+Vishal Jawalkar Yes, its superb unless you are on the other end of the curve coming in opposite direction, that would be awesome. Moreover this bus is running without brake lights which is in violation of law.
+alfistasubbie Running without brake light and indicators is very common in ksrtc buses, and the way he overtook that SKS had become common because they have reach the destination in time
Karnataka sarige is better than any other buses of Karnataka because the way they drive bus looks like adventures and amazing especially in mountain range and one of the best public transport in India
That's a neat overtake, I travel on the Mysore - Trissur route by volvo, No doubt the drivers are skilled, it is a pleasure to watch them handle the Sathyamangalam ghats (Dimbam Ghats) Handling such long chassis is a task no wonder these beasts have huge power on tap. Good video , Thanks.
The driver clearly had visibility over the curve, so he made sure no vehicle is coming on the right, and then he took over. This is ok for experienced drivers. The Red bus driver is not stupid too, he drives in the maximum speed of 60 and hates even reducing 1 km in the speed.
For the people who comment like know-it-alls: You can't possibly know whether this was dangerous or not more than someone who was ACTUALLY there, who knows the kind of road this is and everything else that comes with it. So before commenting, read the description, THINK and then comment. Kindly do not waste your time, and mine. Peace! :)
nice! as thrilling as this can be, it is quite risky as well, experienced a similar overtake years ago, when a Pondy bound KSRTC Volvo , overtook my TNSTC express bus (Volvos were newly introduced on that route apparently), happened somewhere in a 2 lane territory, between Krishnagiri and Tiruvannamalai. Was unforgettable.
To hell with their "driving"skills. One small brush with an oncoming vehicle..one crazy pedestrian cutting across..one skid at the irregular sides of the road... you end up in deaths, irreversible damages, broken necks... what not Safety is the last thing in our people's priorities
I M KANNADIAN and in my state all are super riders best of now but in bus it was dangerous but who's taking this vedio he/she could have show speedometer in the vedio then people will get to know how speed bus going, but thx for you're vedio
What is Dangerous in this ?? Looks like he is a skilled driver. How is it different from what you did (that too by taking the video at the same time ? assumed you are driving ) ?
1. There is absolutely NO way you can conclude whether it was dangerous or not unless (a) you have driven on this route and/or (b) you saw this maneuver in person. 2. I'm a responsible videographer and road user. I'm not retarded enough to drive behind buses whilst holding a camera in hand at the same time. Also, kindly try to read the descriptions of videos and try to make sense of the context. We don't put up descriptions to decorate our videos.
Also, most of the people (who have put comment) is asking where is the dangerous thing in this video. Why are they asking that question ? Only wrong thing they have mentioned is no light, which is not mentioned in your description also.
Driver knows what he actually doing, and its their regular job on regular roads...so i didnt found anything dangerous in this...what i like is the scenic view 😅
Ksrtc gives good and daring training with expert trainer alongwith humanity and passengers responsibility to reach their safe destination.Hence to travel ksrtc buses only.
Usually bus drivers in dakshina kannada district looks like a ghosts on road if u travel from blore in any KA19,20,21 series buses ull feel it definately
he overtook that bus cleanly only. I am a routine traveler in VOLVO & Benz Multi Axle buses, due to their ;length and size they have to overtake bis buses in wide, or else the back side would touch the front of the other long vehicles. see for yourself how long vehicles overtake. don't blame the driver/drivers who driving safe.
I'm surprised with most comments lauding this as daring... There is nothing daring with racing on the road. It's foolishness. Think of having to loose someone you love the most to some daring driver...
Very true. But every time I commented on the same lines, I was ridiculed by many, sometimes with bad words. As a Neurosurgeon, I have treated more than 5000 accident victims over 20 years, and I know the devastation that they cause to the families and individuals
Edit the description. it's not dangerous, the driver was well within his control and the redbus driver gave him enough way and slowed down a little till he overtook.
It was in fact dangerous, and it all ended well because both the bus driver AND the trucker let him finish the maneuver. Also, this was done on a tank bund road where the slightest miscalculation would've resulted in one vehicle making a nice big splash in the lake. Kindly do not instruct me to edit anything unless you were there in person and saw the whole thing unfold.
Yes it's true fact . Iam a native of magadi a village appear in between chickmagalore and belur . I agree that road was tank bund short . Too bad and so many accident are met in every year . But one thing I will appreciate i.e the bus of scania company is so good and better. The two buses leave chickmagalore in 4.30 both drivers are very speed .
Are you trying to tell they are inexperienced drivers deliberately making such overtakes risking peoples lifes. They are well trained and know they are doing. As I said he waited for that red bus driver to give him way, he can't be slowly following that red bus for more than 2km. You are misleading people with your description. If that was dangerous to you, the overtake you made is too..
No. I did not say that he was inexperienced or anything like that. I know a few drivers on this route and even they felt this was a bit dangerous. There have been accidents here and a few months after I shot this, a Rajahamsa ended up in a field after a similar overtaking attempt. I know every turn on this road and have driven on it umpteen times so I am not misleading anyone when I say (with the backing of actual merc drivers) that this was, in fact, a dangerous overtake. I was in a car, on a straight stretch, with no oncoming traffic so my overtake was not dangerous. It was not necessary, I agree, but it was not dangerous either.
What a nice speed and only there was only back part of the bus and chasing also takes place the bus is shown so nice all places are villages and towns and small way to travel
nothing 'dangerous' in this overtaking - the driver of Merc Bus had planned it correctly, didn't o/take on the blind (left) turn; in fact the photographer does the same way of o/taking the red bus, timing his move against the oncoming bike!! my time wasted...
A bus drive straight from hell, the road is too narrow for high speed driving and manouvering. Driver overtakes even on curves, and at these speeds hogs the whole road.
+Nelson Terror Nowhere on the board is it written Mysore to Coimbatore. That bus is the Chikmagalur - Coimbatore SKS Express service which goes via Mysore, that is why Chikmagalur and Coimbatore are on extreme ends of the board while the en route places are mentioned between these two. That's how bus destination boards are supposed to be read.
According to the poster he mentioned in another comment that the brake lights did work and that it doesn't appear prominently due to Merc's poor design. As for driving in the UK, there is a disadvantage too. British drivers get stuck without rules and signs. Norway removed those lane markers so that drivers don't drive unconsciously, imagining that the rules will keep them safe and that every other vehicle will follow the rules disregarding the possibility that there could be a rogue car on the lane.
yea, even those roads are wider and much better. only the coaster road in gujarat, which takes the beating by the sea and the winds is in a bad shape. else, all the interior roads are also in excellent condition
Ksrtc is no 1 transportation in India.. proud for kannadigas
Best thing about this video is the video quality and location.
The clouds and skies further complement the video
WoW! Awesome video! :)
KSRTC, in particular BCD-D2 have maintained Benz buses really well compared to Volvos. The overtake by a blue Alto was insane!!
Brilliant overtaking yet so dangerous
KSRTC number one transport in India
Great effort to capture good simple things in life keep it up bro
+Anil S Thanks a lot!
Wow!! The way it overtook KSRTC SKS on the curve was superb MB buses are best
+Vishal Jawalkar - only thing was it was an opposite curve and therefore dangerous
+Vishal Jawalkar Yes, its superb unless you are on the other end of the curve coming in opposite direction, that would be awesome. Moreover this bus is running without brake lights which is in violation of law.

