@motordave2 @DriveSmart_IN @dabir Most of those drive vehicles how to take proper right or left turn... Has this innova was about to take left turn at this junction, it would have been head-on collision

Aizawl, Mizoram 🚨⚠️ Follows best of: 1. Road & Lane Disciplines 2. No Honking + Low Beams 3. Civic Sense Followed by Meghalaya & Nagaland next threads… @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @skr77s @InfraEye @sss3amitg VC @caleb_friesen

@3rdEyeDude Was he driving in wrong direction after fleeing that spot ? Whatever it is he either took wild right turn/ U turn after incident...

ZERO Civic Sense! Scooter rider on Phone Blocks Road & Starts Argument 😡 Location: HSR Layout, Bengaluru

@tamiltalkies @DriveSmart_IN @motordave2 looks we are nearing a breaking point

கோழிக்கோடு, கேரளா. நடைபாதையில் வண்டி ஓட்டிய முட்டாளை.. நகர விடாமல் தடுத்து.. சாலைக்கு திருப்பி விட்ட பெண்மணி. x.com/i/status/20219…

@RCBengaluru @motordave2 Extremely disturbing.. first biker appear to taking very long left turn.. unfortunate biker stops at middle of road anticipating the school bus to take a turn . Bus driver's turn is very poor.. had some ppl standing or a wall, he could hit that as well...

@motordave2 This video is more clear Rider approached junction, stopped upon seeing bus Bus driver intoxicated, distracted or on mobile?? Two young lives lost, family shattered 😞 Totally avoidable with little care

#Absolutely Disturbing 🚨⚠️ School Bus driver seems to be completely #distracted. Scooter at viewing angle and not at #blindspot. School Bus drivers need a check + hefty court fines for them who uses mobile phones while driving… Secondly, scooter rider no helmet, 2 year old on the scooter? Should had honked non-stop for the Bus Driver to stop…casual approach from both ends let go 2 little once… #Pay #attention while riding or driving…⚠️ @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @anil_lulla @RCBengaluru @uneaz @InfraEye

@motordave2 @skr77s @YSRhere He is listening to speech. And scooter appears from behind the auto.. blind spot?

@DriveSmart_IN It's cultural problem.. eg: in any other country queue at a counter would be 1. In India it will branch out into many from single queue. We are constantly trying to prove others on superiority. For civilized ppl, we look pathetic.

Why Indian Traffic Feels Cluttered 🤔😬 Anyone who has driven both in India and in many other countries immediately senses the difference. Indian traffic feels dense, noisy, stressful, and visually chaotic even when the number of vehicles on the road is not unusually high. In contrast, traffic in many other countries often appears calmer and more orderly, even at similar or higher volumes. This difference is mainly due to violation of a basic, universal traffic principle and that is a lane position is meant to be occupied by only one vehicle at a time. Most traffic laws around the world do not explicitly state, “Only one vehicle may occupy a lane position.” Instead, the rule is embedded indirectly through requirements such as lane discipline, maintaining following distance. Drivers are expected to remain within a single lane, avoid straddling lanes, and change lanes only when sufficient space exists without interfering with another vehicle. Overtaking is allowed only when it can be done safely and without encroaching on another vehicle’s space. This lane discipline is what creates predictability where drivers can use position,mirrors,and signals effectively. When a driver occupies a lane position, others can reliably expect where that vehicle will be in the next moment. This predictability allows traffic to flow smoothly, even at higher speeds. How Indian Traffic Breaks This Principle In Indian traffic, this exclusivity is routinely violated out of habit and systemic normalization. Instead of asking, “Is this lane position occupied?”, drivers often ask, “Is there a gap I can squeeze into?” This shift in thinking transforms lanes from exclusive spaces into shareable fragments. As a result, multiple vehicles cars, motorcycles, autos etc attempt to occupy overlapping portions of the same lane at the same time. A single lane becomes two and then three informal lanes, none of which are clearly defined or respected. Once this happens, the concept of a lane loses its meaning and when lane positions are no longer exclusive, traffic is not rule based any more and becomes negotiation based. Drivers must constantly make micro adjustments in steering, braking, and acceleration to accommodate vehicles approaching from diagonal angles or blind spots. Safety gaps, which are meant to provide reaction time and braking margin, are instantly filled by other vehicles. Following distance collapses to near zero. This leads to frequent braking, hesitation, and honking not because drivers are aggressive, but because predictability has vanished. Even when traffic volume is moderate, this constant spatial conflict creates the perception and reality of congestion. And small disturbances propagate backward as shockwaves, slowing everyone down. Once lane exclusivity is widely violated, following the rules becomes a disadvantage. A driver who maintains proper lane discipline and following distance is quickly boxed in by others who squeeze into available gaps. Over time, even well intentioned drivers adapt to survive. What begins as occasional rule breaking becomes the dominant mode of driving. This is not simply bad driving but it is a coordination failure. How it works in other countries In many other countries, the same roads would look dramatically different not because drivers are morally superior, but because space ownership is respected and reinforced. Cars stay within their lanes. Motorcycles and bicycles are either restricted to specific lanes or provided with protected infrastructure. Overtaking happens only where clear, unoccupied space exists. Gaps are treated as safety buffers, not invitations. Because every vehicle knows where it belongs, fewer decisions need to be negotiated in real time. The result is traffic that looks calm, even when it is dense. Why This Matters Until lane positions are treated as exclusive rather than negotiable, Indian traffic will continue to feel cluttered, regardless of how wide the roads become.

