| ![]() Note to all drivers in Bangalore. *Start Rant* My car does not have a "come race with me" sticker on its backside. So stop trying to race. Because I am not interested. All of you wannabe racers - a tastefully modded car means the driver knows when to race and when not to. OK? Understood? All I want to do is get home in a happy frame of mind, play with my son, chat with the rest of my family, have a meal and go to sleep. You do the same. And maybe you will all live to tell tall tales to your grandchildren. *End Rant* I can understand indica/xylo/tavera cabbies racing, type-2 City VTEC, modded swift, et al wanting to race. But I draw the line at balding middle aged man in beat-up Wagon-R tailgating and desperately wanting to race. Why? ![]() |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() It was a pain driving through the ORR today, from Sarjapur road till Marathalli and beyond. Traffic was clogged for kms at times, and the culprits are the usual suspects - Kadubeesanahalli junction, Innovative multiplex etc. As usual, the cops stood there helpless and watching. Looks like we can expect such a mess every time it rains the previous night. |

You are right. But in my case, I was not waiting to be caught and trying to get away in the meantime, but I was simply not aware that 'seat belt' rule is being enforced. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() 45 min from Kundenahalli to EPIP, why? traffic from the new back road to ORR blocks of traffic Made worse by the driver of car that I am in , switching off, putting windows down, restarting, put ac on, raise windows etc. He would have wasted more diesel than letting the engine tick over except for long halts |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Major traffic jam on Mysore road near Gali Anjaneya temple/ Satellite Bus stand. Don't know what the reason is. Traffic is being diverted into the small bylanes behind Satellite bus stand. |

Looks like we Tbhpian's who follow traffic rules should contribute to this initiative. Not sure to what extent it will be implemented but its a start. | |

However, whatever time i thought i could save was shortlived as i got held up at the Sarjapur road railway crossing for about 40 mins thanks to vehicles who have made it a habit to drive up the wrong side of the road each time the railway gate is closed. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() With the rains that started in the morning. The roads were nothing short of mess. All the two wheelers where parked on the road blocking the smooth flow of traffic from Dooradarshan Kendra to Cantonment. It was absolute madness on this stretch today morning. Wondering how it will turn out today evening, if it rains again. A moron in a santro with registration number KA05 MD 4246 was simply irresponsible and driving like an idiot on the KH Road (near Shantinagar). Not a good way to start the day. |

An idiot in the same color (cappucino beige) skoda rapid (KA 51 * 70) as mine pissed me off in the morning. This monkey came from behind on the left on the muddy road and tried to overtake cars which were on the correct road and he ended up blocking a huge truck ![]() I do not understand how can people be so dumb ? Is it rocket science to follow lane discipline. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() When are the authorities planning to complete the Bellandur and Intel flyovers (direction towards Silk board)? Both of these flyovers seem to have reached 90% completion stage in August-September itself, and yet show no sign of opening up. Does anyone have any clue what is stopping them from finishing the work they started? Both of these flyover sites are massive bottlenecks when returning from office nowadays. Every time I see these unfinished flyovers, some bulldozer or earth mover will be parked on top with 2-3 workers doing something irrelevant ![]() In other news, ORR at BTM is horrific nowadays, in the mornings. It takes me roughly 45 minutes just to commute from Jayadeva flyover to Udupi garden signal ![]() In the return direction, ORR is sometimes jammed all the way from HSR BDA Layout signal (next to the Reva service centre) till Silk board every night. Silk board signal is somewhat unpredictable. Some days the signal is so smoothly flowing that only some 10-20 vehicles are waiting at the signal. On some other days, the jam goes till HSR layout, at the same return time. What could be the reason for this?? Are the BTP personnel playing with the green signal duration? I just can't understand how this can happen Last edited by KarthikK : 9th October 2012 at 14:10. |
