Have seen may cars like these zigzagging through the lanes without any regard to other vehicles on the road.

The main mistake by the RR driver is to overtake on the left the first truck and then immediately move to the right lane to try and overtake the truck which was taking the u turn.

If the RR had overtaken the first truck from the right, then both he would have seen the second truck trying to take a turn, or atleast would have been visible to the second truck.

Or if the RR had to overtake from the left, it should have stuck to the left lane until it crossed the second truck too.

These turn have been blocked with heavy concrete dividers placed in zig zag format painted in yellow and black colors and have small signs displaying NO U-TURN.

Thanks for clarifying this as people are making it sound as these are unwanted U-turns. These U-turns are for emergency vehicles to reach an accident spot faster otherwise they will be able to take u-turns from the toll booths only which are very far apart. These are present on highways outside India as well with boards that these are to be used by maintenance and emergency vehicles only. They need to heavily fine people misusing these u-turns.

The truck was from APCO infratech, the company which constructed this section of the highway so it could be part of the maintenance team. It could be allowed to take a UTurn but the way of taking a u turn was wrong, going across the 4 lanes is completely wrong.

This is standard blame shifting. This is how big people get saved in this country. The things get blamed on the "expert driver". 14 car convoy for evaluating a Rolls Royce. Good to know.

Goodness, who needs to evaluate the performance of a Rolls?

(More to the point, who evaluates performance on a crowded road? Only an idiot. Especially with a high-power car.)

Absolute hogwash. The car is a second owner vehicle previously owned by a person in Bombay who also has a black 812 GTS. Or perhaps it’s the same family. Utter nonsense as usual from the owner’s side.

Two more crashes have since happened as well.


911 Turbo S in Chennai & Huracan in Bombay. Sad to see how owners are treating such amazing machines in India with the utmost disrespect.

Passed the orange Lamborghini this morning. The car seemed to have gone into the barriers (God bless engineering) right in middle of the sealink. The owner/driver may have got caught out whilst being throttle happy on a wet surface. The most experienced drivers end up making mistakes, won't necessarily call it not respecting the car unless you know more on the above crash.

I know that it’s the second incident for the same car which hit a rickshaw earlier this year as well. The common denominator seems to be poor driving skills and an inability to understand when and how to apply the throttle.

It depends what you call a mistake. Most cars, most of the time, do not get driven into barriers. Not even by drivers with modest skills.

This isn't a crash. The car sadly got flooded during the recent cyclone in Chennai. Looks like the sensors got fried and deployed the airbags.

What happens to these cars that get affected by floods . Do they get rebuilt? I know that in the US and UAE many people rebuild salvage cars and flip it.

There have been multiple flood (and crash) affected cars that have been rebuilt in India and flipped by dealers to unsuspecting buyers. Although, this is usually with luxury cars and lesser with supercars. Unlike the US and UAE, India lacks the expertise to rebuild cars like these and importing parts is a pain as well.

They may be rebuilt but the title will carry the fact that it is salvaged and this will reflect in the price. This does not happen in India as insurance companies do not take responsibility for the safety of anyone when disposing of salvage.
