  • The streets are filled with idiots

    "The streets are filled with idiots" was the tag line for a tyre brand ad with dint elaborate much also another tyre brand ad shows donkey in middle of the street but from my personal experience what i have found out is animals follow traffic rules better than humans they will walk in a straight line in one side of the road or right in the middle of the road acting like dividers but Humans or I should say INDIANS are pathetic in regards to traffic rules.


    In this post i am not going to even talk about Triple sitters,drunken driving/riding,rash driving/riding,driving/riding at high speeds as these are classified as crimes
    types of idiots on road in my opinion are


    The Spitting Cobra: If my grammar teacher reads this post she would give me a zero for using a singular word for millions of people.
    This type of idiot does not car if about clean city or even spread of diseases or even the paint and cleanliness of others bikes and cars these kinds of idiots are even more dangerous when they are car drivers when they open the door of the cars to spitting even if its an express way. They are available in millions or probably 85% of total population on road.The Supreme court of India was not wrong in saying that spitting is
    hereditary in Indians. If the pans contain ads in them and if they wold spread on the road on the roads after its spit out Bill Gates would ask the pan wallas for lpan


    In search of a Girlfriend idiot or (pervert):Imagine a girl on a scooty and a guy riding with a pillion suddenly the tapsya of this Visvamitra is broken by Urvashi and he has to divert his attention somewhere else he suddenly attains magical infrared sensors on his Ears as he is looking side ways the front tyre of his bike will kiss the rear bumper of anything on wheels on road

    The Ghajini Idiot: This guy knows where to go but somehow forgets the road to the destination they will straight and some how will remember a shortcut and for this shortcut they will go on the wrong side enter one way go over the dividers take a U turn and again a U turn because they dont want to go that way purposely dint say a round because it is not particularly a round it somewhat an amoeba

    Amature Idiot: Ok so these are not really idiots.I mean they are learning the art kudos to them but its sometimes very irritating.They will drive at 20 kmph on empty stretches and will brake out of the blue.I mean you should learn but at nights or early mornings when the road are empty or play grounds or empty lands not on road when there is traffic.


    The Honking idiot: What can i say about these idiots we all face them just a short sweet summary of these these idiots they think that the engine wont run if the dont honk.some of them are music lovers they honk in a rhythmic tone the best way i found to tackle these idiots is let them overtake you be exactly behind them and peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep peeeeeeeeeeeep poison kills poison doesnt it



    Queue is for You Idiot:They are usually kind of people you would find on signals or during some jammed traffic traffic by some procession they will suggest by hand signals to you to stop let them go forward with a arrogant body language, if you have a heated argument definitely they will ask for help to find there dadss "tu janta hai mera baap kon hai"

    Centre of attractions: Wanted to replace the double tt's with double ss's but the i signed the XBHP posting agreement, these kinds of idiots will drive on the withe lines bisecting the two lanes who have to flip a coin to know which lane there are on imagine a small hatchback say maruti 800 been driven by an idiot and behind imagine yourself in an suv say a fortuner as per newton's fourth law

    The amount of heat generated in the head of the driver of the fortuner would be directly proportional to level of idiotness of zen driver
    and it usually generates enough heat to boil water

    The head of the flock idiot: This idiot is already an idiot without any gender bias as this idiot is usually married .India is a free country you can move about with your partner and offspring/s but you still got to follow the traffic rules to cross roads these idiots usually contain middle aged people
    they will be traffic police for some time will indicate you to stop will bring the traffic to a stand still and then there convoy will cross the roads only after which you are allowed to cross the road


    please share your tales,i am sure we are gonna have million stories even if everybody even remembers 10% of there encounters with different types of idiots please feel free to post the other categories of idiots which i may have missed i sure have because streets are filled with idiots

    Thanks for Reading sorry no pics

      Re: The streets are filled with idiots

      Well you have stated the most common types of idiots found on roads.. Would like to add more to the list..
      -People whi drive on the far right lane on the 6-lane expressway at 50-60km/h.. We know safty is in slow driving, but man wake up.. Driving at such speeds would kill you.. Trucks and trailer at 90+ speeds would not be able to slow down.. Just go to the far left and drive there..
      i have seen many doing such driving..

      -Overtaking from the left side.. We all do this sometimes, but atleast honk and make the driver aware of your intensions.. In most cases, he will allow you to overtake from the right side.. But coming silently zooming past is dangerous for both of us.. I have had my share of 'touchy' monents due to such idiots..

      -Imagine a truck in one lane on a two lane road.. And we all small vehicles have to ride on the other lane.. Then comes this idiot and starts riding paraller to the truck and not overtaking or some old gag riding just slow in this lane and not overtaking.. Wth..!! If you are to scared to overtake him when he's signaling you, then better stay at home and let others drive..

      Ride safe and have fun.

        Re: The streets are filled with idiots

        Guys who tailgates on the highway and when I increase the speed a little bit to make some gap, he too increases the speed.

        Truckers who do not slow down on a narrow bridge and blinds the oncoming traffic by constantly flashing their headlight.