Dheeraj Rao I appreciate & thank you very much.

I was watching the nature...it is superb
Superb driving
Great driving... Great capture as always... :-P
That merc benz bus has better acceleration than ur car 🤣🤣
410 hp and 2100 nm of torque isn't a joke buddy
To hell with their "driving"skills. One small brush with an oncoming vehicle..one crazy pedestrian cutting across..one skid at the irregular sides of the road... you end up in deaths, irreversible damages, broken necks... what not
Safety is the last thing in our people's priorities
Sundararajan Srinivasan Well Spoken!
ನಿಂತ್ರೆ ರಥ....
ಹೊರಟ್ರೆ ಐರಾವತ....
What kind of camera did you use to film this and kind of file did you render it as? The quality is excellent.
I use a Panasonic HC-V750 camcorder and render the movie as a 50p MP4 file.
Is this the Chikmagalur to Hassan route?
But you did similar overtaking, and were tailgating the bus. Except 4:39, I don't see much problem with the Airavat Driver.
what camera did you use to shoot this?
+Shreyas Tonse Panasonic HC-V750
I M KANNADIAN and in my state all are super riders best of now but in bus it was dangerous but who's taking this vedio he/she could have show speedometer in the vedio then people will get to know how speed bus going, but thx for you're vedio
Super overtake . Video clearity superb....
its magadi lake near chikmagalur(chikmaglur belur road)
Excellent video. Beautiful countryside. Which camera did you use ??
Panasonic HC V750
Surely the roads can be improved and white markings be initiated. Shoulder markings too.
Hey, great video! Can I use a 10 second clip from your video for a 1 min time-lapse mashup? Will be credited. Thanks!
Hello, sure. Please mention credits and do send me a link to the finished work. Would like to see it. :)
Thanks.
Back red braking light is missing... Mercedes bus and no back lights????
What is Dangerous in this ?? Looks like he is a skilled driver.
How is it different from what you did (that too by taking the video at the same time ? assumed you are driving ) ?