@RSGuy_India @dabir @shreemallatheru @TorqueIndia @VahanWarta @TataMotors_Cars I started to think if we had good science & maths teachers, these influencers will be jobless.. specific to this stund, already this has reputation of safety, but these tests undermine the sanity of potential buyers influenced by this

@dabir @shreemallatheru @TorqueIndia @VahanWarta @TataMotors_Cars Marketing works I guess... especially when you have SM influencers say whatever the brand wants without understanding the intricacies.

Crane lift ≠ Crash performance Static load demonstrations alone do not equate to comprehensive safety performance. @RSGuy_India @shreemallatheru @TorqueIndia @VahanWarta

@RSGuy_India @volklub @TataMotors_Cars True ... Head on collision with other vehicles mostly never happen with stationary vehicle. It's rear end /underride crash which happens with stationary vehicle. It's misleading

@volklub @TataMotors_Cars It's not a flex...it's a misleading advert that will get more people killed. Social media influencers should be mindful of what they are promoting.

That’s a unique flex of safety by Tata Punch 2026 👌

@motordave2 @DriveSmart_IN Reckless overtake and hit my car as he avoid pothole. Later he came chasing & recording. Told him to come to varthur police station, he ghosted. How to avoid such bikers?

@theliverdoc Continue your work doctor! It's increasingly difficult to convey how bad such influential clips in family circle.. Worried they could do more self harm with many more health influencers dumping cringe pro max and reasoning out them takes hours of talk..

Because I am a doctor, and a doctor means teacher, I have to correct health misinformation when I see it. Now dont take this as personal. I am educating my friends here for their own benefit. "Higher consumption of red meat is associated with colon cancer risk - this is proven beyond doubt" - is absolutely incorrect. Those who are interested in this topic, can read through. I have simplified a large database. See what the nutritional science says. And as a Gastroenterologist and self-proclaimed "Gut Expert", I expected you to know this. Lets talk medical science and evidence. 1️⃣A large Japanese study following 47,605 adults for 11 years found no meaningful link between eating meat and colorectal cancer concluding that their findings "do not support the idea that eating meat causes colorectal cancer" (Sato et al., 2006, Eur J Cancer Prev). 2️⃣A review of multiple Japanese studies found only weak, uncertain connections between eating the most red meat versus the least (1.16 times higher risk with a range of 1.00–1.34), describing this as "possibly" increased risk rather than clear proof (Pham et al., 2014, Jpn J Clin Oncol). 3️⃣A combined analysis of 24 long-term studies (covering over 13,000 colorectal cancer cases) found only small risk increases for red meat (around 1.10–1.18 times) with lots of variation between studies and weaker results when better adjusted - far from the strong, consistent evidence needed to claim causation is "proven beyond doubt" (Chan et al., 2011, PLOS One). 4️⃣In two major American studies tracking diet repeatedly over 20 years, fresh red meat showed no link with colorectal cancer overall (0.99 times risk per serving daily, range 0.87–1.13), and was actually associated with lower risk for part of the colon (Bernstein et al., 2015, PLOS One). 5️⃣The same research and other studies consistently show that any risk is much stronger for processed meat (like sausages and bacon) than for fresh red meat, so grouping them together makes unprocessed red meat look riskier than it actually is (Bernstein et al., 2015, PLOS One; Chan et al., 2011, PLOS One). 6️⃣A detailed review of long-term studies notes that results differ by meat type, which part of the colon, gender, and population, with some large studies finding no link at all - clear signs of uncertain, inconsistent evidence, not a settled case (Aykan, 2015, Oncology Reviews). 7️⃣A review of nutrition research found that most claims linking single foods to cancer show unrealistically large effects that shrink or disappear when all studies are combined, concluding that many diet-cancer claims are weak and overstated (Schoenfeld & Ioannidis, 2013, Am J Clin Nutr). 8️⃣The NutriRECS expert panel, after reviewing multiple systematic studies, judged the evidence linking red meat to cancer as low to very low quality and found only tiny risk differences (1–18 fewer cancer cases per 1000 people eating less meat), leading them to recommend that adults can continue eating red meat as they currently do. Most of these "high cancer risk" studies also had patients with other cancer risk - obesity, smoking, alcohol use and metabolic disorders (Johnston et al., 2019, Ann Intern Med). New studies: ▶️2022 prospective study from women showed the effect was dose-dependent and limited to very high intake (≈100 g/day!!!), which is far above what many people consume. (Yiannakou et al., 2022 TJN) ▶️The global 2023 cancer-incidence analysis was ecological design: it looks at population averages, not individual-level diet-disease links and hence subject to ecological fallacy - so not proven beyond doubt. (Ma and Qi, 2023, Foods) ▶️2024 meta-analysis found significant differences across cohorts and residual confounding concerns, meaning the risk estimates vary widely and cannot exclude bias. (Pouzou et al., 2024, AIN) ▶️The genetic-epidemiology 2024 study implicated genetic background as important, meaning meat intake alone isn’t deterministic and not everyone who eats red meat will get colorectal cancer. (Stern et al., 2024 CEBP) 🔟For Indian adults who eat red meat, a sensible approach based on evidence is: keep total cooked red meat at or below ~350–500 g per week (about 1–2 small 75–100 g portions), keep processed meats intake to zero or once weekly which aligns with both global cancer-prevention advice. So, higher consumption of red meat is associated with colon cancer risk is not proven beyond doubt. This is what is "Inclusive" nutritional education is, which is far better than "Exclusive" fearmongering nutritional education which Instagram is famous for.

