So we did an April Fools prank stating there will be a bridge between Bombay and Dubai. We even made up a govt agency - BHAI - Bi-Country Highway Association of India. Some media outlets have actually covered it as actual news. And I’m dying laughing.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes of course, blame the car driver for a bike falling right in front of him. And if that’s the definition of ‘speeding’, god save us all. Literal shit levels of journalism right here folks - slow claps, slow claps!

June 18, 2024 – In a tragic accident near the golf course, Pune, Kedar Chavan, a 41-year-old courier driver, lost his life after being hit by a speeding Mercedes Benz linked to the Serum Institute of India.
Shame on

for being such a stuck up sport and not letting a mass market brand like

not have broadcasting rights for India. Now that F1 is finally popular in India, it’s suddenly ‘pay per view’ .. disgusting. Forcing fans to pay isn’t the way.
This just seems fishy! Modern cars don’t break down just because they are stuck in a traffic jam. Now, I wasn’t there so I can’t really confirm but this looks like someone went to people and said ‘open your bonnet to cool your car down.’

Absolutely zero basic common sense in these folk driving down the MTHL(Atal Setu). And see how the number plate is covered with stickers. Shameless!

There is a massive scam happening in BKC where MMRDA representatives are going around and clamping cars without authority and charging people ₹300 for removing the clamps. We have approached the BKC police station on Wednesday night but there has been no response since.. 1/2
IMPORTANT AND POSSIBLY LIFE THREATENING!! This has happened on the Vashi Creek Bridge. And I’m told this isn’t the first time in the last few days that this has happened! Guaranteed accident if you hit it at any sort of moderate speed!

We often see bikes break signals in the suburbs. But now see this - whole giant BEST bus goes through like he owns the road. This wasn’t the norm a few years ago! And it needs to stop!

Reminds me these pictures I found on Dad's old hard disk. This is the original team behind the Thar. Pics were taken at the Deolali Fire Temple and the car is one of the first three test prototypes if I remember correctly.

Imagine how lawless a society we are when clowns like this get away with impunity. No front either. And no, it wasn’t a brand new car. Also, the guy was driving like an absolute lunatic and almost wrecked the car twice. Shocking that the cops at the toll did NOTHING!
Tch tch tch! Caught in the act going the wrong way. Got annoyed. Turned around of course. And then showed typical

what is this sir? 🤦🏻♂️
What’s the most absurd answer you’ve ever got when you’ve asked a cop for why he doesn’t have a helmet on? This one pointed to his cap and said ‘topi pehna hai to chalta hai’ or ‘if I’ve work the cap it’s fine’.. No, it’s not fine! 😡
@RoadsOfMumbai
will like this one!!
Every single damn night, the cops shut down the Lalbaug flyover. What’s the point of having a flyover if people aren’t allowed to use it?! Instead you have to go through byculla and Lalbaug and it’s respective traffic. We need to know why

Because you get a million things to watch on Netflix. And here you’re seeing it for a total of about 75 hours in the whole year. That basically means you’re basically paying ₹40 an hour to watch this. Yes it’s not a BIG sum in the larger sense but in general, it’s thievery.

We demand to know what action has been taken against this person. I’m on my way to Sion traffic police station below Sion flyover in the next few mins to check. Please keep the action status handy.

It's unfortunate that Porsches often get damaged because people struggle to handle these powerful cars.
Additionally, the trends of alcohol consumption and clubbing among the newer generations contribute to this issue.
Adjusting club hours might help mitigate this problem,

Humbled by this. He must really be smiling down absolutely thrilled at the new Thar! He really really loved cars. And he loved pushing the limits. I bet he would have bought the convertible, painted it bright red and put 4 Hella driving lamps on the front. That was his vision! 😊

Leave India & struggle for basics like house help, groceries. Invest your salary in renting 150 sq ft studio apartment 1 hour away from workplace.
Do extra jobs & celebrate this hardships as ‘independence’

I still don’t understand why calling a recall, a recall, is such a bad thing. Recalls aren’t bad. People make mistakes. Automakers make mistakes. R&D and engineering departments so often make improvements over parts with issues. It’s a sign of proactive-ness. Not THAT difficult🤦🏻♂️
Mint with a hole! Cheap sensationalism and opportunism at its best.

Nope, this isn’t the 90s. This is still 2020. The mighty gypsy flanked by probably two of the nicest maintained and original maruti 800s of Bombay. If this doesn’t make you 😊, you aren’t a car guy! 😁
There is no sensitivity left in the world. At lunch about an hour ago at a famous Chinese place in Shivaji Park and on the table next to us come sit 4 people - 3 dudes and a lady. About 5 mins in, one of them decides to watch crappy reels at full volume. 1/n
Great move by Tata Motors. Gifting a new Tata Altroz to olympians who just narrowly missed out on a podium. These smaller things might help promote sport in general imo.

Have we forgotten the concept of signals in Mumbai? Standing near a signal in Shivaji Park and observing nearly 90% of all bikers blatantly go through a red like they couldn’t give a damn! Mass scale lawlessness!

What’s new? There is a reason every Bombayite dislikes the traffic police. THEY are the reason people don’t trust or like cops. Not the usual police. Who more often than not are polite and sensible individuals.

It’s disgusting to see BIG name sports personalities keep mum on this. And even more disgusting to see the so called government shush about it. How long before these wrestlers get booked by the CBI? Or have some tax raids? Or get killed in some fake encounter? Banana Republic.
Open secret in India that all athletes except cricketers are treated badly by the politicians who have grabbed sporting bodies. But, why are other athletes & even cricketers who earn billions not supporting the Olympian women wrestlers?
