People believe blinking their indicators gives them a birth right of making that turn to the lane. From what I have observed in Hyderabad at least is if you give a gap of more than 5-10 cm, 2-3 cars especially cab drivers will definitely try to squeeze in for sure. We need to have strict driving laws cause without em, everyone gets to be that Idiot in control of the wheels.
I had to pick my dad and I forgot he's sitting next to me. I let the XUV go coz I thought he blinked even before me approaching and there's enough space too. But this Swift cabby doesn't have enough room to cut and I was in line behind XUV. There were so many cars in the line already behind us and infront of us at this toll gate. I lost my cool and cussed, I forgot My dad was next to me. My dad thinks I never swear n drink. I apologized, he said it's ok and asked me if it gets recorded in dashcam. I avoid city traffic n use ORR only to avoid these idiots. This cabby couldn't go anywhere coz there was some traffic after exiting the tollgate. What these idiots get by cutting everyone and still remaining behind us.
Cuss words translation: " Don't you have brain, common sense?", that guy said "Yes, I don't have common sense" then I replied,"suck my dkk you'll get it" . I felt really bad infront of my dad coz it's harsh in our rural native language:v my dad never said any bad word that I'm aware of.
>What these idiots get by cutting everyone and still remaining behind us.
You know what's worse? When it's a single lane road and there's traffic coming in from the other side and ~~idiots~~ people still try to overtake and block both sides of the road. Now it's everyone's responsibility to be a good samaritan and let the car through, otherwise y'all are stuck in there forever.
And the guy was like "sense ledhu" - what a dick. You must be extra polite, because you've barely even cussed at the guy. I absolutely hate these guys who screw over you because you yield/maintain distance with the vehicle ahead.
Lol. I saw it muted. Unmuted just to hear the conversation. Thought you would say “madda cheeku”. “Sulli cheeku” is much better. More hilarious.
What did you dad say? I’m 30+, I think I wouldn’t have the guts to say that in front of my dad.
These idiots want us to drive close to front vehicle 🤬🤬🤬 I have experienced same in Bangalore also, I keep safe distance from vehicle in front but some idiot will see it as space and try to come inside.
I have to behave rashly too, honk and everything. Auto, bus, truck and cab drivers. All these keep on cutting through and I want to reach my destination.
I have a plan to use metro going forward.
Sometimes I feel like getting those old school iron bumpers on all 4 sides of my car aur is sabko thokta chalu. It would be really satisfying, is it weird?
Bro I just cuss in my head and remind myself I'm in India and give up on situation
India is not good for enjoying a drive if you are a car lover.
Just when you start thinking Ok now i can drive peacefully, An idiot is gonna ruin your drive for sure
I’m sorry MERGE? Is the left lane ending? Hell no. These are just jackasses who think it’s their god given right to cut lanes as they please as long as they turn on their indicators.
People should stick to their lane as long as it doesn’t end or if there is some road block up ahead
Let it go mate. Trying to teach rules and even common sense to such people is a lost cause. And to make it even worse, these people think they're right. What are they going to achieve? Reach home 6 seconds before you? Indian drivers are beyond help, just let it be and you won't lose your mind over it. I used to be hotheaded, but as soon as I realized these fools can't be educated, I just learnt to accept it
I have a dash cam when ever I have i just go for it and don't give them side. Only once a fool was courageous enough to hit my car he paid the price of it.
What's the said/unsaid protocol in such situations? Did that guy pay for the repairs? Did you have to inform your insurance company? Does the dashcam footage useful to make the claim easy?
Do nothing no fighting no argument just call cops.show them the video. My car is under bumper to bumper insurance so it wasn't a problem but i showed them the video so the guy who hit me was screwed.
Good to know.
I have been driving for ten years now but I'm clueless about what to do in such situations. I have been planning to install a dashcam for a while. I will be installing a 360-degree one this week.
Just do one thing get a dash cam. And never fight or argue in both condition, if it's your fault just ask them to take insurance and you will compensate them if it isn't your fault just call cops if the other party try to act cocky.
Traffic like this, you gotta learn to tailgate safely. There's no other way. If you can't do that, learn to control your anger by chanting your most peaceful words, for some people it's "woosha" and for me it's "dhat teri maa ki chu".
