Road Rage To Violence in Mumbai Claims A Life- Grapevine

Yes, am new to Mumbai. And Mumbai traffic is the worst I have ever seen anywhere in India. I know Blr is infamous for traffic and I have been there too, but Mumbai is just miles apart (no pun intended) when it comes to the unpredictability of going from point A to point B. Part of the problem is I believe are the locals which generate very little to no revenue at all (practically seen :P ). And the other part being the geography of Mumbai itself. But given the conscious and rich gentry of Mumbai, there have been no hue and cry in regards to improving this scenario. One needs a good 1 hour to travel just a mere distance of 4-5 kms. I mean, seriously what is going on in Mumbai?! Why aren’t the educated and powerful sections making no moves to solve this?

A regular person's life means nothing. It's like we're living in two different Indias!

For the rich and powerful, laws are just suggestions. They break rules left and right and nothing happens. Money and power gives them "get out of jail free" card!

Our lives are cheap. Workers die in accidents, and companies pay a few lakhs as if that makes it okay. Farmers kill themselves, and politicians only care about them during elections.

The system is rigged. Police, courts, government - all bend over backwards for the rich. But for us? "Rules are rules," they say.

Not really sure if this is the right place to put this up but I wanted to take it out somewhere. I happened to be in a road rage recently. There was this Rapido/Uber biker who was driving rashly. I had seen him but didn’t bother and I was going my way. Suddenly, he overtook me from left and his handle hit on my bike handle. I shouted in panic and he was saying some random shit looking at me - You need to watch out, bro.. something like that.
I was safe and don’t think even the bike had any damage but I lost my calm and wanted to kind of scold him for how he was riding. I followed him driving rashly again for about 500m and caught up and shouted at him saying - bhai shanti se chala or nahi chalana aata hai toh kyun chala rhe ho. And I realised I was about to head on hit an auto wala but braked on time. That auto wala started giving me hand gestures. He was right. I did drive rash.

In the meanwhile, that biker guy went crazy. He got off his bike, took his helmet and signalled at hitting me. The auto wala was standing beside me and he asked what was happening. I said this guy hit my bike and tried to run away. The biker was speaking some rubbish something like - I warned you there also bro.. I went a little numb and didn’t figure what was happening. This guy hit me with his hand on my helmet. I didn’t get hurt but felt the blow. I tried saying something but nothing came out. He hit me again the same way. The auto wala tried to stop him. He kept abusing and then left. I was numb for a few mins. Left from there and reached home safe. 

I am just not able to get these thoughts off my head. The incident keeps flashing. I feel lucky to not have removed my helmet, tried to hit him back because I don’t know what that could have led to. It was clearly my mistake that I lost my calm and followed him in the first place knowing he was a rapido biker. I don’t know why I did that - may be work stress or may be some other trauma. I have been bullied at times in my childhood when I

Have you faced or have been a victim of road rage recently ? 
My Instagram is filled with posts about road rage all over BLR , it’s making me slightly nervous about driving around.

Road rage

Product Manager

Just visited Mumbai last weekend, it has somehow gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Every 3rd or 4th road is either under construction or unusable. 

This girl from bumble legit defended Mumbai being safer than other metros literally after an illegal billboard fell on innocent people.

The "spirit of Mumbai" is Stockholm syndrome, most of the victims/residents just don't know it or have grown numb to it.

Every year people die on local train tracks and platforms, no one cares enough to do anything concrete about it.

Mumbai and Bangalore are both spiralling towards being borderline unliveable. Delhi NCR too to an extent. But the unfortunate reality is that they are economic hubs, hence people are forced to work there.

Decentralisation is the need of the hour, tier 2 and 3 cities must prepare themselves for reverse migration in the next few decades. I'm planning the same for myself if all goes well. It's not worth slowly dying in poisoned cities.

Yeah. Shifted to Hyderabad with my new 2 wheeler. And guess what 2 times got into accidents. I don't really understand if i am a bad driver or is it the other guy..

Incident 1. 
Was on 2nd lane and had to make a turn to other side of road. But my judgement told me that i won't be able to because of traffic. So i decided to move to 3rd lane and stop. And when there was only a single bike far away in 1st lane near to 2nd lane. Was doing a sort of 45 degree, and the single bike with 2 ppl hit my scooty near foot rest in the 2nd lane. I fucking don't know how. Yeah i had given indicator.


Incident 2.
After a traffic check point was on 2nd lane mid. A car suddenly shifted from 1 st lane to 2nd lane with indicator and nearly his tail hitting my front. Dodged and got shifted to 3rd lane. Now the indicator off and the guy suddenly shifted to 3rd lane and braked. Boom my scooty hits his back. There was a tata car behind my back horned. I couldn't even recall when he stopped. It was so sudden and the driver was looking to left as if he don't know where be is headed..

Just can't understand whats wrong with me or the ppl are such bad drivers.

Pls comment your view.

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido.

I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" 
I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this.

Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops.

Have you faced such things in this city?

Why do people take advantage of you in Bangalore?

Uber guys also not getting Uber. 
 Such is reality 😪

Bangalore traffic is a great leveller. It never discriminates anyone on the basis of CTC

Not related to these guys, does Mumbai have traffic?

- Young boys of Juhu, Bandra, Versova all look like Aryan Khan and Vedang Raina (Archies starcast), like everyone is an actor here or what?
- The traffic isn't shitty, the drivers are. They are coming at you from everywhere, left right front. If you can drive here, you are good for anywhere tbh
- Only 1% of the Two wheelers drivers wear helmet. No fear of traffic cops if not for life?
- The roads man, the roads. Never appreciated Delhi/Gurgaon more than seeing such tiny roads across the country 
- The pay disparity is on the face! Posh areas with tall buildings are lined with small houses - tarpaulin roof, bare walls but AC units
- The family bond is very evident - families watching TVs together with windows open (why don't they draw curtains tbh?) or be it on beaches over the weekend. It's cute nonetheless ❤️ 
- The safety is crazy (in a very good way). I was out at 10pm last night, and my mind was panicking like shit. But looks like, be it 10 am or 10pm, it is BAU for the city
- Have you seen the traffic signals? Apart from the usual, they have four tubelights in perpendicular. Just cannot jump lights now!
- Metro has 4 coaches 😆 

- The Sea heals parts of your soul you didn’t even know were broken 🥺

I'll add more 🫣

- The event will feature international and Indian VIPs, including celebrities and business elites.
- Pre-wedding celebrations included performances by Justin Bieber and Rihanna, and a luxury European cruise.
- Social media is buzzing with complaints from locals about the disruption and special treatment.
