Motorcyclists can get pretty notorious on roads in India – a record number of accidents are being reported every day. These accidents happen due to the carelessness of people, the callous attitude towards driving, and distractions.
A motorist and his wife were literally thrown off their bike yesterday when they tried to overtake a scooter in Bangalore.
While they fell off the bike, the vehicle remained upright and took a halt near a road divider, with their child. What shocked everyone was the miraculous escape this child made.
It’s quite unusual for a bike to balance itself, especially after a hit and this has shaken many spectators. The incident was captured by a man who was travelling in the car just behind the couple on Arishinkunte Road in Nelamangala. In his recording, it can be clearly seen that the child landed unhurt on the divider.
“Why [was the] baby supposed to pay the price for your mistakes?” asked a Bengaluru cop who handles social media for the city police.
Unfortunately, the child’s parents are now being charged for speeding and not taking proper precautions like wearing a helmet, overtaking from the left side and using mobile phones”.
