It was a decent Sunday afternoon, when I was driving from Silk Board towards Banarghatta road. I was in my car and was at around 50-60kmph. Suddenly from no where, there was this rash bus driver who overtook me from the wrong side (left side to be precise), barely missing my car’s side view mirror.
My instant reaction – I lowered the left side window to give a really bad look at the driver. I failed to do so and it hurt my ego! I changed the gears, accelerated the car, overtook and brought my car in front of the bus, and reduced my speed. The bus behind me also slowed down and tried to again overtake me from left, again. Seeing that, I steered the vehicle in that direction to block his way. The bus driver again tried to overtake me, this time from the right. I again steered to my right and blocked his path. This bus and car game continued for 2-3 minutes when finally I felt satisfied and left the bus to follow its own path. I felt like a self declared winner.
Just within couple of minutes of this rage, I realized what I had done. First of all, I had actually risked both my car and my life just to satisfy my ego. I brought it intentionally in front of the vehicle without thinking whether it was really required. Secondly, I tried to prove that the driver was a bad person, without realizing what situation a driver can be in, especially when the poor chap is doing the same thing from morning to evening, throughout the year to make his both ends meet.
Certainly, I will keep this incident in mind, and will try to avoid this in future!
Bye 4 now!