@motordave2 Looks like we have reached the breaking point in randomness related to road accident. All 3 of these accidents in TN happened on 2 lane highways (state/national)

#Kalpakkam 🚨⚠️ Wet Surface + Speed + HeadON. 3rd incident within 2 days…

@motordave2 @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @InfraEye Somehow all Indians think they are superior being or superhuman than another and nothing will happen to them, others should give way for them on road. Be it they are driving 2/3/4 Wheeler or a pedestrian. What's the reason for this psychology?

#Vadodara–#Mum Expressway 🚨⚠️ #130kmph+, Seat Belts not in use…#Speedo Seat Belt WarningON 🤷‍♂️ Wear Seat Belts for better safety incl. passengers. One tyre burst enough for rollover crash. @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @InfraEye

@3rdEyeDude Isn't DC car also doing unnecessary overtake?

Another Thar reckless driver! At this time, do you need any more proof to stay away from Thar drivers to save yourselves?

@motordave2 @bngdistpol This disease has spread to tractors as well.. Rather than catching the vehicles, officials should act on sales point...

Thank you @bngdistpol Sir for taking swift actions against Mahindra Thar’s flashing LED’s…

@motordave2 Unrelated observation: ppl obsessed with 5 star safety rating should realize it's irrelevant in India due to so many variables. I mean whatever can go wrong on road, will go wrong (in India). It's final destination moment once we are on road, really scary.

@sssankar01 Check Jaipur incident - shared the footage now…again dumper

#WrongSideDriving 🚨⚠️ So, it’s all about 1 Dumper Drivers Careless attitude, let go 19 people… Wrong Side #HeadON with Bus…he must be a habitual offender… likewise, those who riding/driving on the #WrongSide inside City Limits or Highways could result many more similar incidents ahead… #DriveResponsibly

@svembu @adarpoonawalla @SerumInstIndia Could you please respond to this post? I think you manufacture HPV in India.

This is the news item dated Oct 17 2025 from Bihar. Translation from Hindi (Google Translate): "Saharsa: 30-35 female students fainted after receiving the HPV vaccine...They were admitted to Sadar Hospital...The District Magistrate declared the situation normal." Facts: 1. HPV is sexually transmitted. It does not transmit via regular contact or even hugging. 2. We are giving it to very young girls in India. 3. News from Tamil Nadu just 3 days ago: "Tamil Nadu Paves the Way for a Cancer-Free Future With Free HPV Vaccines" This is NOT a political issue. Please do NOT make this potlicial. Most states in India are doing it and our political leaders across the spectrum have been told that ever more vaccine shots are in the best interest of Indians. I do not blame the politicians because when someone like me can be shouted down so vocally, it would be political suicide for a politician (of any party) to talk about, particularly when the mainstream consensus is so strongly in favor of ever more vaccine shots. It does not help our business or my "image" to talk about this. Even my friends advise me not to talk about it because they are worried for my safety or my image. I have no hidden agenda here. I will state what I believe again: we are giving way too many vaccines to young children. This does NOT mean we should stop ALL vaccines. So let the critics not twist my words. Do not let the doctors who think I am science-illiterate shout this down. These voices must be heard.

@volklub Panel gaps are even wider in Amaze than city!

The City holds an edge over the Virtus/Slavia in overall mechanical reliability, ergonomics with physical touch buttons, and the quality of interior materials. However, it loses out on a few aspects such as: ✅ Panel gaps are slightly wider in multiple areas, the exterior build feel a bit flimsy compared to Europeans. ✅ Rear inner wheel arch cladding is only partial. ✅ With 185 mm width & 50 profile, the car looks slightly undertyred. ✅ In paint quality too, Europeans show less orange peel.

@motordave2 @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @lkrajkumar @arunpoochi @skr77s @reclaimchennai @uneaz @Lutapi_ Yes, wonder why govt department themselves don't comply with their order. During covid time, there was a crackdown on car bumpers in TN.

@sssankar01 @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @lkrajkumar @arunpoochi @skr77s @reclaimchennai @uneaz @Lutapi_ That TUV300 looks like rammed those cars…

Looks like accident pro-max? 🤷‍♂️ @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @lkrajkumar @arunpoochi @skr77s @reclaimchennai @uneaz @Lutapi_
