Sach Pass and Chamba/Dalhousie Photographs

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Thanks for correction Salil, was posting the photograph of PWD worker at Sach Pass somewhere else and by mistake posted its description here!

Spot on Prasham, while riding in group, one often comes across individuals who don’t care for their or other’s safety, and that can be anything from not wearing helmets to drinking and driving (you will be surprised by the number of "serious bikers and tourers" who engage in this).

Personally I just tell them once to not do it; if they continue to, then I simply stop riding with them. Creates a few cracks, but at the end of the day, I am out there to enjoy myself, not to spoil my trip by taking an idiot to hospital, because he felt holidaying is about getting drunk in a bar and then riding back to the hotel!

Boy!! You are strict!
Do consider giving them a second chance!

But drinking and driving need not be given a second chance; there I agree with you!

Sir that was meant for those who drink and drive, quite a few people ride without helmet in cities like Leh and I know I have been guilty of that at times. Just that I can't stand people drinking and driving, not that I have any problem with any one consuming alcohol at the hotel or walking back after drinking, but drunken driving just shouldn't be tolerated.
