dude.. from now on, make it a point not to go too close to a lady driver or an auto rickshaw wala..both are equally dangerous..everyone says that gals are much more safer drivers and the guys are rash n all that stuff...the fact i ve seen is that they are over careful that they forget whats happening around them... Even i had a similar incident recently and luckinly nothing happened as i was coming slowly....a 40+ lady just crossed the road near a blind curve without looking anywhere..
PS: no offence to any one here...there a few who drives well..that i know...but i am talking of the majority ..
Similarly these auto drivers think that it is their roads and can do what ever they want to..even i had an accident coz of one, who just turned without any signal n i rammed onto him...since it was his his fault nobody put the blame on me n i also didnt have any injuries.
Especially if any lady is involved in any accident, all the blame comes on the head of the male drivers involved in it. Nobody tends to hear or see what has happened and simply attack them..this is what i hate the most..

Bad ...... but its good that you didn't argue.

Masses in India are always like this. Even educated people will jump on the bandwagon whenever there is a commotion. They find it a good opportunity to give some "gyaan" to others.

Hopeless people.

LOL - yeah stay away from these :

1. Yellow boards - especially Indicabs.
2. Ladies - on 2wheels or 4wheels - the worst part is you can't argue with them and you can't scold them.
3. Old people and Middle Aged people - well you can't blame them, they are driving as quickly as they can - no use honking, just avoid.
4. Teenage "rossi's" - rash idiots without helmets doing wheelies et al on main roads. Recipe for disaster.

@OT prolly.

All these talks about lady riders brought back a funny memory. I and my friend were driving a sumo (2002 or sometime) and he was taking a reverse with the reverse sound on. And, this hottie from our area was on her newly bought scooty riding just behind us of which we had no clue. But we expected them to clear the way out since we were reversing (at a real slow speed)... it was only when we heard the thump sound we realised that she was right under the rear of the sumo. LoL, so much for lady drivers = safe riders.

Mate, sh!t happens. Just move on and be ULTRA cautious (bold it for extra stress if you may) when riding around or near lady riders or L'ed drivers.

This again shouts out for lane management by traffic board. It would only be better if they could provide a three or 2 1/2 (5) laned roads with that 1/2 a lane exclusive to bikers (0bhp too) and where possible a lane exclusive to HMV. Lane management and discipline should solve almost 80% of problems like jams and accidents.

In the public, if ur opposition is someone of the fairer sex, the blame is on you , no matter what, and that s the way it is.

In this kind of case i was lucky.
I was riding my friends Bullet Machismo with my truck driver as a pillion.
Going through a narrow lane i was not even at 35kmph the road was a little lower than some of the small workshop which had slopes.
A truck was parked at the side, the moment i cross the truck i see two kids sprinting on their bicycle from the workshop towrds the road, me too slammed the brake the bike ran side ways but managed not to fall neither the bike fell. I hit the Bicycle, when the things settle some people come shouting before i understand they are close to me but to my surprise they were shouting at the Kids (someone else's).

humm.. Nearly everybody has t same experiences. I had crashed hard three time and twice it was due Autorickshaw, another time i was an elder who came in t wrong way... When ever i see ladies on a two wheeler or in a four wheeler, you have be alert.. Or else we have to pay for their stupid mistakes. we have to forgive most of the females and elderly riders who ride in t centre of t road at 30 km per hour.. Nothin can be done. I have also seen many people have a deaf years to horns.:-) i don come to tell that i always ride at 40km. I don't. But i have an open eyes. Stop looking at salwars and other bikes which look kool, you are 95% safe.. Another annoying thing which you can find in chennai is, in a signal when we are standing in t first,people just come before with their bike and block t exit.. Literally. it all happens. Rather than blaming, we can drive more safe and keep ourselves from dangers way

+1 here..

This happens almost everyday to everyone.

All we can do keep all our senses alert for unexpected events.

Cheers and ride safe

The most dangerous creatures on road are in that order -
(i) A lady driver on a 4-wheeler;
(ii) A Lady with another lady crossing the road;
(iii) A Lady driver on a 2-wheeler;
(iv) A lady pedestrian/road walker;
(v) A lady with a child crossing the road;
(vi) An elderly Lady standing on the footpath;
(vii) Young children on their own crossing the road;
(viii) A rash idiot (of any gender) on CD 100/ TVS Star City.
(ix) A three-wheeler (driven by any gender).
(x) A cyclist (of any gender).

I don't bother about anything and everything else on the road .
The above examples are from my personal experiences. The problem with ladies are that they don't have reflexes fast enough to save them in case they have witnessed a coming possible emergency.

Same incidence occured with me and my wife while driving on mumbai pune highway where there was no fault of mine where one lady driving a scorpio gng at a speed of 70 suddenly applied brakes and turned to the right and i was just a few feet away frm her i applied my brakes but bad luck i ended crashing down with a broken wrist, my wife also suffered injuries but thanks to my wife who slapped at the idiot lady driver and fired her like anything. though crowd was gathered but they also charged the scorpio lady as it was clearly her fault, it took 2 mths to recover from a broken wrist.

i feel ladies should not be given licenses to drive on highways beyond a speed of 40

A similar incident happened with a friend of mine. He was driving down a highway at around 80-85 Kmph on his P180 with a pillion. A lady driving a Santro in front of him suddenly decides to turn right and slams on her brakes . This poor guy has no other option but to brake as hard as possible. He slams his brakes, does a stoppie near the car, is flung off the bike and his head crashes into the car's gate pillar. Luckily he wears a good Studds helmet which broke open and saved his head. He had to be rushed to hospital as he fainted there. The pillion was lucky as he got catapulted over the car and landed with minor bruises.
The fault....as usual was considered to be my friend's....."Yeh aajkal ke ladke bike pe udte firte hain."....... i mean c'mon dude!! what was he supposed to do?? he was well within speed limits!! But this is how WE INDIANS are!
