I almost killed two morons the other day in the night. These 2 nincompoops are perched on the national carrier of Tamilnadu(read TVS50) and merrily going on the left of the road..So far so good. I am on the right, doing about 60-70(it is a two lane road with median) and as soon as I am about pass them, the moron who was driving suddenly veers to the extreme right to avoid some cement cakes(deposited by some ready concrete truck) and I had to take evasive action. Brake hard and veer to the right, while making sure that I do not hit the median and total my 1 month old car. Somehow manage that, and I want to tell the TVS guy to drive carefully - maybe give him some of the choicest abuses also free.
Drew alongside him and signal him to stop. He gets scared and start gunning the TVS(in a literal sense - all I can hear is a loud beard trimmer sound - he does not go anywhere). There is a Sumo ahead parked on the left and I corner him between the Sumo and my car. But luck was with him, the Sumo takes off at that precise moment, so he inches ahead. I can see both their faces, they are looking very scared. I am now very angry, as they are trying to run away from me. Initially, I just wanted to give them a piece of mind, but now I want to thrash them(well, the driver at least).
TVS is doing it's maximum speed now(around 50-60 I guess)....I have an empty road ahead, and I decide to cut him off. But I have to judge this finely as he may bang into my car if I stop in front of him suddenly. I manage it and corner him again into a small clearing by the road. But the bugger is too crafty, take a U turn and pushes off on the wrong way !! I decide that he has already been scared enough and carry on on my way, by then I was more in control of my senses.
I admit that I was a victim of road rage, but what if I had hit the moped? The morons were not wearing helmets and if they had hit the median, I might have been responsible for their lives. Nobody would have believed my explanation, and I would be running around in circles, trying to get out of this mess.
