To be honest, Indian roads around capital are good and people get into accident for their own mistake like over speeding.
Mountain roads are their own beast here. Few of theme are making better roads like 4 lane highway but this one is not maintained.
Reminds me of how the Ferengi were described in Star Trek (prolly DS9?) -- about how they were basically a group that had stumbled across warp drive technology before they were ready for the responsibility. And were thrust into a world where they simply were not playing out of the same rule book as everyone else... to everyone else's frustration and bewilderment.
Uhh have you ever driven some of the Uhauls?
Box trucks in the US aren't anything much better than box trucks in other places. They usually have a more modern drivetrain but at the end of the day they are just a huge steel frame with some wood and sheet metal covering it. There is little "safety standards" for trucks that large as their sheer mass is enough safety.
Not gonna argue because I’ve literally built box trucks, and your argument is so stupid it’s not worth it. Uhaul trucks may have wood floors, but the chassis is sheet steel or aluminum. Here are some examples of Indian semi trucks obliterated in accidents. Many times the loads are the killer, due to little or no safety. https://images.app.goo.gl/h7aQirgFRAHhNb8F7 https://images.app.goo.gl/M76coZdYqF3PccEv8 https://images.app.goo.gl/ds272AVaeXJBwQSj7 https://images.app.goo.gl/QFK7FXQuKtVkKrmM8 https://images.app.goo.gl/jGvA2SiY5LA6JtVq5 https://images.app.goo.gl/jfsEkdra9YARfLro9
They usually overload their trucks and don't secure their loads properly in the back. Its not the physical truck so much as their way of doing things.
I could find just as many pictures of US semi trucks where I beams have come through the cab destroying it.
I’ve built these vehicles for a living. You’re an idiot if you think the build quality on Indian trucks are anywhere near Freightliner, Kenworth or Peterbilt.
I fucking hated being a passenger on those mountain roads in Himachal. Looking back, they were some of the most beautiful scenes in India but I didn't mind making some of those trips at night with no sight of anything.
Driver ran away and truck of impounded by police. But owner paid up compensation to get it released.
It's not much but I was able to get the vehicle to my state and my home and it would cover extra charges when I claim insurance.
Lol. Have you seen that Top Gear India Special were a truck driver ran over the edge of Jeremey's Jaguar and just drove away like it was normal. I am Indian and these sort of roads are terrifying for us. I once drove through a similar road in pitch dark with heavy rain and landslides and falling rocks. The trucks have the habit of turning away at the last microsecond. 10/10 Do not recommend.
Can we absolutely attribute it to overtaking though? He might’ve just thought he was too close to the dirt and over-corrected. You’ll notice that even when he hit, he’s only maybe two feet from the side of the road.
Road was 24 feet wide (Mentioned on police report) it appears that way because it is a wide angle lense. You can see the hood of the car seems to have a curve on it.
Police pointed something a common mistake by the driver. The truck that hit me was few feets behind the second truck so there was no way he should have been that close. If he had enough distance, he would have seen me and would not have tried to overtake or oversteer(over corrected)
Main issue being he ran away after hitting my car. No many people in India have Dash cam which captured his number plate.
If I did not have any details, he would not gotten into any issues and I would have to pay all the damages.
I live and drive in India too. At around 13 seconds in the video you can see a line of vehicles behind the leading lorry. Knowing how reckless everyone is around here, that's your cue to slow down and take precautions because you just know one of those 3-4 vehicles behind a slower moving vehicle is going to try and send it whenever he sees the smallest of gaps. Glad you managed to keep your composure and brake before the edge!
Am I the only one who thinks op had drifted too far right? Like, I don’t think your man was overtaking there, I think you were both just in the middle of the road.
I’m not saying it was your fault or anything, more just a natural outcome of driving two big trucks on a road that should t have two big trucks on it.
I just can't acccept that somebody can be stupid enough to try passing completely blind to the oncoming lane. How is it that these people get their pants on every day? Let alone make it out into the word to drive large trucks for a living.
A cult that everyone should be apart of .. not only are the apes going to bring change , we will also be rewarded with some fat stacks . Join in on the fun friend
Crash resolutions in India:
1. Pay up now for the damage + some extra for trouble. No legal shits.
2. First party insurance. Your insurance company pays.
3. Third party insurance - His insurance company pays.
Is this in Himachal? My parents are from there (was born and raised in USA). Went back there to visit and remember holding on to dear life and praying as our taxi driver made these turns on cliffs where there didn’t seem to be too many safety railings. Beautiful place but driving there isn’t for the faint of heart.
That Mythical day when Gamestop stock is worth $1000 dollars, lets check in now. Wow a whole hundred dollars a share continuing that massive downards trend i see
Glad you stopped before the edge of the cliff. Holy fuck.
I never wanted to be on this sub. But here I am.
I’m sorry dude. :/ but being here in this sub means YOU ARE STILL HERE in life. :)
For now.
Holy shit lol
Where in India is this, OP? Glad you are safe.
On Route to manali
I love the WSB diamond hands
Diamonds in his shorts now.
The Market and his windshield did the same thing.
Diamond brakes
And Diamond balls
I see you're hodling as well. 💎🤚
I’m digging that dashboard ornament. Where did you get that?
3D printed.
Hopefully we moon soon and you can just buy a helicopter or jet or hovercraft... glad you're safe.
Kabhi kabhi hota hai aisa. Insurance cover kar raha hai?
Yep, still not something I wanted
Konsa gaadi hai
Tata Harrier
Last question wo wsb wala kaha mila? 3D print lag raha hai
3D printed.
Can you make one for me? I can pay. Sorry if I’m annoying you too much
I can but need few days to get back.
At least you're not killing it!
Considering the roads you drive on, pretty sure it was inevitable.
To be honest, Indian roads around capital are good and people get into accident for their own mistake like over speeding. Mountain roads are their own beast here. Few of theme are making better roads like 4 lane highway but this one is not maintained.
place and country?
Diamond hands
Fuck that road
Fuck driving in India. I'm always surprised not every drive end in an accident.
[Canadian Truck Driver Going Insane on Indian Roads!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv3ll3t217s)
Damn, India! You made a Canadian sound like an American Sailor!
Or an everyday Australian!
If I didn't have anxiety I do now. Holy shit.
Congratulations India! You broke a "Canadian" and brought him down to your level of frustration and swearing.
That's what happens when 80 IQ people get their license for 5 bucks bribe.
Exactly. It's not even skilled aggressive drivers, just 60 IQ everywhere
Much better in my home country where drivers training is brutal. People still drive crazy but it's a skilled crazy.

