Whenever on the road, always remain High On Cognition, which tantamounts to saying, always Expect The Unexpected. 

Acts of stupidity will NOT earn you awards/ rewards.

Sonu Singham steering a Volvo bus in HP with total ease

The gentleman who is widely recognized by the name of Sonu Singham on social media drives a mighty Volvo bus mainly in the Delhi to Bir Billing (HP) route. 

Watch how he steers the bus with absolute ease and maturity on winding roads in the hills of North India, viz. Himachal Pradesh. 

Although I have not met him in person, nevertheless, he appears to be a driver who's always High On Cognition. 

His Art And Science Of Driving is a perfect lesson in Fine Driving Gyanology.

Remaining 'High On Cognition' is the thin line between 'life' and 'getting maimed' (or worse still, death)

It's not without reason that 8 yrs ago in May 2013 when Indian Roadie was born, the positioning tagline from Day 1 has been 'High On Cognition'. 

It's not a fancy phrase. I spoke to at least 20 odd senior marketing professionals spread over 12 - 15 days and all unanimously said that the tagline was apt and crisp. 

It's only the 'cognitive powers/ abilities' of the driver and even the co-passengers to a great extent that more often than not is the thin line between 'life' and 'getting maimed' (or worse still, death) ☹️

Hair raising chase from the movie 'DUEL' which was released in 1971

Imagine yourself being chased and banged by a huge truck while driving alone or with your spouse and children in some totally alien road in India.
Hold your hand to your heart and tell us if you are really #HighOnCognition.

Overtaking at blind turns can be fatal

Sometime in November 2019, our fellow Indian Roadie, Sumit Suvarna saved himself by managing to brake and stop his car just in time.
The possibilities of what could have happened were many.
A) The oncoming Maruti Ciaz being driven recklessly at high speed could have been crushed by the rear wheels of the truck it was trying to overtake at a blind turn.
B) The Ciaz could have crashed head on into our friends car.
C) The Ciaz could have grazed the sides of the truck, panicked and then run into our friends car.
D) Etc, etc, etc.

Therefore, while driving remain extremely alert and be 'High On Cognition'.

Faulty airbags in Hyundai i20 did not activate even after severe crash on 2017-02-07

" On 7th February 2017 my brother met with a major accident in Noida at 60km/hr after ramming into a truck.

Impact was such that the roof of the car got dismantled after a left side collision.

The car was an Hyundai i20 Sportz 2013 model having 2 airbags in front.
After the crash none of the airbags got activated. If the airbags functioned properly, it could have saved my brother from a head injury and a critical condition he is currently in.

What I want is:

1 proper explanation for failure of airbags in the Hyundai i20.
2 immediate redressal and compensation.

I believed that Hyundai was a step ahead in terms of safety and features in this segment.
My trust has been lost.

Regards,
Owner of 2 Hyundai cars "

P.S: The content has been copied from a post on the Facebook timeline of Hyundai India by Parth Gupta on 2017-02-07.

Attention of Takata Corporation, the manufacturers of the airbags in Hyundai cars has also been drawn.

Airbags not opening up after a collision of this nature can't be justified at all.
Hyundai India should remain with the family of the victim during such distressing times.
Advisory to Indian Roadie fans/ members:
- Say a 'No To Road Rage'.
- While on the road, remain 'High On Cognition'.
