desi driving

[Xandu]

why do so many desis in USA drive like idiots?

there's a stark difference between between the way Americans drive and the way desis and Chinkies drive.

on so many occasions I've noticed these fellas drive at 60-50 mph on a freeway and in the left lane.. blody frustrating. The same fukkers who rip in the narrow streets in India are total duffers here?

and desi women driving in USA :eek:, man-o-man - horrible would be an understatement. :mad:

[laal_langot]

Bhaiya Xandu seems like you've just come of a freeway tagging a desi for a couple of hours....well if toyota's and honda's and nisaan's are the preferred metal pets then I dont blame them...with those cars driving at 100mph feels like a bullock cart flying with the bull trying to break loose from the cart...in India if you are driving at 70mph on a highway you are liable for section 302 IPC...its that big a crime...because in India our rules work diferently....cows have the right of way, footpaths = bus lane, red = go green = stop yellow(bulb fused)....

[Xandu]

laal,

it's not as much about the cars. I have a V6 Camry but I know that even the most powerless among the lot can easily do 75mph without seeming too fast... 100mph is speeding and no one is asking them to do that. but driving 10-15 miles below speed limit on the fast lane is what I am pissed about. They can atleast have the basic sense of not staying in the leftmost lane if driving at 50-55mph when the official speed limit is 65 and unofficial limit about 75-80mph. (Never heard of a cop ticketing someone for driving at 80 in 65 zone so far unless the person was weaving a lot.)

it's more about their bloody attitude and lack of concern for others. when you are driving 30 miles to work early morning to beat rush hour blues every second counts and more seconds you lose the more traffic adds into the freeways downstream, eventually slowing you all the more. And while I find an occasional American idiot who eventually realises his fault when you begin tailgating, these desis and chinkus never seem to know that a rear-view mirror exists - tailgating never works :mad: (most desis never look at that part in India, do they?). I wont make any comments about desi women - they are beyond the point of salvage... It's a fact that their brain never evolved to drive and are now being forced to drive due to circumstances. Not really their fault...

The most amazing thing is that every of this fukker, put on that thing called Luna/moped in Bangalore, thinks he/she has the meanest machine in the world. And each of these bastards/bitches think they are Jagat Nanjappa/Anita Nanjappa when in India and clock world speed records getting from their house to their friends house at the end of the same street in a residential area. 90% Indian drivers suck... :confused:

[kate]

.. and is branding the whole India community as bad drivers.

I think Indians drive pretty much like the rest of the motorists on the road . Some may not be as good a driver as others. Xandu, it is important to show patience on road. This thread smells of your road rage.

[Xandu]

exactly...

now I know what precisely causes road-rage. IDIOTS like you on the road who think it's their ancestral property, drive like a moron, and try to justify it by asking the good drivers to be patient as if you own their time .

just sick

[kate]

Showing road rage on the highway does you no good. But who am I to tell an IDIOT what to do.

'cauze you are such a loser!!!

[Xandu]

that's OK.

being a woman (that's what I read about you around here), and on top of it - an Indian woman, you are bound to think you drive very good and all men are idiots and bla bla...

i never mentioned that I exhibited road-rage on the highway. tailgating is a polite and firm way of telling someone you want to pass, something more rude would be to flash or honk. however, being a Indian woman driver, you are bound to think that no one has a right to tailgate you and send a subtle signal because the road is your ancestral property.

so you classify tailgating as road-rage and you are jumping to conclusions about what I do on the highways - another Indian woman trait. (obviously wrong conclusions - telling explicitly becos just thot you may not realise that since you are a Indian woman)

not your fault... just the way your brain evolved. am not blaming you. :cool:

if they would give you prizes for your driving, then i'd rather be a loser.

[laal_langot]

aap logon ne to yaheen pe freeway pe freestyle shuru karr diya ya is it more like grand prix mein gand pricks???thand rakho bhai....

[Shringarey]

being a woman (that's what I read about you around here), and on top of it - an Indian woman, you are bound to think you drive very good


But they don't - they think the rear mirror is to be used for applying lipstick

shring

[Xandu]

*LOL*

that's why they provide those mirrors in the sunshades.

oh well, but morons will never change. as long as they go on justifying their mistakes, they never can.

on the lighter side, there's this anecdote about coupla enterprising kiddos


A traffic cop was stalking out a 4-way stop intersection in a residential area with a long winding stretch of the main road and traffic occasional, and a general deserted look. A perfect place for jumping a stop sign and rolling stops. However, the occasional cars that passed over a long time - all of them seemed to unfailingly respect the stop sign. Finally he got tired and decided go elsewhere, as he made a left out onto the main street he noticed a kid on the otherside with a poster reading "Cop at Intersection"... on seeing the cop the kid scampered..

