⁸This happened when I was traveling to Bhopal from Nagpur (for those who are not aware-Bhopal and Nagpur are 2 cities in central India) We were to visit my brother, so my wife and mother were with me. It is a 6 hr drive with a patch of jungle and a nice landscape around.

The highway construction work has been going around for a while now and they were constructing it one side of a patch at a time in an alternate manner. Making it a difficult road to drive as one has to switch road sides after every few minutes. It essentially meant only one side of the road was useable for both going and coming vehicles.

For such an under construction highway one has to be careful while driving and control the speed because suddenly a point comes where you need to switch the side. You cant have a constant speed all across.

Now on such a highway, suddenly, a guy looking very colorful appeared in my rear view mirror. Though, i just had a glanced, i couldn't ignore him. He was dressed in yellow T-shirt, red pants, mirror shades and super spiked hair cut (which i call a flower pot cut, as it looked like one). He seemed very careless about the roads and was riding his bike as if it was in a park and he cared for no one.

He was literally driving in a zig zag manner and turning the bike very sharply. The bike was literally driven in a wobbly manner. I am sure many of you must have come across such bikers. Actually, his such driving made me notice him more. His risky driving and over the top dressing made my wife and mom notice him while he zoomed past our car, almost touching my car.

we all wondered how can someone drive like this? That too on a highway where trucks and cars run on high speed.

After a kilometer or so i overtook him as we were on a straight stretch. But this guy again overtook my car giving me a strange look. And his reckless driving made us wonder again. I said ‘ye marega aur dusro ko bhi marwaega' (this guy is putting his and other's lives at risk). The way he was driving, an accident was bound to happen and in India, no matter whos fault it is, the one with bigger vehicle is blamed for the accident and in many cases public overpower the driver. Doesnt matter whos fault it is.

So the moment he went past us almost scratching our car, i got irritated and my wife asked me to let him go for our own safety. And i complained about our system and why can't we do anything about such guys.

After a few meters there was another switch and this guy again in his zig zag driving disappered on the other side making a sharp cutting turn from this side.

Since only one side of the road was useable, vehicles from opposite direction also used the same side and i think this guy forgot this in all his heroics.

When we went to the other side i could see a SUV stopped in the middle of the road. From a distance it appeared like an accident.

The moment we reached near the SUV we saw a bike had rammed into it right in the middle. Bang on on the front side…head-on collision. Our colorful guy's bike was kissing the ground and he was getting up on his feet with his mirror goggles resting obliquely on his face to head. The expression on his face was of pain but thankfully he was safe.

I stopped the car and saw the SUV driver getting down of his car while abusing the guy. I knew whos fault was it and i was aware what public might do. I just opened my window and shouted at people that he has been driving like this. The SUV driver acknowledged my help and thanked me with a gesture.

Later we all in the car bursted into laughter seeing this instant karma but also thanking god that the guy was safe.

Hoping he learned his lesson.
