During my commute, I have seen quite few bikers having narrow miss or light scrapping with heavy truck on Western express highway, Mumbai as they zigzag ahead.
Sharing one unique experience at Tulsi pipe road in Mumbai - A biker from the opposite direction tried to take a u turn in the little space between road dividers on the bridge.
Almost hit into the corolla ahead of me, lucky the driver had the presence of mind and managed to narrowly miss the bike rider.
The biker flagged the corolla down and engaged into heated argument, I stopped in to support the corolla driver and to tell the biker that how lucky he was.
His response was quite an eye opener - "I dont want lessons on how i ride, this is Mumbai, time is most important".
Thereafter I have realised that many riders very well recognise risks involved and are willing to pay the price.
Now, when I see a daredevil biker , I just hope that if he ends up in an accident then it's not with my car pls. |
