[Resolved]  Haryana Roadways — Accident caused by haryana roadways bus

Address:

Chandigarh, Punjab

On 22 november 2014 at about 1545 hours i was travelling in my jeep from panchkula to kalka. Just short of the himalayan express highway toll plaza at chandimandir a haryana roadways bus no. Hr 3 s 3108 going from delhi to shimla, which was being driven rashly at high speed, overtook my vehicle from the wrong side and hit my jeep on the co - driver side. My vehicle was jolted by the sudden impact but i somehow managed to control it. The driver of the bus did not bother to stop or pay any attention. He sped away towards the toll plaza. Since i am a tag user i cleared the toll plaza before him and waited for him on the other side. I managed to stop him and confronted him on the accident he had caused. He showed ignorance. But when i showed him my damaged jeep, he said it was minor and offered me rs 100 ( one hundred only) as damages. When i told him that the damage was much more he called the bus passengers to pressurise me that since they were getting late i should let the matter rest. Since i was alone and did not want the passengers to be harassed i let him go scot free, but with a promise that i would complain against him. I wish to bring the following to your kind notice - (1) the concerned rash, negligent and misbehaved driver should not be driving a vehicle where he can risk the lives of so many passengers and commuters on the road. (2) he should be taught some basic courtesy and manners. (3) he should pay for the damage he has caused to my vehicle ( incidently i spent rs 3000 ( three thousand only) to get my vehicle repaired. I have approached this forum to get justice and to highlight the attitude of this particular driver as also the risk he poses to others on the road. I am sure your kind self would like to correct the wrong. Otherwise god save this country and its people.
