My policy has NCB protect cover, so I wouldn't lose out on that. But if i didn't have that I would have asked him to pay the NCB amount. I wonder what is the need of FIR for third party claim when there is no loss of life or injuries. Even I didn't think of third party claim due to this exact reason. |

This is exactly the mindset that I was implying. There's an African proverb which goes like this. When elephants fight, its the grass that suffers. It doesn't matter whether " most car, truck and bus drivers are psychopaths who are out to kill others on the road especially ones in smaller vehicles and two wheeler riders." It's the onus of the two wheeler to get home or work safely because he is the one who stands to lose the most whether he or the other driver breaks the rules. The govt doesn't care one way or another. |
I don't see many two wheelers driving defensively. To them, it's a rat race of pointless speeding and weaving and running red lights. The list is endless. |
If and when an accident happens inside city limits, usually the "psycopaths" walk away because of the protection their vehicle provides but the two wheeler has to bear the brunt of the damages. I really can't emphasize this enough. Your ride is replaceable but your life and limb is not. Regardless of who is right or wrong, ride safe and ride defensively instead of expecting others to follow the rules. |
PS - Please don't be offended if I come across strongly as that's not my intent. |

This video below makes me remember another KTM accident video a few years ago, wherein the rider died when another rider chose to break the rule. The problem with breaking the rule is that if someone else does it at the same time, nobody will remain ‘in control’ The Content Is Graphic https://youtu.be/LnhnzGdR6hw |

Finally found this accident video which I was talking about yesterday, while searching any u-turn accident video for another thread. Always remember, if you break a rule, someone else may decide to break the rule also and when two people break the rule at the same time, nobody is in control. This is what happened in this accident as well. Graphic content warning! |

What on earth was he trying to do? Driving the wrong way itself is a crime, that too at this speed is suicidal. If not for the collision with the bike, he would have collided with the bus for sure. Call me a sadist, I am happy that this happened to that idiot, he is not fit to live in this world simple reason, one day due to this kind of riding there are chances that he may kill an innocent. |