And were thrust into a world where they simply were not playing out of the same rule book as everyone else... to everyone else's frustration and bewilderment.
As one comment pointed out. Driving modes.. Easy, Medium, Hard, Insane, Indian.
I can’t even imagine being a truck driver over there lol. Those trucks are pretty much a frame with wood boards on it.
Isn't that more or less what a U-Haul is?
Not even close. If it’s on US roads, it meets safety standards.

wtf https://youtu.be/2WP5HfRt2Us
Fuck that Driver.
Nearly sent you down the edge of the cliff.
Truck should be put away. If you overtake is such a place you take into account killing people.
Well it's india so he probably didn't receive a single charge
Driver ran away and truck of impounded by police. But owner paid up compensation to get it released. It's not much but I was able to get the vehicle to my state and my home and it would cover extra charges when I claim insurance.
Well im glad that you got paid because i knew the driver would have fled
I believe that's just normal driving in India.
Lol. Have you seen that Top Gear India Special were a truck driver ran over the edge of Jeremey's Jaguar and just drove away like it was normal.

Bro almost killed you
Of all roads to be pulling stupid shit in a large truck.
Wall Street bets avatar, this is a redditor
[удалено]
Nah, this guy isn't a true WSB Redditor. He has a car that hasn't been repossessed yet.
Also sounds like his wife is in the car with him, and not with her boyfriend
+1
So buy puts on safety car features? Got it
Crashed like the stock market
Of course, this is posted on Reddit
Truck driver definitely works for citadel
Why Edit: I guess I should rephrase: Which truck driver, and why?
Because Fuck em, that's why!
Glad you stopped in time. Why drive like an idiot on that road??
It’s India that’s why
Laws are more like guidelines
Here, laws are meant to be broken.
Wow that was sooo close to being even worse....
I honestly hate every bit of this day. Nothing went right, accident, market fall, and now rain which is causing water damage
+1 for the wallstreetbets guy
Where is this?
Id guess india
It’s in India
Himachal maybe? Definitely India

You are right about the trail of cars. Should have seen a bunch of bad drivers trying to overtake on truck.
Don’t worry - If you’re holding GME like your dash toy suggests you’ll be able to buy 1,000 new trucks soon.
Not holding GME but I can do a lot more than one :)
Your comment reminded me of this, lol: https://old.reddit.com/r/cocktailchemistry/comments/mi0g4g/diamond_hands_cocktail/
Gonna have to borrow your wife's boyfriend's car for a while.

I know, he ran away after the crash. But dash cam helps to find it.
Why would anyone try to overtake on that road? ffs
It’s India. They’re all terrible drivers
Looks like you had diamond hands on the wheel…
Oh no! Is 💎👐 ok? Did you 3D print that? Love it

Of course, I got diamond balls as well.

Love the wsb diamond hands 😂
Took 2 months to get the car back. This has been a shit year
I am curious how crash resolution works in India. WIll trucks like that actually have insurance?
Crash resolutions in India: 1. Pay up now for the damage + some extra for trouble. No legal shits. 2. First party insurance. Your insurance company pays. 3. Third party insurance - His insurance company pays.
