Dear Sir,
On the onset I hope that the compalint gets heard.
The incident involves Haryana Roadways Bus No- HR 68 - 4373 being driven by some Singh Sahab. The place was Kharar.
I am listing below step by step the sequence of events involving the above said vehicle and my Car.
1. The location was Kharar bus stand. The traffic was moving towards Mohali. Few buses had stopped and passengers were alighting from these buses. The trafic was moving at not more than 0-2 kms speed.
2. Because of the buses offloading passengers, two lanes were formed moving at almost 0 speed.
3. Infront of my car, 3-4 cars and one bus passed these standing buses by moving right of them. The lane on the right side had stopped moving. When I took my turn to move right of these standing buses giving proper indiacator, the above bus driver ( SIngh Sahab) also started moving and brushed my car on the right side at the back side.
4. I confronted the driver and asked him to see what he is doing and should be careful.
5. That was it, he got down from the bus and started saying :
a) If you fear these things you should not bring your car on the road.
b) My Car door was open, he rushed forward and slammed the door shut, saying go away.
c) I told him that he should feel sorry for this as his vehicle is behind my vehicle and he should be careful driving.
d) He then started pushing me and used abusive language saying do whatever you feel like and get a side. He also started to get physical with me and it was only the conductor who asked him not to do so that he stopped starting a fight.
e) Then he said that the passengers are getting late, it was only therefore he was rushing.
f) Then he said the vehicle was not visible to him and started to make all the excuses. The abusive language continued.
g) At this moment, I decided to leave as I did not want this altercation to go further fearing that he may again start getting physical.
Dear Sir,
My concern is that, are we allowing such kind of persons to drive on the road who are short of patience and safety is last on their mind.
They are their providing their services of ferrying passengers safely from one destination to the other. But this Sikh gentlemen looked otherwise.
Instead of feeling sorry he looked confident that since he was driving a govt. vehicle and that too a bus he could do anything and get away with it.
I now look forward to you to set an example that nobody is above law and everyone has to abide safety measures when on the road.
Looking forward to your support.
