OMG !!! Really sad to read such a tragic incident.
Apart from the already mentioned saree guards, personal caution must also be exercised to a large extent.
I remember an incident when i was in pune. A lunatic on a bike was riding with his toddler on the pillion. The kid was no more than 5 yrs old and was clinging on to his shirt. One bump would have sent her crashing on to the road and this was a fairly open road with other vehicles zipping. There would have been no reaction time for anyone behind to brake if the kid had fallen off.
Tried to knock some sense into the guy's head (was in his late 30's i guess) and i was very polite but in turn i was asked to buzz off and he didnt even bother to ride slow and was in fact doing speeds of almost 60k's.
Guys like this should be shot for risking lives of innocent kids. |
