Egostic, auto driver, auto drivers are really inhumane this country!
This is my 2022 Virtus driven 43kms thus far, and I have been cautiously driving it since beginning without leaving any scratches and always kept my patience in our Indian roads, no matter what.
Yesterday, I was driving through northern part of chennai roads in TN (most chaotic traffic in my driving experience), it was a one way road with a Tasmac (wine shop) in it. An auto came opposite which is a wrong way driving. Despite this situation, I slowly halted my car near opposite to the Tasmac where literally 30 to 40 two wheelers parked just on the road disrupting flow of traffic and I left way for the auto to exit the one way road. While he was crossing my car, we made eye contact and I stared at him asking why he is coming through one way and making difficulties for all, and the result is - he 'rightfully' uttered some beautiful words and purposefully scratched my car and left a visible dent as shown in the pic above. I do not have dash cam installed [its my mistake] and I will review the cost and see if I can opt for insurance if that's efficient.
I did not had a chance to catch the auto driver or know the vehicle details. I just left the place literally with a broken 💔. I am sure he may have made a mockery out of me last night with his friends, and yeah his ego won!
Though, I did not committed any fault, I pay the price here. Is buying car after a long middle class struggle and driving in india so challenging?
The questions that come up to mind is -
Why do we need to live here and face all these daily challenges?
When one will show empathy on others?
Where is compassion?
Where is accountability?
WHERE IS LAW ENFORCERS AND LAW?
Anyways, to all car drivers, please install dashcam.
To all traffic policemen, 🙏 enforce the law that is already there in the books. It will make our life easier on Indian roads. Jai Hind!
