ML people are abusive towards AS number plate cars

PS: Not to create a controversy and definitely not to instigate hate towards ML people (I’m sure most of them are good people just like in any place, it’s just the bad ones attract attention easily and shape an outsider’s opinion).

Today was my second trip to ML with my family in my car driven by me. It’s a personal car of course. We had a day trip today to Laitlum Canyon from Ghy. While coming back from Laitlum to Shillong, I overtook a car when the road was empty and I had the view of next 300-400 meter or so. It is a narrow road, but I overtook only when everything was under control. But the car guy didn’t like it for some reason I couldn’t comprehend. He overtook me and stopped in front of me. He got down and started shouting. He was very aggressive. He was alone and the road was empty and I am confident I could have easily taken him down should there involved a physical scuffle (unless he is armed). But I let things go as I was with my family that consists babies. After shouting a little, he got back in and started going and the incident didn’t escalate further. It is an unpleasant experience and I feel sad about it.

Something similar happened last time I visited one year ago as well.

I may be wrong but it seems like some people there don’t like AS number plate cars.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced similar incidents.
