Bangalore – Road Manners
It’s Monday morning. I was absolutely not in the mood to go to office.
Monday, I think it will be one of the Best day or one of the laziest day of the week.
Probably due to the fact that either I will be over enthusiastic or lazy even to go to office.
I got ready at 8.10 AM, I was on my Pulsar to the office. I absolutely in the mood of great driving. Mainly beacuse of the very less traffic and noise. I was enjoying my drive. By 8.25, I was in Dairy Circle. Suddenly a fellow at the distance of 10-15 meters was crossing the road and I saw him passing by and made the buzzar. He just did not care about the horn and he was crossing the road as if he is in morning walk in the beautiful park.
Forget about the man stopping to cross the road, he even did not think to turn around and think. He was in that jolly mood till my vehicle has reached almost near to him. Then he started going fast as I was about to hit him. This is a very usual scenerio in Bangalore now-a-days.
I started shouting at that guy as to why he did not look and stop while crossing the road though it made no impact on him. Another fellow passing by causually told to me, sir, Nothing has happened, you can contuinue your way.
It made to re-think, why some people just walk as if they have nothing to loose in middle of the road. Is it not the responsibility of the person walking by to look around and then proceed. Does he unaware of the rule that we should not cross something like this? This happens so many times to most of us. Somewhere either the point is some people are arrogant or completely unaware of the traffic rules… hmm.. I dont know what is it???
One thing is that fortunately I was not too fast and able to avoid the accident. Thank God!!
Crazy people !
It needs a generic awareness, as even if we are careful in riding, its the other stupids around who make life miserable..
I happened to be in a similar situation.. It was near Sadashivnagar just before the signal to get into the Main Hyderabad Bangalore Road towards Race course.. I was riding close to 50-55 kmph and a stupid guy just entered the road from a sub road on my left and suddently he was crossing in front of me to the right on the signal. The signal was green and there was no need for me to go dead slow and there was absolutely no traffic on road.
Seeing this guy, I put a sudden break and my vehicle skidded and stopped on middle of the road.. (Good for that guy, else I would have hit him, as well as slapped on his face after that). He just rode away and another car guy who was coming behind me was shouting .. “Nodi hogg re’ ……
Am I the culprit here…… Who the hell are issuing licenses to these a**h*les?
