Backpacking India On Road

How will you ease yourself from a car with stuck seatbelt?  Don't panic.  Pull the lever under the seat and slide the seat back to the maximum extent possible.  Recline the seat backwards.  Pull the seat belt from the B-pillar.  This will enable you to loosen the seat belt at the waist to such an extent that you can easily get your legs free.  Once your legs are free, you can evict your whole body out from the shackles of the seatbelt which at times of a crash actually saves you.  Just follow the simple steps shown in the accompanying video. Do a mock drill of the steps along with your regular passengers once in a while.  .  .  .  * Indian Roadie Knowledge Hub

The engine revs up and can't be stalled/ switched off. Dense white smoke from the exhaust fills the air. It can happen in passenger cars, too.  Why does this happen?  How does one switch off the engine?  What is the faulty issue termed as?  P.S: The incident actually happened in a diesel engine passenger bus somewhere in Kolkata in mid September 2024.  .  .  .  * Indian Roadie Knowledge Hub  * IndianRoadieKnowledgeHub_Technical  * Knowledge_Is_Power

Getting your car/ bike fully serviced for driving/ riding to Ladakh/ Arunachal Pradesh/ Sikkim is NOT enough. Even getting yourself fully checked for health issues is NOT enough.  Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can strike anyone. A well built physically fit gentleman in his early 40s who was on his 13th drive to Ladakh lost his life in September 2019 within 45 minutes after AMS struck him.  The accompanying video by Ashish Bhatia will get you goosebumps on seeing the aftermaths of lack of oxygen and variation in atmospheric pressure. Do not take the dangers of AMS lightly.  This post is for enchutiasts who meet fellow roadies after remaining in matured road travel and automobiles forums like Indian Roadie for a couple of months or years and decide to get into adventure mode (all on their own) with the express belief that help will be at beck and call should the need arise.  In the event of extreme exigencies, it's not internet or AI that will save your life. It's phys...

Reporter Nibha Singh sought explanation from a lady Bihar Police officer on highway Patrol duty she spotted on the highway in Jamui, Bihar in a Mahindra Bolero without registration number plates in front and rear.  A couple of more police vehicles without number plates with signage of Bihar Police Jamui were supposedly spotted.  Locals said that these police vehicles flouting rules are a regular feature for years in the area.  This video is dated 2024-06-22.  As expected, the lady officer started fumbling and arrogantly asked the reporter to stop video recording her.  With such arrogance and flouting of rules by the law enforcers, common citizens will obviously try to break rules, too.  With these or similar issues frequently coming to light in almost all over India, I as the founder of Indian Roadie (and associated forums) had rolled out PAIR-MT on 2023-01-18, an initiative to build 'mutual trust' (MT) between Police And Indian Roadie (PAIR) so that stakeh...