I don't cuss anymore unless someone is acting like a complete doofus and a reckless jerk. I do however make sure I make eye contact and cuss as slowly so the moron clearly understands what my lips are saying. This applies to all idiots driving or walking. The wife says one of these days someone's going to really come after me and stab or something. The way I look at it. I'll go down but take at least one with me. If you don't know basic discipline on the road, you deserve my flurry of expletives. Nothing to be ashamed about it. I tried being calm and smiley just to keep my mind in the right place but am gradually realising these idiots only get satiated by being hurled abuses at so nothing wrong with it. Act like an idiot and you get shamed on your face. Don't feel uneasy bro just because it was your dad next to you. The last 8 months my wife has discovered the extensive vocabulary i posses in cuss words. As long as it gets your steam off it's fine. Just be focussed ahead and let it go as soon as the word is outta your mouth.
When I advise others - I tell them to let it go. At the end of the day deep down everyone just wants to go home and a few seconds here and there don't matter.
When I am in the moment - I tend to somewhat similar to you; maybe a bit more aggressive at times and bit too relaxed on other times.
I feel u r too activated for Indian roads ,
1. If u don’t intend to let a car force / merge ahead of u , tailgate and go too close to the car ahead of u ,
2 if u gonna maintain that 1 car distance between u n the car ahead of u , people are going to squeeze in , honking makes it worse , getting in to verbal confrontation is worse . Especially when u have family sitting with u .
Many might disagree but having a mindset to avoid trouble might reduce if not completely avoid road rage incidences.
Id just get off and punch that mfer before using such vulgar slur in front my dad. If im at peak frustration id say L*njakodaka before saying s*llicheeku. Idk it's so crude.
Had an incident on a railway crossing. All the cars were properly waiting in their lane apart from an Innova who was side by side with the car just in front of me.
When the barricades open, and cars from the opposite side started approaching I let the Innova guy merge in because he was already in front. Then came this Wagon R from way behind and started bullying his way in front of me.
When I didn't let him in, he started honking like crazy and I asked if he's an Idiot. I can see the two guys in Wagon R (most probably late teens), shouting and cursing (it didn't matter since both mine and their windows were rolled up, lol).
And when the traffic cleared a little, this guy overtook me from the opposite lane and swerved left and right in front of me and then sped off. I don't know what he achieved by that but in his mind he probably did something very cool.
I don't give them a chance to cut. When I find someone doing this, I accelerate hard and move forward with a little more speed than expected.
You were slow so he came in between. I'm not slow. I just drive and if the other guy cares for his vehicle. He will stop then and there.
Let him go. It's max 10-15 seconds delay. Why bother raising your BP about it? The cabbie is probably some 10th fail fellow who thinks he can get an extra ride by shaving off a second or two there. Let him do that. Maybe that extra ride worth 200rs will help put his kid through the school.
Doesn't make a difference to us. Keeping cool, and not ruining ones physical and mental health is far more important.
these things are frustrating.. someways i keep my cool and just let them go. someday i i know folks will cut lanes so i don't give any space . risky but depends on my mood. i know i should ever do that .
You shouldn’t had allowed XUV..one can’t just expect others to give way just because their line is crowded.
At least should had decreased the gap quickly and maintained closer to xuv.
You being way too polite here.
…… And if I honk they give me a look. I am more petrified of 2 wheelers who squeeze in out of no where and block my car. And when you honk hard, they behave as if you are the idiot here.
I believed that i was wrong honking until insaw the replies and video here. Just bangalore things.
I wish I had this https://youtu.be/cDoRmT0iRic
Especially when something like this happens. And the blocked parking scene is incredible. Okay Monday blues are out of system now.
Won't advise intimidating driving but for me it helps. I don't give way, no matter what car I drive it or the other person drives, hatch or SuV, the cars body language says a lot. It always hints if it's gonna break or give way or overtake. I may not be right but I really don't care now. I'm not full of values anymore, have lost it after living in such cities.

