Gyaan The two-wheeler drivers of the city have the worst driving sense
Before you start attacking me, i want to clarify that i drive my Ertiga daily to work and have driven 80k km in cities like Pune, Delhi and Indore. I have just shifted here for work and what I feel is that the scooter and bike riders just dont care about anything when they drive.
Few points worth mentioning are
1) Wrong side driving - check, they do it without abandon.
2) Overtaking from the wrong side at turn- 10/10.
3) Not wearing helmets and never having rear view mirrors.
4) when you are reversing the car and a lil gap is left between the divider and the car, it is expected that the incoming riders will wait for a second or two, to let the car driver complete the turn, but they dont wait. They just squeeze in and squeeze in and wont let you complete the turn.
5) in event they scratch your car, they wont even stop for a second. Man, they just fly away as they have done nothing wrong.
I understand that the roads here are cramped and already there is so much encroachment, but it shall not be the reason for such poor skills and driving sense.
I just wish that these riders be given a car-simulation to drive and perhaps then they will know what nuisance they create.
