I managed to stop my laughter somehow and then (^^) this happened! I am laughing like a retard now!!
Sorry again if I sound like a cruel person with absolutely no heart! Anyway, I was in kind of a gloomy mood this evening and this brightened me up! Thanks for sharing. Now I can sleep peacefully! |
Thats alright, come to think of it now, it gives me and my friends a good laugh, but that moment, I nearly peed myself. Glad my incident brightened you up. Have a good laugh, its really funny now.

And just look at the timing ! How bad can something get !?
Seriously, Murphy's law works always strike at the right time ! |
Believe me, I have been driving cars/bikes in Bengaluru for almost 10 years now and that incident has been one of a kind. I have never ever had an experience like that. Truly. Although I did have a similar kind of incident when I was going to college during the bike days.

I'm going to be extra careful from now on about my personal idiosyncrasies when driving late in the night. Or when standing at a signal!! ![LOL](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/LOL.png) |
After this incident, I have made sure to be extra careful at shady signals and dingy areas. My work gets me really late, so on many occasions I come home by 11pm - 12 am.

Tell me about it. I once happened to do a similar thing at a traffic signal. As I was yelling at my friend for making me wait and in the heat of the phone call, I pointed "the finger", the lady in the car next to mine, showed me a finger too and zoomed away.

I drive a Hyundai and I've never had such an experience. I never would want one either ![Uncontrollable Laughter](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/uncontrollable laughter.png) |
I just turned 28 yesterday and I keep my hair short too (because of profession), but at one point, I grew it long enough to do that.

True, I mean, I paid almost 13 lacs for my car and it comes with everything except a speed sensing door autolock

At least it seems you don't have a wife to give answers. ![Big Grin](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png) |
Me too had a Astar ZXi untill it died completely and that had speed sensing door locks. Hyundai has taken Cost cutting to a whole new level. No wife, but had a big argument over this matter with "then" GF.

Wow, they just got cat-jacked LOL

By the way, can speed sensing auto door locks be added after market? |
Believe me, I was shocked too. I never once in my life had expected this to happen.

When you switch off the car, the lock will open in any case. Hence the moral of the story is to stop using the mobile while driving and you will be more alert to the happenings around you! Cheers

Sir, I agree that using mobile while driving is bad. But I was on hands-free and in my 10 years of driving, never ever have I had an encounter like that.
Also I idle my diesel car at signals (propably also a bad thing).
Also what I have noticed is, my present Verna and my aStar did not unlock doors on switching off the engine, they only did so on removing the key.
Guess a lot of people enjoyed this incidence. Will share more funny incidences over time. I have had quite a few.
