A WR-V on a tractor trailer?

Not actually. That's a garbage trailer and they've somehow got hold of a WR-V car cover which is doing the honours of covering the garbage. Nice usage though.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

Only in India.

Pune Bund Garden bridge saw this dramatic chase. A well lit horse carriage had runaway as the owner lost the reins which had broken. It looks like something heavenly running in the road as bikers chase it. The owner tries to mount the carriage, falls and is runover. The horse too tumbles.
Thankfully this was not fatal, but resulted in mild injuries as per the news reports. Could have easily been much worse.
I'm sure the situation could have been better handled - any recommendations from the experts at team bhp?

Taking a leaf out of MG India's book, Honda India should sue this garbagewala for illegally using the WR-V as a brand ambassador of "Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan"

Straight out from a movie. The lights make it look like the chariot is on fire. Looks like the horses are trying to stop and because of the asphalt couldn't get a grip.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

I'm not sure of the location or time of this incident.
Potholes, water puddles ... what could go wrong? What could you lose?


Any idea where this happened?

That's Gurugram (I have seen this elsewhere). This is digging by some Govt Department & careless employees/ contractor & equally careless rider are to blame.
Didn't come across any news of casualty.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

How to carry hazardous waste in India. Although this is not funny, only in India can we neatly stack potentially harmful barrels of waste well beyond the truck boundaries and high up and still make it look good.

The sign on the side of the truck shows it to be HAZARDOUS WASTE.
It may be just empty barrels, but this made me nervous when I overtook it!!

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

They say Duct Tape holds anything. In India our humble brown masking tape is the perfect jugaad for anything too.

Here's a cab where multiple parts are literally held together by brown tape. I followed it for 5 minutes and can guarantee the quality of the work. It's also safe as the indicator and brake lights are visible through the semi-transparent tape. What could go wrong when the driver has put a lot of thought and effort into this.
PS: Obviously this is merely to hold the tail lights, part of the bumper and some door bits. I've seen cars that have more extensive taping done.

True true. That said it is nice to see a cabbie driving responsibly for a change. Properly using turn indicators, sedate pace, not cutting lanes ..

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

The McDonalds @ Panvel (right before the expressway entry) is closed for dining in, but the drive-through is open. It's my staple stop for the lovely black coffee. Today, there were many biker groups. Was kind of funny to see them walking ahead of, and behind my car, in the drive-through.

There was a car -> biker group walking - my car - another biker group walking behind me:

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

Parked at 7 a.m. under a tree in front of Kottayam Bus Stand. This is the state of the car when the owner returned to pick it up at 7 p.m.

Apparently, the tree is home to a lot of little cormorants.

This had happened to me once at the Ernakulam North railway station parking albeit not this bad but bad enough to make the car undrivable. Trust me, this is one of the very last things you want to see after a long day. Thankfully my dealership was kind enough to send over a mobile wash and the day was saved

Off topic but apparently most of the railway stations I’ve been to in Kerala have a lot of these birds around. Does anyone know the reason?

It is a drive through, not a ride through, certainly not a walk through. That is insane, that they cannot see an issue with walking past people who are obviously waiting in the queue. The guys at the drive through should make them walk behind the car, pretending to have a steering wheel, perhaps even have them make the car sound with their mouth
