![]() If I'm not mistaken, they are supposed to do any ORR-related work only during midnight shifts or on holidays, not on weekday evenings. Any updates on marathahalli / kundalahalli / SAP labs bottlenecks? I'm still waiting it out in office since another friend sms'ed me at around 6pm about a huge jam from iGate till Graphite India junction. Will leave office only after it clears ![]() | |

Then, go get yourself some dinner. Traffic on the ORR stretch does not ease up until 10:00pm or so. All techies work late! | |

| ![]() ORR was quite OK, actually almost a free drive at least on my way (from Doddanekundi till Intel). Covered the 6 KMs in about 15 mins which is pretty good. Before that underpass opened it used to take almost double the time. |

| ![]() Everytime we hear about an overloaded CV or a school bus in an accident or an RTO taking months to issue a DL, we wonder why. RTOs says that it's because they are heavily understaffed. All that 'might' change soon. Quote:

Therein lies the problem. DLs are issued without adequate screening, assessment or scrutiny. I have an EU driving license. An official spent about 2 hours directly dealing with me and probably another 15-30 minutes handling my paperwork. | |

The process is different in every country/union. All the paper handling happened in the background in the UK for me. Took me 2 minutes to apply for an LL and 2 more for the full DL. The actual theory and driving test took ~ 1 hour and 30 minutes respectively. | |

In her 2nd attempt, the driving test lasted about 30 minutes. She passed. She was asked to (among other things) parallel park and start on a slope. I don't remember much else, I was a kid back then! All this happened in ... RTO Bangalore South! Last edited by KiloAlpha : 21st November 2012 at 14:19. Reason: added content | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() His Holiness Dalai Lamaji was in the city today. Had to wait for almost 12 minutes as Bellary Road was emptied to make way for his car (& 9 others) |

And you gripe. I wait daily at the Sony World signal that long to pass through (from Madiwala towards Domlur, evening peak hours). |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Here is a route to avoid. The road from BEML Gate(Tippasandra end) to ADA . Under the guise of road widening one side of the road is excavated and they expect a two lane traffic to be mananged in the single lane. ![]() Cheers! |
