains and the constant honking from behind that you get even when there is sometime left for the signal to go green.

please: Have some courtesy to fellow human beings trying to cross the road it could be one of your kin who gets knocked down one day...

Cyclists at signals, they think the signals don't apply to them or rather they try to get a head start when the signal is still red from all directions.

Buses when they get to the bus stop try to stop ahead of the bus thats already stopped, blocking the entire road at times. Have seen buses stopping in the middle of the road and passengers getting off/jumping off onto the road irrespective of the traffic

Medians and Road dividers in Bangalore, range from metal to concrete, 99% dont have reflectors, have seen so many vehicles ploughing into these medians all over Bangalore. Damaged medians protruding out into the road have caught many a people unawares and have seen people hitting them all the time.

Bikers who create enough mayhem on the roads also take to the footpaths, I'm waiting for a day when I get hold of one to ensure he never does it ever again

In Bangalore we have probably the highest number of techies (I'm one of them too) in the country that means good education etc etc, and along with other d%$#k heads they are the ones who behave like a*#holes on the road. Can't understand whats the hurry to get to your destination, care two hoots about anyother person on the road, behave like professionals and show some care to others on the road.

have seen some comments from people about using the side RVM's pls do use it, all the others would definitely try to calculate and try to keep away from them. The more closer they can get to ur car, the more likely u get to see a dent on your car.

Have a group of friends who well call themselves "Auto Beaters" recently say in December '05 always on the look out for erring auto drivers and make them remember their naani's and amma's. Last heard their count was at 20 odd out of the prospective 70,000 roaches in BLR. Long way to go but they ain't in a hurry.

Well I am sure everybody must have said one of these statements more than once Anybody going slower than you is an A*$Hole and
Anyone going faster than you is a maniac hahaha

Pls Live and Let Live.....

I have seen complains complains complains, Request another thread that helps people drive/ride better and please make it informative.
