Car and SUV drivers flouting traffic rules on public roads is a very common sight in India. While any type of modification is considered illegal, there are still people who get the windows tinted and install illegal and loud horns and lights in their cars. Irrespective of the city or town, we often come across road rage incidents from different parts of the country. This time, we have a video from Bihar where a Skoda Kushaq driver stood his ground and made a Toyota Fortuner on the wrong side of the road back off.
The video has been shared by Prateek Singh on his YouTube channel. He got this video from the Skoda Kushaq owner. The Kushaq driver, along with someone else, was driving through a road in Bihar. We see a line of cars coming from the service road next to the flyover in front. All these vehicles were probably driving on the wrong side of the road.
The Skoda Kushaq driver took a slight left and did not drive up the ramp. As he took the deviation, he saw a Toyota Fortuner SUV coming towards his SUV. The Kushaq driver did not move the car and stopped the SUV right in front of the Fortuner. If you look carefully, the SUV had tinted glasses and also came with illegal horns.
Both SUVs stopped, and the Fortuner driver was probably under the impression that the Kushaq driver might turn the car around and make way for his SUV. However, nothing like that happened. After a few seconds, when the Fortuner driver realized this, he and his co-passenger came out and started arguing with the Kushaq driver.
He asked the dashcam car driver to turn the car to the left so that they could move ahead. The Kushaq driver said no and stood his ground. The Fortuner driver even claimed that the Kushaq driver was on the wrong side. In fact, it was the Fortuner driver who cut the line and was overtaking other vehicles on the opposite lane. When they realized that this argument or conversation was not going anywhere, they went back, moved the car away, and continued driving in their lane.
What the Skoda driver did here is quite commendable. However, it is not always advisable. Patience is what you need the most while driving on Indian roads. Such arguments can easily escalate and turn into a physical fight. We have seen several examples of the same. The Skoda driver did the right thing, but if you analyze the footage, the Kushaq driver could have turned the car to the left side and made way for the Fortuner.
This way, both parties wouldn’t have wasted their precious time on the road.
Not the First Time
A few months ago, we came across a similar video from Bihar where a Tata Harrier Dark Edition driver, who had a government department board on the car, came from the wrong side and stopped the SUV in front of a Kia Seltos. The Seltos driver refused to give way as it was the Harrier that was on the wrong side.
The Harrier driver did come out and argue with the Seltos driver. Just like in this case, both parties wasted their time, and after a few minutes, the Harrier driver turned the car away from the Seltos and continued to drive on the wrong side.
Similarly, we also came across another video where a police vehicle makes a bus driver reverse for driving on the wrong side of the road.