Realising what had been happening and out of curiosity he went the opposite way and saw another kid a little further down the road with a poster "Your Gratitude" and a box full with dollar bills below that poster.

everyone that he/she has a V6 Camary but what he forgot to tell is that it has leather seats and a premium sound system with six CD changer.

Chill Xandu!!! or FrankAlan will come after you. I think tailgating is bad driving and most rear end accidents are caused by drivers closely following the vehicle in front of them. When tailgating, you are at a greater risk than the driver in front of you.

By the way, it seems that you have been tailgating Kate while she was putting on the makeup. That's bad manners!!

[gandesh]

first sensical comment from eNRI that at least i've read... :)

LOL

[gandesh]

maybe cuz it was the first one that really made any sense... :D

[aryaputra]

drivers are the same everywhere.

just tell that expert of an american driver to drive a car in india with that same confidence as he/she does in america.


bhaiya Xandu, are you familiar with the term home pitch or home turf or apni gali mein kutta bhi sher hota hain ?

Drivers are NOT same everywhere

Some time back when my parents were in USA, I was once stuggling behind the wheel in a bumber-to-bumper traffic. Soon my mother made a comment which meant "if this were India, in this much traffic, you would only hear people honking".

Driving in USA is certainly less stressful than it is in India. It is different that some people still get stressed out by a desi women driving within posted limit in the fast lane!!!

[Xandu]

hey eNRI,

long time no croak? :)

ow, it wasn't the intention of starting the thread to tell everyone that I have a V6 but the issue of power in cars came up to justify speeds of 50 in 65 zone on the left lane. But since you want to look at it that way, oh yes, I'm proud of my killer engine. No CD changer yet but will get a blast in there soon, am planning to put a home theater in there, ya know! :D also gonna get a Intrepid V6 next and a Corvette after that with wireless cable TV coming into the car/home theater.

Oh, btw. It's "Camry" and not "Camary"... US citizen ban rahe ho phir bhi dehati ke dehati.. both in polish and in thoughts :D kahan halwai ka dookan laga rakha hai Amreekka mei, hayn?

Coming back to the point, even a car with an engine as weak as your logic can easily coast at 65mph (hmmm... not sure of that - your logic seems pathetic) . And if it can't there is atleast another lane and in most cities upto than 4 lanes for people like you to sputter on at 50mph :D

you probably lack the expert driving skills. naturally you would find tailgating unthinkable.
Ofcourse, it's a risk. But it's your reflex action and alertness levels and self-confidence that decide whether it's a risk worth taking or not.

In your case however, it's a tremendous risk because your mind is so sluggish and so are your reflexes. as is evident you only see the one car ahead of you and not look beyond to assess the situation and decide on when to go for it and when not... oh hell. these things dont come naturally. so the least you can do is move over to the slower lanes and sputter on with the 1 MHz processing speeds of your brain.

waise halwai delivery ke liye kaun sa pickup laye ho toadarmal jee?? :D

and yes, it would be my pleasure to tailgate Kate when she's doing her makeup... we guys will have a ball with our creative comments. I anyways, dont have a problem with them.. they are driving out of necessity and circumstances, they're not the ones who will learn from experience :D

----------------
arya,

desh me ek gali hoti hai mana, yahan to char char galiyan hai. aur kutton ko 60mph pahunchte hi moothne ke liye brake marna hai sayeeen to jaye na bagal wali galli mei.. arre kahe ko left most lane mei left indicator lagaye hue paintees ke speed pe kaaanse ja rahe ho bhai ??? bolo bolo...

[aryaputra]

have to agree with you Xandu. the slow drivers should not drive in the left lane. Why any bozo would do that is a mystery to me. Maybe trying to prove that he too can drive in the left lane?

as regards my original statement
drivers are the same everywhere still holds true.

just 'cause your amma said something does not make it an axiom.


try making turn in traffic(in NY/NJ/, LA/SF) without showing your signal and count the number of honks you get..you will run out of fingers!!

[Big-G]

I shink any car can go reaally faasshhtt, and above shixty milesh, but you'll have to paddle really hard.... yeesshhh !!

[kameena]

X,
have to totally agree with you. I feel frustrated the same way. The explanation given by many desis for driving at the leftmost lane at exactly the speed limit is that they arent comfortable with cars PASSING them from both sides. What the hell? stay on the right lane then. Actually if you follow and american MALE for 10 or 15 seconds he simply changes lanes by taking the right lane. But our damn desis stay put.

