BHPian ![]() | ![]() The city is so sickening on-road. It took 2 1/2 hours to reach BIAL from Anantapur, and took another 2 1/2 hours just to reach Old airport road, all thanks to the Aero show traffic that added to normal traits on BIAL road. To add to this, One Jeep - pickup was parked in front of Leela palace and caused a traffic jam, and when I was passing him in the inching traffic, I gave him a mouthful and asked him to get lost, but he just stared at me. No one else even cared to ask him to move, and we had to drive off as the traffic had started moving. |

| ![]() 1) Sometimes i wonder, where are the busy ones heading to ? People honk and honk and honk, all they want is no car or vehicle in front of them And when they get the side, they move at a very slow pace till someone else honks and makes them move. I don't think everyone is so busy, its just that people are so used to the noise and commotion that they cannot live without it anymore. And looks people are getting louder horns these days. 2) I had a narrow miss today, when a speeding indicab jumped a signal and almost hit the autorickshaw i was travelling. And the indicab guy had to brake so hard that he would have lost some tread of tyres that could have given him 10k kms ! The cab driver gets down and tries hitting the auto guy, the auto guy resists and i try to settle the issue. The auto guy did not commit any mistake but seeing i was getting violent, the cab guy tells me very politely that the auto guy jumped signal. All i said is "tu nahin sudarega" and the drivers continued argument till they got tired. 3) One thing i realized, people would jump signals and try to go against the law when they know cops don't care much. Something needs to happen to ensure the cops become strict and people start getting scared of the results of law violations, india would be a better place to live. 4) Currently its free for all, might is right, size matters (of the vehicle). People know that they can fight, scream, give 100rs to police and get away. And the mayhem continues ! I just hate it, and yes, i don't use horns unless really necessary and follows all rules, probably i am a fool ![]() |

You add fuel to my argument again.... If going to the authorities itself is no use, what is the point of ranting here on cyberspace? People in India understand the language of the stick. Next time you find some one stopping on the zebra crossing then do care to open your window and give him a piece of your mind/advice him. One of my favorite Quotes :"Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same."(from the Movie Oldboy) Regardless of how small the effort,It Does count. Example :Myself signaling a lane change indication or stopping before the stop line or giving way to an ambulance or any other "lawful" behavior. Regardless of how much a person fails to accept/follow it, It some how or the other will have some impact over that persons subconscious mind. Vinay | |

I have a deep respect for guys like him who put themselves up against bad drivers who have no sense of road etiquette and plain simple bad manners. I just pray that he and people like him don't come to any harm considering some people on the road don't mind getting way beyond physical when corrected. | ||

![]() But seriously the fear of the unknown has got into me with the various incidents being reported. Now when I am with family the adrenaline is kept in check. But when I am on my own, its a rush again. | |

I was in the habit of making people aware of their stupidity and lack of road sense; a couple of times I had people follow my car, stop and bang on the window hurling abuses; the whole thing being at a level I would never stoop to. Biggest deterrant is, people nearby wouldn't bother; they would just want their share of entertainment. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Had this experience yesterday on the ORR. Was inching along the ORR near the Belandur flyover construction zone in the left most lane on the 2 lane road. A red WagonR moves from the left lane without any signal into the right lane making me brake hard. I honk and let him know my displeasure, i can very well see the guy staring back and looking at me. later we come up to the 3 lane road and i am in the middle lane. i can see the right most lane is clogging up and slowing down and the leftmost lane is taken up by two wheelers. the middle lane is moving around 40kmph and slowing down. I have a Vectra in front of me and am following it. now i spot the wagonR in the rightmost lane and as i come alongside the red WagonR he switches on his left indicator and tries to push me off the lane. i hold my lane as i have no where to go meanwhile the rightmost lane has almost stopped and the WagonR has to brake with loads of screeching tyre noise to avoid rear ending the alto in front of him. am pretty sure the WagonR was not even concentrating on the car in front and was more engrossed in getting into the middle lane leading to him having to make the emergency braking. Thankfully he didnt cause any damage to others because of his stupidity. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I growled and shouted at dozens of rule-breakers ![]() Here is an image of a policeman riding without a helmet, and in the wrong direction of old airport road. What audacity! ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Any idea why there was so little traffic on the roads today? I reached office in just over an hour. |
