You are liable for your own safety

When you are on Indian roads, people generally have a tendency - The other will stop for me. Indian specially  are big risk takers when on road. Remember when on road, you are liable for your own safety. You need to constantly be aware of  traffic - driver psychology and vehicular/ road condition and take proactive steps.
Check this truck out in below pic on bangalore roads (Varthur road) .

With knife like pointed rods coming out of the truck. If traffic behind it is not careful of length of rods judgement. They may bump into these. It is not easy to make out the length of these rods at first. And what if you are changing lanes .....!!


These days the safe distance between two vehicles has reduced from feets to inches. Days are not far when safe distance would be in millimeters.

So don't speed, Your estimate for safe braking distance, may turn out to be incoorect !!

Is Bangalore traffic police  imposing a heavy fine/punishment - I don't think so. A total of 7536 cases of 'carrying length material' amounting to Rs-753600. That makes it Rs 100 fine. That's It !!! for creating such unsafe road for others.