But I find that many american female drivers in the same category of desi males.
Desi females I think, to reduce the incidence of road rage, they should be banned from driving.

I one day read a bumper sticker "Horn Broken look for finger". Maybe I should follow that.

[smellyfinger]

Universal laws of driving ..

If a car is going faster than you, a maniac is driving it.

If it is going slower, a moron who doesnt know how to drive is behind the wheel.

If they are going the same speed .. "either speed up or slow down, but get out of my way, dammit"

Believe me, these laws hold true. I myself have made all these statements while driving.

And dont get me started about old people. Isnt there a maximum age after which they revoke your license. Geriatric dinosaur in a big car going 45mph in the left lane of a 70 mph freeway with his left blinker on since 1989, trying his best to keep his car in the lane while simultaneously trying to find his teeth that fell on the floor from the last time he sneezed... :mad:

Women drivers are usually slower in speed, but more courteous. However, they need to realize that if they are going slower than the traffic, move over. Dont get an attitude coz someone passes you on the right and then flips you off as he cuts in front of you leaving you with about 2 feet of space. You asked for it..

[kameena]

In most of cases desi drivers are idiots

Your PM mailbox is full again .. whassup wit dat ??

[Xandu]

ooops ...

clearing it. Cheap sardar gandu bashing :D

[SimpleHuman]

I clocked 170km once! but that was while riding Jaguar! :) so I am not those whom xandu hates! :D

[kameena]

Driving from Vegas to Grand canyon in July we had put the Cruise control on at 110 mph. The AC was in full blast. Rental car ki mother sister one ho gayi yaar.

Chal yaar X mujhe gaali mat dena, mai tere hated logon mein nahi hun.

[laal_langot]

Anybody tried the speed limit for ANY car.....and yeah you can include 1960 ki oldsmobile with a speed limit of 120km if you want.....

Kameenay pahji mother sister = brake and suspension??

Waise 110 to ek hi gaadi ki maa behan ek karr sakti hai and that must be PREMIER PADMINI

[smellyfinger]

laal ..

I dont think Padmini can go 110 mph..

Waise mother sister of padmini used to become one at about 80 kmh ..

[laal_langot]

but for most others smelly bhaiya I dont think 110 pe unki gf wife bhi ek hoti hai mother sister to kaafi door hai...in that case lets make it Escort ka tractor

I got stopped by cops for driving at 180 km at around 7 in the evening on a 120 km highway....cop kept talking in arabic and I kep talking in hindi(purposely) finally he started gesturing and saying drive cool....otherwise I was sure to get fined something like $300

[smellyfinger]

You in Arabland langot ??

Where at ??

[laal_langot]

Not there right now khushbudaar bhaiya but otherwise its saddam's holiday resort/favourite picnic spot.....Kuwait

[kameena]

Are yaar Ek ghante 110 pe cruise control lagaaya to engine ka band bajna to hai hi.
Khair Rental company waale ne Angru jaise taxi driver ko chudi hui gaadi bech diya hoga

[laal_langot]

Bhaiya kameen aise to main gaadi sirf ek hi situation mein chalaata hoon.....when I am in DEEP SHIT and I mean literally jabb mujhe pet bhar ke tatti aayi ho...its a race against time....pehle main garage mein gaadi park karta hoon ya mere langot mein parking hoti hai....aapka kissa bhi aisa lagta hai

[kameena]

Nahi yaar. saala road pe koi nahi tha. Upar se freeway pe exits ke beech mein 50 - 60 mile ka distance tha. Aur car bhi rental. Socha kyon nahi maari jaye. Aur mari hui gaadi Aurangya jaise paki chala hi sakte hain.

[patel_rahul]

You are making a generalization from isolated cases. Very weak argument.

[Xandu]

not really.

you try driving in the bay area where there is a large Indian and Chinky represeatation....

It is said of the Chinks:

What do you get if you cross a chink with a mexican?

A kid who knows how to steal a car but does not know how to drive it.

[smellyfinger]

Also,

What happens when Chinks move into a Mexican neighbourhood ....

The Mexicans start buying car insurance.

arya,

Dont worry about running out of fingers. Ask Kate, she also gets many fingers (the middle ones esp.) :D

BTW Kate, eNRI's avatar finally seems to have changed from a toad to some human- like creature with a bad hair-style. finally your hubby got ya to kiss him or wot? ;)
