No point in honking or teaching sense in such morons we see everyday still when someone dangerously (for me or my car) tries to put his headlight in the gap to merge anywhere without any respect to traffic flow. Option #1) I try not to let him merge and then after getting a chance, purposefully block him from front and make him loose those few seconds he was trying to save. Option #2) Save my car from the intrusion, give him space and let him be happy on his daily conquest that might be only way that makes him feel significant. I still do '#1' sometimes but I understand that it does not help at all to correct them and might look like Road-Rage from my side, so I try to keep my peace and let them run amok. | |

| ![]() The footpaths around BDA complex in BSK are being redone by removing existing concrete covers and installing tiles. I see that the foot paths look good, but what's the intention behind demolishing existing concrete one's i don't understand. Also on the attimabbe road, the foot path work is complete but they are now used to park cars by the owners of the house! I can clearly see that each house has enough space to park 2 cars but still they would park their vehicles on the footpath there by making the pedestrians walk on the road |

| ![]() My respect for BMTC drivers was reinforced today. The road has a 90* bend with a bus stop 100 Mts behind. I was following a line of 2 cars and another BMTC bus taking the 90* turn. an autorickshaw behind me tried to overtake from the left and then decided that the space was too narrow. However the 401K behind him was gutsy enough to squeeze through the gap and overtake me from the left with millimeters to spare from my left ORVM. These guys are surely experts. I have always maintained that if in a hurry and there is a straight bus, take the bus, you'll save a lot of time. |

| ![]() On a lighter note, most of us could also develop those reflexes and guts if we are driving a metal vehicle which does not belong to us and can leave a lot of smaller vehicles completely demolished. |

| ![]() Question about ORR: In the Marathahalli to Silkboard direction, which is the last point where one can enter the service road when going to RMZ Ecospace ? (If one goes all the way on the main carriageway till the pedestrian skywalk, only option is to enter the service road past the main gates of Ecospace and use the last gate, but it has entry timing restrictions). |

Anyone knows if there is a JDS rally near Kadubeesanahalli today? This morning traffic was much higher on ORR and I saw lot of posters/banners and police presence. Any information on timing would help to plan return commute to home ![]() Last edited by airbus : 14th February 2018 at 11:41. | ||

I too noticed the banners, however mornings traffic was due to normal issues. I was thinking it was due to upcoming election season. | |

| ![]() Just got this on WhatsApp. Another building collapse. On jail road(Sarjapur road) near La Casa restaurant. Not sure of other details. Jail Road is blocked and expect a cascading effect to Sarjapur Road also. |

| ![]() I’ve been in Bangalore since birth. Close to 40 years. Bangaloreans were very sweet people. But of late there have been many instances where I wonder if I’m still in Bangalore? Witnessed an altercation this morning. A well dressed man in formals and his 7 year old son were shouting at another road user. The man was using choicest words to describe the other person. As I was passing I heard the son himself expressing in a very ugly language. In fact it was unthinkable a language expected from a 7 year old. I’m seeing a lot of these expressions from all age groups. Is there anyway I can prevent my children from hearing such language on the road and protect myself from becoming one of such kind.
