Accidents Don't know if there's already a thread for this..
I'll start one anyhow.. I was driving to beanstalk in i'nagar today in my new silver swift (0 scratches) 3 days old. and there was a jam on old madras road for some reason. after being stuck for nearly 15 minutes the traffic started inching forward and then the amby in front of me stopped moving. the driver leaned out of the window and asked me to reverse my car.
i also noticed that everyone on the opposite side of the road seemed to be looking at the accident and immediately after that, looking at my swift before driving away. it was quite unnerving because no one could have known it was new, so i was hoping i hadn't got a ding somewhere on the bumper or the side of the car.
anyway, i managed to get rid of the auto behind me and reversed my car. turned to the side lane and drove a bit forward and i saw a banged up ikon. broken headlight, with a cracked windsheild that looked like it had cloth stuck to the cracks on the glass
and that's when i saw the other car.
a silver swift (looked brand new) and i mean it was shining. the front portion of the car had been totally blown off, it looked like the car had been dropped nose first from a height of 200 feet or something. the back was undamaged.
i felt sorry for the owner, knowing very well that that was exactly what my swift could look like in a similar situation. it looked like he had been coming at quite a high speed and been rammed by a bus or something. don't know about the ikon though.
it also looked like the passengers were unhurt, judging by the lack of a hundred people surrounding the car(or torching a bus/truck).
which is when i came to think. a moment of adrenaline gone wrong, a moment's distraction when a pretty girl crosses the road is all it takes.
drive safely people. save the racing for the track.
or the computer.  |