This road is from chikmagalur to belur?
The road is Chickmagalur to Hassan right?
By driving fast you can reach 15 - 30 mins early but is it worth risking life for just few early minutes
Awesome weather and skilled bus driver.
this is chikmanglore - Bangalore highway

Chikmagalur - Hassan route. Please PLEASE read descriptions.
In the end he was going like a rocket
ಚಿಕ್ಕಮಗಳೂರು to ಬೇಲೂರು......
The dangerous overtake at 04:35 . Thank me later.
Yeah it's really dangerous overtake at 1:42
I would say you really drove well especially during 2:14 - 2:19
La circulation en Inde, cela doit être une curiosité. A voir.
KSRTC Mercedes Benz bus driver forget to off the blinker after overtake to some distance
Edit the description. it's not dangerous, the driver was well within his control and the redbus driver gave him enough way and slowed down a little till he overtook.

is this the routes between davangere and harihar , just after that engineering college , now live in canada , i studied in bapuji
+sibi john Could you please spare a few seconds and actually go through the description?
Dheeraj Rao ok
Yes it's true fact .
Iam a native of magadi a village appear in between chickmagalore and belur .
I agree that road was tank bund short . Too bad and so many accident are met in every year .
But one thing I will appreciate i.e the bus of scania company is so good and better.
The two buses leave chickmagalore in 4.30 both drivers are very speed .
well said sir
But this one is mercedes benz
this type of overtaking is pretty normal everywhere in our country
awesome driving skill, but it's dangerous without working brake lights
wtf no break lights!!?
+thapana chiran Er..there are brake lights. Not very visible though. Merc's design is not very good on this one.
due to the camera angle and the sun shining from the back only you couldnt see the tail break lamps clearly.
superb driving!!
Nice one! btw, vch car u were in?
Awesome overtaked by airavat bus
Foolish comment.. It's a suicide to overtake any vehicle.
ksrtc drivers skill in there job
Which route is this bus??
Read the description.
Are you trying to tell they are inexperienced drivers deliberately making such overtakes risking peoples lifes. They are well trained and know they are doing.

Magadi handpost
Chickmaglur to Belur road
hhahhahahaa....in the whole video ... i kept on finding the dangerous part.... bdw this overtaking is normal for us Indians... 😂
itts quite natural yar, u came to kerala... u can see many more
ksrtc best transport in india
V good
what a scenery... (y)
What a nice speed and only there was only back part of the bus and chasing also takes place the bus is shown so nice all places are villages and towns and small way to travel
nothing 'dangerous' in this overtaking - the driver of Merc Bus had planned it correctly, didn't o/take on the blind (left) turn; in fact the photographer does the same way of o/taking the red bus, timing his move against the oncoming bike!! my time wasted...
where is this place?
+Francis Tinu Could you please spare a few seconds and actually go through the description?
A bus drive straight from hell, the road is too narrow for high speed driving and manouvering. Driver overtakes even on curves, and at these speeds hogs the whole road.
I think it's from mysore to coimbatore or kerala highway right
+Kishore Gowda Could you please spare a few seconds and actually go through the description?
He is right..see the overtaken red ksrtc bus board..it reads mysore to Coimbatore
+Nelson Terror Nowhere on the board is it written Mysore to Coimbatore. That bus is the Chikmagalur - Coimbatore SKS Express service which goes via Mysore, that is why Chikmagalur and Coimbatore are on extreme ends of the board while the en route places are mentioned between these two.

+Dheeraj Rao u r right chikmagalur-Coimbatore..
KA 18
both are great drivers
chikmagalore drivers kanro
Isnt it chickmagalore road from hassan
Syed Faisal Fzr2000 it's chickmangaluru to Bangalore via Hassan

+Karthik Rn Yes it is. Already mentioned.
Namma KSRT 🚌
That is Karnataka driving
Amazing
very nice
Look at that weather.
Super and very nice
darling work bri
Route mentioned in description check it out..!!
its nice driving..
Why no 4 lane road?? So much space to widen..
Not even any brake lights if this person drove like this in the U.K he would lose his licence with-in one hour.
No no according to my sensible fellow Indians this is very very normal driving and everything is as it should be 😛😂
According to the poster he mentioned in another comment that the brake lights did work and that it doesn't appear prominently due to Merc's poor design.
As for driving in the UK, there is a disadvantage too. British drivers get stuck without rules and signs. Norway removed those lane markers so that drivers don't drive unconsciously, imagining that the rules will keep them safe and that every other vehicle will follow the rules disregarding the possibility that there could be a rogue car on the lane.
WTF! This is a state highway. How narrow is this? In Gujarat, this type of road would be the approach road from a village to the relative tehsil.
yea, even those roads are wider and much better. only the coaster road in gujarat, which takes the beating by the sea and the winds is in a bad shape. else, all the interior roads are also in excellent condition
Coz no rain In Gujarat so no road damage and also low fertile lands so easy to acquire and make wide roads.
Here in karnataka we get heavy rain and that is reason why our roads get damaged soon
Power of KSRTC to Chikmagalur
ckm to belur road . ryt
awesome. draving
awesome 👌
Super fast drive
