Today morning as usual I was driving on the way to my office in Sec - 62. Now there is a straight road there about one km long which is quite smooth, wide and free from much traffic. I normally drive my car to the speed of 80 - 85 kmph on this stretch.

Now, I was driving in the right lane to avoid a rickshaw in the middle lane. Suddenly a cyclewallah turned right from extreme left to make a right turn. I blasted the horn, braked hard and the cyclewallah managed to turn his cycle back to the left lane casually as if nothing was wrong. Cursing in my head I continued on my way.

Now, the question is that God forbid if I had hit the cycle, what would be the actual cause of the accident - Overspeeding or the idiotic cyclewallah ?
