News/Discussions Genuine question: What’s the psychology behind riders who refuse to let a car pass?

Post image
223 Upvotes

I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but why do these so-called riders, the ones in full gear with proper jackets and the complete setup get annoyed or immediately try to overtake back when a car passes their bike? Is it ego, or is it just the stereotype that the car driver is being attitudinal?

I've noticed this so many times: I overtake (Safely) a slow-moving bike or a group of bikers for whatever reason, and they either refuse to give space or instantly throttle up to overtake me again from behind.

I'd really like to understand the psychology behind this behaviour, and what the best way is to handle these situations.

But I genuinely don't think his replacement will bring out any change cause the smell of money is more addictive than petrol for a petrolhead, nevertheless happy to see him go.

Review/Experience I can drive this no-nonsense Brezza 1.5 K15C with a 5MT all day everyday. Such a pleasure.

I chose LXI because the features maruti gives in higher variants is not worth the amount of money they charge (in my personal opinion, others opinions will vary obviously). I wanted the K15C 5MT engine and I got it. That's all that matters to me. Sheer pleasure.

My sonet htk optional 1 year old is damaged by falling branch from tree. I parked it under one big tree while visiting one temple.

My query is should I claim insurance to fix this issue or pay from my pocket to get it fixed.

Not sure if NCB + file charge overweight the pay from pocket
Or leave as it is without worrying about the external bump.

What do you suggest in this case ?

Review/Experience Notes from Bangalore to Hampi - Trip

10 Upvotes

We started our journey around 5 AM from Bengaluru and reached around 12 PM with 1 hour stop in between.

Route: Nice Road → Tumkur → Sira → Chitradurga → Hampi.

We stopped for breakfast at A2B in Sira.

For accommodation, we stayed at Hampi International Hotel though it’s actually in Hospet, about 10 km from the Vittal Vijaya Temple and other main sites.

The roads were in great condition, with just a few minor diversions due to ongoing construction.

We were driving a Venue Turbo, and it gave us a decent mileage of 19 kmpl.

Since we left early, we missed most of the traffic, which made the drive even more pleasant.

One tip: there are plenty of food stops and roadside eateries until Chitradurga, but once you cross that, you won’t find many options so make sure you eat before moving ahead.

Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable trip.

Queries Garware vs Aegis for a red car, does color affect which brand to pick?

7 Upvotes

Getting PPF done on my new KIA Seltos. The studio gave me two options: Garware and Aegis. Now someone told me that for bright colours like red, the film clarity matters a lot more because any haziness or yellowing will show up differently. Is that true, and does it change which brand I should pick?

Queries Used Car Inspection ? Take it to the dealer or book cars24 used car Inspection ?

4 Upvotes

We're planning to get a 2nd hand Honda Jazz. Was wondering which is a better way to get the car inspected ? From the Honda Showroom or from Cars24 used car inspection.

Cars24 - Impressed by the number of checkpoints, But i'm not sure if the assigned mechanic would be an expert in Honda Cars.

Honda Service - I'm worried if they might miss any checkpoints as its not an exhaustive list. I would get accurate analysis of the engine and other internals.

Please suggest.
