I travel everyday in a cab for about 75 KM (from Kolathur to Tambaram around 6:30 PM) and can understand the agony of a fellow being like you. Your post truly brought the saddening picture of Chennai traffic with a lighter note. | ||||

Your generalization of Registration numbers and Cheap bikes don't seem acceptable to me. Quote:

![]() Chennai BHPians, One of the acts in my wish list is that we all should get together one day in the city and drive along. We should teach the people on the road what "DRIVING" really is. Last edited by para_7k : 6th November 2009 at 23:21. Reason: Alignment | ||||

| ![]() ![]() I got abused by son mother duo. Reason, I was waiting at the Citi center signal to take right. They decided I was going to over take the car in front on the left side and cut him across. I didnt, he drove into my car and screamed at my driving skill. Best part, my car hadnt moved an inch as the entire lane was stand still at that point. I tried imparting basic sense of never over take by the left , went to deaf ears and I got abused more !

| ![]() Kinda off-topic. Please delete or move if required. Right now, I am riding bike. But due to rain and bad road conditions, would like to avoid getting drench and other accidents due to bad roads. I would like to go by car for few months till I get my own. Options 1. Auto - Not very safe 2. Call Taxi - Better Instead of paying every trip, is there any monthly options available ? thanks |

| ![]() It's again raining heavily today, most roads seem to be heavily damaged. So people, leave office early or very late. Expect major jams this evening all across Chennai today. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() One of my colleagues was not able to come to office today. As he could not move from Trichy to Bangalore last night. What the hell is happening ? 2012 ?? ![]() No Seriously. Any major climatic/atmospheric change ? What does the Met dept have to say ? |

| ![]() Chennai gets rain in one go, so this is nothing new to Chennai. But yeah, there is a kind of pattern change in terms of the number of days we receive rains. Ten yrs back rain starts from the mid of October, but it gradually has moved and these years it starts only from November. So by the end of mid december our rainfall is over. Hope no major catasrophes are lined up for the city, I live just 100m away from the bay of bengal. So by the time the news comes up, I would have been gone. |

| ![]() Just reached office. Took 50 minutes from Mogappair to Perungudi. Roads are not too bad. Alert for guys who take the new road on the left after ascendas to reach Taramani. The junction of this road at the Velachery-SRP tools road is dug up but there is way for one car to cross. Be careful at this junction and cross really slow. Low floor sedans cannot do this without an underbody hit. So people better take the longer SRP tools stretch if you are going to Taramani from Tidel or vice-versa. |

| ![]() The road near velachery bustand is in a okayish condition. Watchout for the potholes on the left as you enter the Velachery tharamani link road. Try to keep it to the right till you cross royal shoppee. The st. thomas mount - Medavakam road is in a bad shape. As they are trying to fix the road, they have filled the road with fist size gravels. ![]() Today Chennai is covered by a beaqutiful haze. The view of Pallikaranai, Velachery and the new link road from the velachery bridge was awesome. Wish I could take a day off and be at home for a hot cup of Team with nice Bajjis ![]() |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Coming from Chromepet to Guindy, the road was pretty much ok except for erosion under the new flyover coming up near the old Ponds factory. I also spotted some small - medium potholes at Meenambakkam and St.Thomas Mount (on the left turn immediately after the Polo grounds). These are avoided easily enough without slowing down, just don't let them surprise you from underneath the vehicle preceding you. No water logging anywhere.
