    Based on context and the mention of a rider, I think this was a motorcycle accident.

    Having been to Bengaluru (or Bengalore as is more common in English), the roads do suck, a lot.

    The bigger problem for this community (IMO), though, is the general absence of sidewalks. I tried walking to a restaurant ~1km from my hotel and needed to walk on the road the whole time, dodging cars and motorcycles (and those three wheeled things that are like cars).

    Don’t worry,

    You forgot the part where they blame you all the time for hogging the road and slow down the traffic.

    Does anyone else’s instsnce’s image proxy keep showing these kinds of errors?

    Y’know we could have had human innovated spaceships for everyone since (at least) the 1930s, right?

    Can we go back to the Sonora Aero Club tech arc? No? Oh right. Capitalist protectionism, eliminating the competition, to preserve their rents and maximised wealth extraction. :/

    First they force you into using the roads,
    then they force everyone even those who don’t drive to pay for maintenance,
    then you die.

    Yeah I’m sure they’d have a subway here and not some garbage path to get robbed on 👌👍🤣. A nice clean well lit concrete sidewalk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

      Hey so, you know this isn’t Reddit, right? You seem super keen on collecting those pretty orange arrows and I’m sorry to tell you that orange arrows are downvotes, not upvotes. It doesn’t work like that around these parts.