        And probably the grossest one is people who vomit by taking their head out of car/bus window. Got vomit over me a couple of times that way.
        I am back!

            You halt at the signal and wait for it to turn green. The signal turns green and the next immediate second you hear honking from cars, bikes, auto rickshaws and most importantly from the government buses behind signalling you to push off as if they are in a runaway to take off into the skies .

            You find yourself in a calm road ahead. You decide to cruise along at steady speed to enjoy every kilometer. The moment you shift to top gear a dumb buffalo or a lady or a kid or some uncivilized thick-head begins crossing the road. You slow down far away allowing him to cross over. But then they remember something and stop allowing you to speed away. Taking this opportunity you throttle again. Again this thick-head begins crossing neither allowing you speed away nor cruise. You gradually end up downshifting to 2nd gear and even before you go on top gear you reach the next signal where the above scenario begins ensuring you reach office with a happy mood .

            Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

            It is funny to know that we've been imitated and copied so well
            and surprising when we notice our mistakes are copied as well.

              Yes, I remember my CHN days.
              In BLR, honking starts when its 5 sec to go green and people start moving when its 2 sec still left.
              Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                Rightly said mate! It used to be so frustrating that I screamed out the responses to my wife's discussions. My bad!

                These days I do not get frustrated at all.
                Reason: My 2yr old daughter sits on the fuel tank and I just name the passing vehicles to her. She learns while I don't even care of such honking thick-heads anymore .

                  Re: The streets are filled with idiots

                  I think my days are running extremely sore and I am generously expressing my frustrations on the internet platforms, most regularly xBhp as I am sure that brothers here will understand. Today's scene - Bangalore morning around 8.30 am, route - starting from vidhan soudha signal towards hebbal:

                  As it is Monday, despite the blues, I woke up early, got dressed in full razor-sharp ironed formals and took my bike to office. Everything seemed to be perfect - timing, grooming, freshness, ride et al. Then came the IDIOT!! I stopped for the signal to open but before the timer was over honking starts. I was slow as I didn't wanna ride fast and signaled the following airport cab to proceed. Now, as I turn back, this M#@hERfcu#!! driver shouts and signals and shows middle finger to me (WTF) With all the mood gone, I showed him my finger too, bloody driver swayed his car towards me in an attempt to corner (& if possible hit ) and he kept showing me signs to stop. Since I didn't wanna get late I didn't stop and guess what, this MoFu, S.O.B. followed me till the golf course road and honked and started the drama again - he seemed so desperate to pick a fight. I decided, that's it!, but for some reason he dashed off to avoid another stop/junction (my glorious morning spoiled)
                  Later, I saw him fighting with other vehicles also - typical style (Bangaloreans would know) hand high and shout... deiiiiii, yenna sum #$%@^& (fcuker).

                  How do you guys take care of such IDIOTS??? I didn't even see any Policewalas on the way & also didn't wanna get physical so early in the morning (with all that history of violence of mine) - blood, scars and torn formals just doesn't cut it!

                      I understand mate. I've been through this many times. Alas! All you can do to such barbarians is just stop, get off your bike and walk up to him decently showing signs that you are ready for anything. No need to talk but just keep staring straight to the eye, point blank. This makes 'em lose control and go submissive. At this point, just say "It is okay. Please leave. We are disturbing the public" ask him to leave and you do the same.

                      However, if the situation turns out otherwise, be prepared to roll up your sleeves and put the watch in your pockets. If you are sure to take the opponent with one not-so-damaging blow trickily, go ahead (you could do that with that history of violence). Else look around and immediately surrender in our corporate manner .

                      Hope you have a nice day today!
                      Cheers!

                        Thanks for clearing the air, mate. A good one. At times like these decisions are taken quickly & it isn't pleasant most of the time. Internally being sarcastic and showing signs of apology and giving him way while carrying a joyous smile should actually work, like you said! Challenge is to remain calm & composed while you're already high on temper. phew!!!

                          Poor you
                          sometimes it feels like people get to roads just to haress others and take their frustations out.. Don't worry bud.. Just forget about them, they are not worth your time..
                          the next part would be fun

                          Ride safe and have fun.

                            Oye, I suggest you not get pissed off and angry at every possible opportunity. I also reach office via Majestic, so I get to see all these morons around.
                            Coincidentally, I had a similar incident today. I was waiting for the signal to go green in Malleswaram when an impatient Innova starts honking with 10 seconds to go.
                            I was already half past the zebra crossing and this idiot couldn't wait for a few seconds. Anyways, I simply stayed there without even looking at him.
                            As the signal went green I moved to the side and let him pass.
                            Guess what; he went ahead and banged into an auto. It took me 10 min to ensure that all kids in the auto (there were 4 of them) and the auto driver were safe. Only the driver needed some anti septic treatment due to road rash, kids were all fine. They forgot the scary incident after I got them a 5 star each.

                            People don't have patience and nobody stopped to help small kids in an overturned auto.

                            Hence, a possible bad start of a day was in fact one of the best starts I have ever had.

                            Agree to [MENTION=62914]petrolhead_chn[/MENTION] completely.
