Almost ended up dying twice in 'ONE' day
Hey all. I love Pune but it is becoming very hard to still be in love with this wonderful city cause of a few reasons. 1. I was on the highway, and took the exit at Suncity Rd and a car was merging from the left but there was sufficient space for them to merge and for me to continue without stopping, so I continued and suddenly an Innova driver came up to my right and scraped my 2W bit, fortunately it touched the bodyguard and did not do any damage. I got a bit scared as if I had been a bit to the right, they would have easily dashed into me. I was in the left lane while they were in the right lane going in the same direction as me (totally wrong side). I honked at them and they did not even look back, then I saw them being busy chatting on their phone. I gave up and continued my journey. 2. While coming back home, on the Sinhgad Clg road, I was riding safely and all of a sudden a swift came at me from the left, luckily I had enough time (and space as no vehicle in the opposite lane and no-one behind me) to react and swerved to the right to avoid a collision. Once again, I checked what the driver is doing and saw they are busy chatting with their friends / relatives in the car. 3, If you complain about them being wrong, get ready to get beaten up or something. At this point, I feel hopeless in the law & order as well as civic sense of this city. 4. Auto drivers try their best to rip you off. If you use Uber, many times they will rant about how Uber takes some commission, but if you try going direct, they do not want to go unless you pay 2.5 times of the usual fare. 5. The roads are real bad with no real markings on speed-breakers. Kuthe sulta speedbreaker tar kadhi ulta ! I have been to many cities, and yes, I am not going to say that this is something which only happens in Pune, but lately such incidents have been happening a lot. Many of my friends and relatives also complain to me about similar experiences. I find it somewhat of a relief when I drive / ride in other cities. I still love this city but we need to figure out the above. I really hope that we figure it out someday. End of rant. Thank you!2
