How tantrums from my teenage daughter helped me diffuse an accident

The Baleno bumper had made contact with my Royal Enfield, and the lady inside was extremely angry.

BHPian bblost recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I had a very weird road situation.

Just wish I had my action camera switched on when this happened since it's quite unbelievable on its own.

On my way to the office, I had a couple of errands that took me via the Tolichowki area. There was traffic but it was moving along at a decent pace.

All of a sudden, a Baleno banged into my motorcycle crash guard.

Luckily I did not fall from the impact and the bike is fine. The Baleno bumper had made contact with the right-hand side corner of my crash guard.

There is a lady inside who is extremely angry with me.

I am absolutely certain that given the angle of contact there is no way I could be at fault.

But the young lady insists, I am at fault and is also a little abusive.

This is feeling ridiculous and funny.

I have a hunch that she was becoming extremely defensive and that is triggering the fight response.

For some reason, she decides that I am going to make a run for it and parks her car in front of my bike.

So there I am, a 40-something biker wearing armour and hard-knuckle gloves and this petite lady wants a fight.

I have a mental image of my almost teen daughter throwing a tantrum while shouting her favourite phrase "You don't understand".

Since she is getting hardly any outbursts from me, she has run out of things to say.

I told her that I need to get myself some tea. Tell her that I will give her a head start of 5 mins so that we are not on the same road at the same time. She sarcastically offered to pay me money for my tea. This was ridiculously funny.

Anyways she is gone and I get back on my bike after 4-5 minutes. Now I find her waiting for me at the next signal.

I get to her car window and now she is extremely apologetic.

I suggested that she get her car a nice dashcam and keep pepper spray.

Not many guys on bikes are middle-aged fathers used to tantrums from children. Some can and will use such a situation to nasty outcomes.

We wished each other a good day and left from there.
