Himachal Road Transport Corporation [HRTC] — Complaint of bus driver

Address:

176047

Dear Sir/Mam I just want to bring this issue of reckless driving by one of the HRTC bus driver on bus number-HP663485 from Pathankot to Kullu route. This incident took place on 29th December 10:15 am when i was traveling with my wife and newborn baby to Palampur in my car. I was being honked by this driver so many time as i was driving slow because of baby on board. I gave him pass and let him go as he was rushing and in a hurry. Later on he was again behind our car as he was stopping and dropping the passenger. This time again he honked knowingly that their is a baby in the car next to him. He tried to overtake my car on a narrow road when there was a turn and vehicle coming from opposite side. I have to take my car off the road to save my family and car. I was scared and annoyed too. I overtook and parked my car any went to talk to him that the way he is driving can lead to an accident or incident, but it was in vain as he was never ready to accept that he was in fault. I never wanted to argue as i was with family and was going to hospital for checkup however he yelled at the top of his lungs and was accompanied by co-pilot and few passengers so it became a controversy and they were all ready to hurt me and my family. It gave the driver a wrong sort of motivation and he jumped out of his seat and challenged me for a fist fight instead of accepting his mistake. I just wanted to make him realise that he doesn't have the right to jeopardize the safety of the fellow riders and their families and also he can not drop off the passenger Wherever he wants instead of the designated bus stops as it causes inconvenience to others and also poses a threat to those who are getting off the bus. Rules are meant to be followed but this guy has already humiliated the system and when somebody raised their voice against it all he had to offer was A FIGHT endangering me and my family. I would request you to take strict action against him. Hope that you would ensure that your drivers drive the bus carefully & responsibly and not like a racetrack. I would also want to know that what action has been taken against him. Waiting for a swift revert. Thanks. Rohan Verma
