Team-BHP - Accidents in India

Too many fools in this video, first it all started with an idiot with absolute no civic sense of how to park in a tight spot. Within seconds I spotted couple of fools, Dzire was partially into opposite lane to avoid a drainage pot hole :Frustrati a biker tried to overtake Dzire and got hit by him. Firstly, Dzire had no business to drive on to opposite lane when he had ample space in left and biker was down right stupid to have tried to squeeze in. Thankfully nothing major happened, the biker was up on his feet. Last but not the least, one can notice at the time of accident another fool was turning backwards and riding like a superman rl:

Off topic, can you please invest in a CPL filter for the dashcam? There is serious amount of glare in the footage which could render the evidence useless when required the most.

Look how callously the guys in the XUV are getting off; the one guy who climbed out of the front passenger door didn’t even flinch upon seeing the injured person. :Frustrati

Saw this while browsing X. It is shocking to believe how such an incident can happen. Having a customer car get into an accident ~20km away from the service centre is something even fiction writers cannot come up with. Add the arrogant attitude and claims of using slurs and I simply have no words to describe this situation. I hope the affected person gets their due.

Did not notice at first till you pointed it out. This is really bad. Forget about driving sense, don't they have basic humanity.

This accident happened yesterday where a BMTC Volvo bus lost control. The accident was recorded by a camera inside the bus - News.

A Volvo driver allegedly lost control over the wheels while driving near Hebbal Flyover in Bengaluru, Karnataka. After which, the heavy vehicle hit several bikes and cars in line plying on the road. The bus driver first hit a biker then kept on moving forward, taking more vehicles in its grip. The bus stopped only after a car packed with passengers stood horizontally in front of it.

The tragic incident was recorded in a CCTV camera installed inside the bus cabinet. According to the officials, one biker has sustained injuries to his leg. The incident happened yesterday morning around 9.30.

A toddler (1.5 yrs) has lost her life in a freak accident at a mall parking lot, in Agra. The careless parents of the toddler can be seen interacting amongst themselves, while the child wanders around the parking lot unsupervised. There was no way the Ertiga driver would have noticed the child while moving from his parking slot, as it was clearly a blind spot, especially because of the child's height. News reports have suggested that the child has lost her life. Very unfortunate incident.

It is really difficult to loose you child and the feeling is hard to describe. But after watching this, I would put all the blame on parents only. I feel really sad for them, but they paid ultimate prize for one mistake.

This same thing I fear every time I take my car from mall parking. It looks like us, responsible car drivers care for ourselves, and for people around us. And even after that if this happens, I don't know what to say!

The vehicle lost control is a term very easily used in our country for accidents. To me, this looks like the driver stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. The bus can be seen accelerating instead of stopping or slowing down.

The Agra incident is heart wrenching. As someone rightly pointed, sole responsibility lies with parents for being so callous. I may get some brickbats here but I feel bad about the driver also - he could be a regular guy just like any of us but now having to bear the trauma having accidently killed someone and having to deal with a lengthy and torturous legal process.

I know it is a good practice to check around your car before you move and some of us do it religiously. But in practice many folks will not do it and the sitting position in SUVs make things even worse.

I believe they let the brother take care of the toddler, as you can see him playing with the toddler in the video. It’s very sad to watch. For some reason, I feel a bit paranoid every time I leave parking lots, perhaps because I’ve witnessed similar accidents before. It’s better to be a defensive driver than to be sorry.

I don't think we are to blame the poor driver here. After all, toddler is not even bumper high and no way he might have noticed her. And now, he has to live with the guilt of her death. All because the parents decided to discuss something important in car parking, out of all places.
