Viral Video: According to 2022 report by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways nearly 17% of the total road accidents that occur due to dangerous mountain roads, many are a result of rash driving. Here’s the scarily shocking issue in the footage of Rattan Dhillon, who has posted a viral video on X about an incident of a biker attempting a dangerous turn on a mountain road.
Biker’s Risky Move on a Sharp Mountain Curve
In the Road accident viral video, a biker is seen with great aggression as he takes a sharp curve in his bike. He miscalculates the turn though and bumps head-on into a mini truck coming from the other way. The impact knocks him off his bike and before he even can react, another car hits him. Miraculously, the biker walked off unhurt. A very fortunate ending to one that could easily have been tragic.
The Dangers of Rash Driving
In this viral video, rash driving has come forth very starkly, especially in mountain roads. The increase in speed, taking sharp turns, and lack of awareness about the conditions increase accidents. In the case of this question, the overconfidence and complete disregard for safety of the biker led to collision where the biker almost lost his life.
Exercising Caution for Safe Riding
Mountain roads require utmost caution from motorists and riders. The roads are largely narrow and twisting with poor visibility and uncoordinated movement of traffic, compelling motorists to slow down and drive defensively. Obvious gaps between vehicles, correct gearings, and observance of road signs are but some of the resultant control measures against such accidents, as seen in the case in the viral video above.
The video has prompted a wake-up call regarding safety over competition in terms of speed among all road users, especially when the terrain is at issue. Perhaps this motorcyclist gets off scot-free, but not everyone is that fortunate when they take reckless driving to dangerous roads.
