Call me paranoid about driving in the dark, but this truck had absolutely no business on this road. It’s a freaking one-way, for crying out loud, and this particular patch of tar is a dangerous curve near the HP gas-station adjacent to Jaymahal Palace, a few meters from the Cantonment Railyway Bridge.
Head-on collision. Damn.
Onlookers kindly informed that the injured were rushed to the Jain Hospital nearby. Click here for the bigger picture.
Thats scary!!! People do that a lot at night time (I plead guilty to being one of them during my time in Bangalore). If people are going to break the law anyway by driving wrong way, there are unwritten rules to be followed too.
1. Don’t high beam the vehicles.
2. At the same time, don’t switch off your headlights.
3. Putting the headlights on dim is recommended, but may not be the wisest. Here’s what I do: Put it on dim, and occasionally flicker the lights to high beam for a fraction of a second just to warn the vehicles.
4. And most important of all, stick to the side (edge) of the road!
I follow those 4 rules whenever I travel wrong way on my car. Of course I do that only after mid night, because traffic is less then, and there are a couple of places where it would be most feasible to travel wrong way, like, suppose Im driving through Koromangala from Brigade Road side, and I reach Forum. If I wanna go right (towards Dairy circle) I have to go all the way around that St. John’s hospital area because its one way and there’s no right turn there. So after 12, I just briefly take an illegal right around Forum, while following the above 4 rules. :) This doesn’t mean I am in the clear. But at least, its much safer.
I think I am evil!
