I have started a # on twitter. #idiotontheroad. The idea is to tweet registration number of the car which is driving recklessly or violating any traffic norm. Most of these drivers think they can get away with any stupidity. Atleast twitting their car number will make them think that the rest of us do see them as idiots even if they consider themselves as machos. |

WHen being tailgated, slow down (gently, of course!) and create even more space between yourself and the car in front of you, because you now need stopping distance for two! |

Sad to hear this Arun and thank almighty you made it safe. Awaiting more details but I feel this is another incidence where dezire has saved a disciplined owner. Biker must have been unhurt as he sped away? Good that you did right thing but he sure didn't! Not sure if you have opted in for overnighter but even if your ride isn't ready by then, happy to pick you along. Happy driving :) (I know you drive safe so didn't need to mention!) |

Sorry to hear that Arun! Glad that you escaped unhurt. Do fill us in on the details. I am curious to know how the two-wheeler was heading. Were you able to swerve into the divider because it did not have the railing? I am wondering if the railing was present, what could have been the outcome! Brake hard perhaps? |

Hi Arun, sad to hear this. Thankfully you are OK. The car will be fixed within a month (max). I want to thank all those kind souls too who helped you in your ordeal. I had an accident one year ago when a 2 wheeler suddenly veered in front of my car. Now when I drive through the highways, I am really weary of villagers in 2 wheelers popping out suddenly through medians. Once again, the importance of wearing seatbelts was proved. Seatbelts save lives. Please belt up friends,always. |

There must have been a combination of luck and good handling on your part that this did not turn out far worse, eg flipping the car. Anyway, it's bad enough, and not a nice way to start the new year. At least something good came of it! |

Hey Arun, just saw this post today !! What happened man ? I never imagined in my wildest dream that your car would turn up here, and that too such a major one. Really saddenning to see the ride. Your's was one of the most well maintained cars that I know of in the close circles. The damage looks monstorous from the list you have made. Lot of money and time would be wasted around. Hope there is no significant damage to the chassis and underbody. I am happy that you were unscathed. Good things happen to good people. God bless man. Hope you and your car recovers soon from the trauma. Keep us posted on the final outcome of the repair. |

Overspeeding.. Please dont do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=bvLaTupw-hk Mods: I know its OT, but i think its more suitable for this one than the ads thread. Please move it if not. |

Otherwise, the damage to life and property could have been beyond our imaginations. |
