I was just glad that the poor guy on the motorcycle didn’t come under my vehicle or get injured in general.
BHPian KryptonMonkey recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Got into a scrape at Spice Garden, Marathahalli, Bangalore.
A careless taxi passenger opened the door into the traffic without looking out for passing vehicles. A motorcycle rider passing by crashed into the car door and fell. I just about braked in time but still got hit by the falling motorcycle. The motorcycle fell and slid forward, causing minor dents on the front right lip and driver-side door.
Fortunately, the biker escaped unhurt. The taxi passenger who caused the havoc was in a bit of a shock as people surrounded him and admonished him. I was angry too, and got out of the car for a minute to assess the damage.
I was heartbroken, but I left the scene as there was no point in arguing. I saw that the biker was safe with some damage to his bike from the fall.
Traffic had piled up behind my stationary car, and they were incessantly honking despite seeing the chaos unfold. I was just glad that the poor biker didn’t come under the wheels of my car or get injured in general.
Here’s the damage to my car.
Took the car to Detailing Mafia, Hoodi to get it washed. They removed the scuff marks with polish. Here’s the look now.
I’m totally peeved, but I guess these heartbreaks are now considered normal in India.
Apart from the usual drive safely sermon, my sincere recommendations to all readers: Please do not drive without a dashcam.
