This is Nagar Road and you will come across such things here very often.

I come across such people on daily basis on this Road . And situation is more dangerous in night .

The latest irritating thing. Just happening outside my home.
Guy in an old maruti 800 ( loud engine ) parking at a tight spot and another guy shouting and instructing him how to park It's been 5 minutes and I think they have successfully parked the car.

I really feel the major contributing factor for such a traffic mess is absence of lane discipline. Also I guess most of the drivers does not know that "Give Way" exists in India. You can see it often on the highway when someone missed the window for overtaking, then he is gone. It will take ages for him to come to his original lane. It is appalling really.

I am writing this after cheating death.But in all fairness we all cheat death everytime we get on the road. Its said 1.5 lakh people die on Indian roads every year & i along with my mother would have joined that stat last week. The incident happened on a quite highway with a approx 24 feet wide road at 9AM

Thanks to a moron from the opposite who decided to overtake into my lane over a blind crest.
He was like in the center with out worry not even close to the car he was overtaking, to even allow a slight chance of me brushing past atleast.To avoid the deadly head on collision I had to drive off the road at a good 80-90 kms/hr and it was all in less than a sec.

Then the drama starts! My car now slides sideways starts going into the opposite lane, i instantly correct steering ,its now sliding in my lane sideways and then the tail corrects wildly and faces off the road(fishtailing)and i again steer to correct it straight with little swinging of the back/tail again. While the thoughts in my head was avoid colliding with opposite traffic & wow am in a situation just like those youtube videos.

After which i looked in the mirror and noticed the entire road was a dust cloud and luckily there was no opposite vehicles close after the overtaking moron in case i had swerved to the opposite lane after. There was a white EcoSport coming a few secs later and i will never forget the persons expression.His jaws were really dropped(like the expression) and showed horror. Made me realize how lucky i was to avoid colliding & even to control the car.

Then on the same stretch of road a day or two later a person lost his life by avoiding a overtaking vehicle & collided into a tree.

So on Indian roads someone can be as careless as they want & reach home alive while someone else sensible dies!

I am glad you came out safe. I drive on dual carriageways for the most part and can relate to this common rogue road behavior. This is one of the primary reasons I use a dash cam. At least it will help disprove those morons after such unfortunate events.

Sorry to hear about your experience! what city/location was this? was it a single or multi laned highway?

Yes thats true i am actually trying to choose a cam for a new car i picked up.Maybe i could have caught the persons numb plate & forwarded the video to the police. After i passed by the place of incident a few days later i realized i was lucky the tires dint dig in & the car dint flip over. It was just shocking that one min i was all driving calm & next min i am controlling the car for survival

This was after Hunsur on the way to Virajpet,Coorg. It was a dual carriageway with sufficiently wide single lane for both traffic. But the pathetic part was the person overtaking from the opposite was way into my lane, if he was overtaking sticking a bit to the center i would understand but in this case it looked like two cars were drag racing with good 10 feet gap in between.Has to be the most pathetic overtake attempt i have ever seen in my life. Over taking over a blind crest by staying to the extreme right on opposite lane.

avoided possible road rage. i applied a brakes a little late thinking the biker will stay behind the scooter but no one in this country has any patience. 2 incidents.

Really both so irritatng. I hate these people when they drive opposite side of the road. I have witnessed even bus and tractors doing it in Bangalore. Non-passenger autowalas are worst people.

 

[TSIVipul]

Hats off to your patience AHC.
Looks like the biker in the video did it all intentionally, there was no reason for such a reaction, maybe a frustrated young man or a frustrated husband.

We should create a dash cam compilation thread if it doesn't exist already.
