In this latest video, a Mahindra Thar driver jumped the divider just to save some toll tax. I have reported numerous instances of people performing questionable activities in Thar SUV. Thar is the most successful off-roader in the country ever since its inception. In its latest iteration, the Indian auto giant is struggling to keep up with the demand. In fact, for some models, the waiting periods are well over 1 year in some cities. That is a testament to the kind of demand this SUV invokes. Let us take a look at the details of this latest case.

This video comes from Nikhil Rana on YouTube. This channel often uploads content around road safety and the performances of popular cars during unfortunate incidents. On this occasion, a Thar owner is caught on tape performing an idiotic act. As per the information in the visuals, the SUV was being driven in the extreme left lane when it approached the toll booth. However, at the very last moment, the driver decided to jump the barrier to bypass the toll station. The toll plaza officials are seen running after the SUV. But it was gone in a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, people often adopt remarkably bizarre acts to avoid paying toll tax.
