Does its legally questionable nature preclude it from being on the rude list?

Shit in the aisle.

Thats what I thought. Kinnaur does have roads just like these.

Also, the spotter is referred to as "Rinku" in the video. A local mechanic called Rinku (no relation I am sure) once sold me a dodgy wiper blade. The prick.

If we look at locally available cars with similar specs (lets use VW Polo 1.2), its…
