Expect some amount of chaos on the way back home. They were digging right in front of Zuri and it was a mess. Last edited by sandeepmohan : 8th December 2015 at 10:16. | ||

(1) how does it matter where people come from as long as the main issue is valid (i.e. majority of 2 wheeler riders in Bangalore do not follow traffic rules). I would request your opinion whether you think majority of 2 wheeler riders abide by traffic rules or not irrespective of you or 2 wheeler riders are from Bangalore or from other parts of the country. (2) Why do we need to look into history? Do you mean unruly 2 wheelers are a historical problem in Bangalore? | |

The difference was quite visible at the Nallaruhalli jn., where the road through the village was leveled overnight. | |

Coming from someone who literally does it all on this road - ride a bike, a cycle, walk and drive (if you call crawling that...) When did this become a class racism? Almost all of us who drive, would have a bike as well. Bad drivers are bad drivers, period. Unfortunately with the traffic scenario in Bangy, its pretty much only the Bikers or the Auto drivers who can swerve in traffic in an out. I am pretty sure, if it was possible for the cars to do it, they would too - as we have that sort of people here as well. Example, today, exiting the Indiranagar Flyover (towards EGL) from a distance I see an old man waiting to cross the road, I make a hand signal that I am stopping and indicate to him to cross. What do the others do? The car behind me honks away to glory, the Bike beside me almost runs him over - I felt I made a mistake of asking him to cross as it was probably even more dangerous to him. Where is the class divide? The cars behind me honked but stopped, but the bikers continued to zoom and criss-cross him, I purposefully had stropped till he crossed the road, so that people do not overtake me from the left. Fact is 'most' bikers (of-course there are good ones) have absolutely no idea how to ride. They are in their funny dreamland and completely oblivious to what is happening. How many people have I stopped and asked - why are you driving like a maniac? Everyone has an excuse, I am in hurry, Yes people jumping Red Lights with their family in tow have also told me so ![]() The fact is that, most decent car drivers (see I said decent) literally save probably a bunch of bikers doing stunts on roads everyday from injuring themselves (I do), unfortunately it only acts as a morale booster for the bikers and they do it the next time with even greater impunity. Sorry for the long post. Peace. ![]() | |||

Don't be so optimistic ![]() Only the good roads get relaid, as far as I've seen. The bad ones are only leveled with sand and stones. The stretch I mentioned as leveled was this [Nallaruhalli Village Road] Both sides of this road are illegal constructions, there by causing a bottleneck. |

I do not like about two wheeler riders is the rush to get ahead. Again no harm if you got a fast bike and a clear road. But when you try to force your way in from the left or play dare with oncoming traffic its not an ideal situation. Apart from that I have seen many many instances where the two wheelers are causing traffic jams due to mindless overtaking from the left and right and forming many many more parallel lanes causing stoppage of not only themselves but oncoming traffic. I again reiterate that I have nothing against two wheelers but then I sure do have a lot to say to people riding two wheelers and not using common sense while driving and accounting for safety of themselves and other road users. | |

![]() ![]() With this horrific review I am in doubt if relocating is such a good idea ! The major reason family wanted to mover over was to avoid pollution and harsh weather condition (both summers & winters )... | |

Every day, when I pass through old airport near command hospital, the road is wide and empty, with free flowing traffic. I suddenly get a bike with a well dressed guy in my lane out of nowhere. He has two empty lanes to the side, and is free to drive at 40 kmph without hassle. Yet he wants the middle or the right lane. What should I do? I patiently have to follow this guy, seeing everyone else zip past in the other lanes. Changing lanes is again a difficult thing. By this time, there will be a long queue of vehicles behind me honking and forcing me to do something. Not only this, I can give you much more examples of why we here have lots of complaints on two wheelers. As I said, if you are a disciplined rider, it doesnt mean that everyone is the same, which also means you shouldnt actually be offended about the forum complaining about two wheelers. I too ride my dio and I can safely assure that I wont be a cause for complain on the road. | ||
