Accident scenario:
Imagine 3 vehicles, (from the left) a scooter, my pulsar and a lorry. There is hardly any space between me and the lorry. A santro(drunk driver mostly) pushed himself between me and the lorry and rammed me down as well. The santro was at a 100+kmph. I was pretty slow then when the incident had happened, hence not much of bad injuries. I fell down hurting myslef and a girl named Shwetha Bandha behind also fell suffering bad bruises. The first thing I did once I fell was turning back to see if we were on the way of some massive truck. By quick reflexes my hand raised giving a stop signal, luckily there wasn't any vehicle behind me. The second thing I did after I fell was to look for the santro that rammed, But that cheap illiterate drunkard had escaped by miles. Both of us were bleeding, but I fell like I was loosing my conciousness, almost fell down. Then a truck driver gave me some water, after which I could see everything stablizing around me. Then A friend of mine(Anand) drove back all the way and picked us up.
Now the moral of the whole incident. I certainly know no one is soo interested to know the incident with such accuracy. But two things that were embossed on my brain because of this accident were.
1.Do not drink and drive
You drink and you get killed is bad, but you drink and you get someone else killed is insane, sadistic and what not. In my case I wasn't drunk, but the car driver was! Or else he would have the basic sence to stop and check at least.
2.Wear a helmet
I went home and wondered why was I feeling unconcious? I just checked out my helmet and found these dents on it. Had I not worn that helmet, may be, just may be the hurt was fatal. I know I might be exaggerating a little too much, but it is a fact. I have heard of such incidents.
