DashCam Stories - The wrong siders

Its usual to see wrong siders riding on busy highway. Here is one which I captured near Kunigal while driving towards hometown. These bike riders don't even wear helmet and speeding in wrong-side of flyovers! This has become norm that if you loose path, take the wrong side route instead of taking next legal deviation. The problem is they speed even in wrong side. Even authorities cant do anything since they have political powers. We tax payers have no value in such cases. We pay road taxes, abide rules, pay tolls still any mishaps are counted as our fault :-(. Such incidents even though committed by wrong side drivers, ends up in blaming the larger vehicles by imposing false complaints of over speeding. To make situation worst, the affected parties demand hefty compensation even though its their mistake. Sometimes they mutilate vehicle throwing all legalities to air. Hence every private car owner now fits vehicle with dashcam to show some proof when needed. 


The solution is to drive smoothly but to what extent. Who expects that places like fly-overs will have wrong siders? If it was intersection or designated deviation, its safe to assume that there are brusque turners. In case of flyovers like the one I encountered, there is not even buffer space to maneuver the vehicle to safe area in case of head on. Only god can save us since cops also are also are in favor of locals :-(.
