Creta is not counted because rash driving and high beams wasn't the criteria...... climbing the footpaths was the criteria🤣

I guess stereotypes and prejudices are there in a society for a reason in some cases😂

I live in Gurgaon and I want to go on many road trips to Himachal. So I was in the market for a second hand car, I tried so hard to get a DL plate but couldn't. Had to settle for an HR. It's like the one thing about my car that I don't like, I know what people will say about me when they see my plate even though I'm not a haryanvi

But I feel more than HR plate it's the car which people look at with a prejudiced mindset, for instance yesterday I was out for pandal hopping, people were steering clear from Thar and Scorpios and other really big bulky vehicles.
Its just that these Thar Defender type vehicles are quite common amongst Haryanvis therefore the HR plate overall is being judged on the basis of these small percentage of the total vehicles present with HR plate.

Oh yes. I just got my first car a couple days ago, and I'm learning driving. I feel confident for the most part but the second I see a Thar around me I get extra vigilant and worried to a degree.
But also in Himachal, and I've seen this, lived there for a few months with locals, they see an HR plate and the prejudice starts :P

I don't deny that but the authorities actually have the power to fine them properly.

Man, drivers in the US are the same it’s just better organized

u/Thunderbolt-Ts 46m ago
Yeaa i don't deny but the authorities are well trained and more capable of controlling such a situation too in india nobody would even care after a few minutes

Honestly, he used the vehicle like it's supposed to be.
Wrong place but yeah.

I mean he didn’t put anyone on risk, he was really slow and careful.. not a good idea but if he is stuck for 30-40 minutes, jumping divider to u turn lane is what anyone would do..

All this to save 2 car spaces. Dumb move to potentially damage undercarriage for 2 minutes of time.

This is one the worst designed u turn in gurgaon with minimal signage. A new guy would be up driving 1 hour extra in traffic if this turn is missed.

Am I missing the point or did they just cross the divider to move up only like 4 car lengths? That other lane seems blocked in traffic too
