Man eaters of Kerala ...


Just imagine you are riding a bike on a lonely road .you see not far away there is a 90 degree turn... haaa ..not at all scary untill you notice that from the other side a city bus travelling at 60-70 is coming and takes the turn with you at full speed ....yeah saying that the bus drivers are rash here will be an understatement ..they dont have the manners to drive and they dont give a damn to whatever happens to whatsoever. Again imagine a bus going at 60 and you are also happily driving behind the bus ..the road is empty except for a few people standing on the side of the road waiting for a bus and baaaaaaaang the bus hits the break and comes to a halt ... the driver never gave you a chance to think and only option left is either bang or go off the road .. who cares atleast not the drivers and that is why i said the drivers here are not rash they are manners less. When you are on the road technically there can be teo situations ... either you are infront of the bus or yo are following the bus ..its difficult to decide which one is more dangerous ..the best part is when these buses overtake they never care to see if their is any vehicle coming from opposite direction as if its the moral duty of the other vehicle driver to go off the road... whenever a bus passes by you at full 60 - 70 speed you feel closer to heaven or hell ( whichever yo want to choose) and may be thats why it is known as God's own country .. you are so near to the God !! ..The most interesting part is that behind each of these buses you will find written " Maximum city speedlimit 35km/h.Do not overtake" First part is fine but what the hell is the second part for .Are all the vehicle supposed to follow these buses at 35km/h . No , you dont need to worry because they never drive at that low speed . They will drive faster on a busy road then you can think of driving on an empty road .. No wonder whenever i go to city i surely find one accident ... May God or any powerfull human ( read Mayor or MLA ) teach some manners to these drivers ..