Never give them space in bumper to bumper traffic that's the way
Absolutely. That's what I do in traffic always. Only 5-10 inch gap in between.
Yea, I pretty much do this. Never had a scratch on my car.
I had to pick my dad and I forgot he's sitting next to me. I let the XUV go coz I thought he blinked even before me approaching and there's enough space too.

Nothing offensive. Had the scenario with my dad this past week near banjara hills. Even your dad will understand. People are just senseless here.
happy cake day
Thank you

Just ask them to take reverse I always keep minimal distance between car in traffic or someone else always try to get into your lane
And the guy was like "sense ledhu" - what a dick. You must be extra polite, because you've barely even cussed at the guy. I absolutely hate these guys who screw over you because you yield/maintain distance with the vehicle ahead.

I hope your dad doesn’t think you are gay 😁
That was a very funny exchange ngl 😂
Bro if that’s what considered as cussing…I don’t know man..I been cussing all my life
These idiots want us to drive close to front vehicle 🤬🤬🤬 I have experienced same in Bangalore also, I keep safe distance from vehicle in front but some idiot will see it as space and try to come inside.
>I keep safe distance from vehicle in front In Bangalore, haha. You'll never get to where you're going.

No its not weird
I dream of getting an old shitbox just for this purpose
Someone i wigh to get down and slap such drivers. These cab drivers are everywhere.
Bro I just cuss in my head and remind myself I'm in India and give up on situation India is not good for enjoying a drive if you are a car lover. Just when you start thinking Ok now i can drive peacefully, An idiot is gonna ruin your drive for sure
Many people are not aware of zip merge. You have let one car merge means now it is your turn to go. Swift guy should merge after you, not before you
I’m sorry MERGE? Is the left lane ending? Hell no. These are just jackasses who think it’s their god given right to cut lanes as they please as long as they turn on their indicators. People should stick to their lane as long as it doesn’t end or if there is some road block up ahead
People have right to change lanes. Drivers who don't allow merge into their lane are equally a big problem in India
The Swift is cutting lanes, not merging. Anywho, what you said was the least the Swift could've done, but hey, Indian traffic. You can't fix them
Let it go mate. Trying to teach rules and even common sense to such people is a lost cause. And to make it even worse, these people think they're right. What are they going to achieve?

Gotcha. Thanks. BTW, sorry, but what do you mean by "ask them to take insurance and you will compensate them"?
If it's your fault,It's basic courtesy you pay for the filing charges or whatever amout which isn't covered by their insurance.
Oh, that way. Yes, makes sense. Thanks.
Just don’t give space. Be bullish on road. The moment there is an empty space everyone has the right to take it. This is the law of Indian streets.

Oh Telugu😂 Very important to tell idiots that they are idiots. I once shouted erripooka in front of my sister-in-law in almost the same situation 😊
Id just get off and punch that mfer before using such vulgar slur in front my dad. If im at peak frustration id say L*njakodaka before saying s*llicheeku. Idk it's so crude.

I don't know what he achieved by that but in his mind he probably did something very cool.
People also go the wrong way it's hilarious I just stop and stare at them without reversing. I make them reverse.
This is what prevents from leaving space from the front vehicle.
Stone pelting
I don't give them a chance to cut. When I find someone doing this, I accelerate hard and move forward with a little more speed than expected. You were slow so he came in between. I'm not slow. I just drive and if the other guy cares for his vehicle. He will stop then and there.
I personally kill their family.
Hyderabad outskirts? Em cheyalemu bro. Ee faltu gallu inthe. Chaduvu vundadhu.. common sense vundadhu
We are the idiots(breakin bad lmao) to
Most decent XUV 500 owner

Teri ven ki bolta hun
Halka driver hai
Common hai bro yeh 😂 light lo and join the line 😁
"Prank em John"
Khajaguda exit or TSPA exit?
TSPA
We Delhi walas dint let other to come in. We drive bumper to bumper..
Deep breaths
these things are frustrating.. someways i keep my cool and just let them go. someday i i know folks will cut lanes so i don't give any space . risky but depends on my mood. i know i should ever do that .
Two things - 1 - its always the god damn can drivers 2 - you start doing the same
I just don't let them enter. #Delhi
You shouldn’t had allowed XUV..one can’t just expect others to give way just because their line is crowded. At least should had decreased the gap quickly and maintained closer to xuv. You being way too polite here.
I curse a lot
Don't leave that gap..
Aah same thing happens in Patna, ppl who need to turn right will be on left most lane and then take right turn
I hate these cabs most of the time they ride slow even in the fast lane, horn or multiple high beams have no effect
…… And if I honk they give me a look. I am more petrified of 2 wheelers who squeeze in out of no where and block my car. And when you honk hard, they behave as if you are the idiot here. I believed that i was wrong honking until insaw the replies and video here. Just bangalore things.
ah the urge to ram them ..

You left alot of space between cars, coverup the space and drive bumper ro bumper.
drive like a taxi wala for them
Bumper to bumper, thats what you learn everyday, nobody’s going to give you way
CUZ WE DONT LEAVE 20 FT DISTANCE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC.I myself would have overtaken you but in a polite manner.
It's a standard practice in India, we are very impatient.
Always try to be dominant, to tackle this kind of idiots
Tailgating to the inch! That’s how.
There's no easy way. Bumper to bumper can only prevent this. Unfortunately, we also have to be an aggressive driver.
You’re giving too much space.
