It is all about perceptions. We all have different perceptions about rash driving. IMHO, there is a fine line between going fast and being rash. A bystander, just because he saw a car go fast cannot term it as rash. It is totally unfair on that driver. Again, driving slowly and driving sedately are perceived differently by different persons. You are not sedate just by driving slow. A lot of factors determine whether you are driving sedately or driving fast. I have seen plenty of fast drivers, rash drivers, sedate drivers and slow drivers. So, it all depends on how you judge it. Just because a guy puts on team-bhp stickers, it doesn't mean that he has to go slow/sedate everytime. As Templehof has said, it is all about the circumstances you are in. It is easy to accuse anyone on an open forum. So, my humble request to the 'spotters', please do not comment on such things unless you are pretty sure of what they are doing. ![]() Disclaimer: I definitely am not condoning speeding over the speed limits or breaking of traffic rules (in any form), and I am not a fast driver by any means ![]() Last edited by addyhemmige : 9th November 2011 at 13:48. | |

| ![]() Spotted: DarkBlue D'zire (number unseen, you were too fast for me) Where: BETL Road, just before the Ph.1 turnoff. When: Around 1.30 this afternoon. You saw me and waved after overtaking, just as I was flashing my lights. Thanks for the ack, but who are you, BHP' ian? You seemed to be in a hurry.. Btw, I was in the MH12 registered Red Swift. Cheers, R_S |

For every "bad" driver who sports our sticker, there are many, many more responsible and safe drivers who display our stickers. | |

| ![]() Images of the cars I had spotted over the last couple of weeks. People sure did not respond to the spotting posts I had made. So now I have found the images, hope they will respond to the photos of their rides. |

Infrastructure may have improved, but if you notice I was speaking specifically of the ORR and ITPL road. I presume you do travel on these roads, so please explain where the infrastructure on the ORR is such that you can drive - Safely - at 80? And how about the ITPL road. It is one and a half lanes on each side. If you are speaking of the middle of the night, then please check the Accidents in India thread. I have seen three accidents in just a week when I was returning from office at between 4 and 4:30 AM. These were all accidents caused by people presuming there is noone else on the road, so they can drive - safely - faster than the speed limit, and break other laws. So please, think before encouraging people to drive over the speed limit - whatever the time of day. Anyway, this is OT, so I'm out. | |
