A conformist here except when the honking increases to unbearable behind. We have lot of Mavericks and Desperados here in Hyderabad who honk even on Red Light for way.

another conformist to join this thread, cheers:

Guys,

This is at the Horamavu Traffic Signal on outer-ring-road Bangalore (driving towards Hebbal).

When the lights turned Red at the Signal, This Alto stops next to me on my left (Luckily I was on my Pulsar-180 or I would've been writing a accident report:Shockked:).

A couple of seconds into the stop, BANG - THUD & the alto is about 15 ft in front of me. I look to my left & saw a Big Truck, the driver open mouthed & the cleaner trying to get down.



Luckily all 4 passengers in the Alto were unhurt & they were giving braking-lessons :deadhorseto the driver when I left.

All said & done, let us not stop being conformists.

I would vote for "ultra conformist" if it was there. As you may know, I dont use horns. They are for desperados. I can afford a few mins delay unless for emergency (medical) reasons.

Conformist here, no matter how pissed off the fellow behind me is, i will not budge until the light turns green.

A bit of Conformist. If it is red in early morning, no cops present, I stop, check, if no soul in sight I usually cautiosly drive away. Though only when I am 200% sure that it is perfectly safe. If i have even a hint of dellima. I stop untill the lights turn green.

Another Conformist to join the club, in fact a die-hard conformist.

A conformist by all means. Always get honked from behind which is quite irritating!! Why can't people just stop at the signals QUIETLY??

1) Get an SUV;
2) for first timers; put on reverse gear
3) more honk; reverse a bit.
4) Let him pass; chase him ; blast your roots/bosch horn.

That makes me maverick ? :)

Mostly a Conformist, but then actually I do what jk has quoted above if I get irritated by the idiot who is honking at Red Lights!!!

Conformist. I have got tapped (Not banged fortunately) by the vehicles following me twice (A Car once and a Two wheeler next time around). Nothing happened except the bumper needed some repair. People expect to jump signal when it has already turned red. This irritates me.
