    Does "Going so fast, on a ghat road, in a Ford Endeavour/ Mahindra Scorpio, that the body roll doesn't let them stick to their lane while cornering so cutting the other person off the road" count?

    Coz it happened to me today.. Should have clicked a video though
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      I once asked the above question in the thread - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/art-safe...tsafe-com.html and this is the original post.

      So this contest seems to be some initiative to the above. While we might get some gifts for identifying the person, what does the person get? Punished? Or something else? How does this work? Are we submitting this video to court or something upon multiple violations?

      So what's the idea behind this @Sunny? So we spot the "idiot" who causes trouble & stay away from him? Is that all or are there some more?

        Identifying a problem is the first and the most important step towards resolving it, isn't it? And, this contest is a step in that direction only. The idea is not to punish the people in these videos, but to educate "others" who might be committing the same mistakes but are not aware of it because nobody ever pointed it out to them. Even if 10% of those people who have seen these videos and are able to identify the idiots there and realize their own mistakes, i guess this contest is a success.

        So we spot the "idiot" who causes trouble & stay away from him? Is that all or are there some more?
        No, see the videos and check that are you not committing the same mistakes, as these "idiots." And, if you are, THIS is the time to correct it. And if you are not, then spread the word and help educate more people.

        Not to forget, you can win goodies in this process.

          When I saw the word 'Idiot', I decided to tel what happened to me yesterday. Here it is.

          I was heading to a nearby supermarket from my house, which is hardly 500mts. Though it was a very short distance I decided to keep my helmet ON. While waiting at a signal, I had a big blow to the back of my head and fell to the ground. Vision blackened for a few seconds and it was only later that I realized what had happened.
          A stupid cleaner of a tempo lorry which was parked beside me opened the door in a hurry without the knowledge of my presence and it made quite a big blow to my skull. I really don't know what would have happened to me if my lid was OFF.
          Thank god I am safe now.

          PS: Always have your lid ON if you get on your bike, irrespective of the distance. This is what I learnt today, and will follow it henceforth.
