It can happen anytime with anyone. Though so far I am having good luck as I have never face anything like this so far. Even I face flat tire some times I normally find the help very quickly and near by. So I guess I am lucky in this case. But hope this luck will keep on riding.

I have not experience more of it, but I have experienced it once in the past. It was over night driving journey and there was heavy traffic on the highway. After getting information we came to know that there was accident happened few km ahead. We have to spend whole night on the highway to clear th...

We are usually invited for a road trip by my brother-in-law, as short as 2 hours and as long as 10 hours. But sometimes I decline to go because of the bad roads. Most rural areas here have no good roads to speak of and that is a turn off for a road tripper. I am caring for my car so much that I don...

I guess I having totally opposite thing from you. I rarely drive alone. Most of the time when I am driving I am with my family. As we use to go anywhere together. I wonder where you go alone by driving. Driving alone is kind of boring thing for me. But yes it is depend on person.

So I won't mind. I don'...

I agree with most of you here. People have lost the sense of respect for others and if you tell them to move they feel as if you are at fault. It is extremely dangerous to park car on hilly areas or those with valleys or cliffs. You never know on such narrow and hairpin turns who shall knock you. I...
