That's what they say about people riding two-wheelers & truckers too; its all part of the game, each one blaming the other

Yes RG, you're right. But, maybe it's my inexperience. Having seen it for the first time rattled me.
[Regarding this thread, I'd put up a separate one, but it was merged. So, maybe you missed it.]

Yeah. I'll putting in my best to overpower the fear and come back blazing soon. You guys simply rock! I'm already feeling better.

i had a crash last October,that just inspired me to make a movie on road safety.However this is my first ever attempt at anything like this,so kindly excuse any flaws u may find in here.

Very good movie and the message at the last really means a lot...

Some observation...

1:22 - Instead of "But they could not ever see me" something like "For some strange reason, they seem to take no notice of me"

1:52 - The next song that start could've been faded well with the first so that before the end of first ends completely second could bring up to the tempo

2:31 - Couldn't really get on "Nothing more than the way I looked"

2:50 - Significance of CBR's speedo?

2:57 - Video really scares when ppl riding off so fast (I know the video is run fast)

Final message is on speed (noticed helmet in the left though), but, I'd rather insist on riding carefully, stick to law & wearing protective gears rather than insisting only on speeds.

OT - Thanks for your post here

ya thats true, but imagine riding on ahighway at say 100 kmph and a car is in front of you, you honk your horn, they will neither increse there speed nor give way. this is also a harsh reality.

from last accident (the major one ) back in 2010 as it was my mistake as me driving me FZ16(2008) 90kmph speed n haven't slept for last two days as sudden me feel sleepy n BOOM (slip in S turn) when i got conscious 9 hours later me was lining in hospital bed with head injury ( blood clot ) left shoulder deep wound , left elbow deeply wound , left knee again deeply wound n left left toe nerve (lite damage) multiparty scratch in face n hands

three weeks in icu six month bed rest n finally all right till now n always ..

Moral

drive safe wear your safety gear epically your helmet and take rest if you are tired

I've seen that a lot of accidents are due to noobs (especially on 2-wheelers) riding rashly and banging onto others. When 2-wheeler bangs into a car, the car driver is held responsible.

This is what happened to a friend of mine. He was driving normally in his retro Maruti 800. 4 drunk buffaloes on a single bike, none of them wearing helmet moving on the wrong side of the road banged into his car. Windshield broke, one buffalo fell into the car at a high speed. 2 of the buffaloes severely injured, my friend several cuts. There was a big scene, with cops appearing and all that, but the report was written in favor of the buffaloes due to public sympathy. It did not mention that they were drunk or that there were riding quadruple. It said two guys were hit by my friend's 800. The buffaloes (sadly none of them died) sued my friend in court later, and my friend filed a counter-case. Finally due to sheer luck the legal system worked right and the verdict was declared in my friend's favor.

I think we should do what is often done these days in the US. People install cameras on the front and rear side of their cars. Some even on the sides. So that any accidents and the cams are there to say who was REALLY at fault and they can be used as evidence in court. I don't think such equipment should cost much. We *could* try installing removable cams on top of our helmets so that whatever we see gets recorded. At night clear the memory and recharge the battery so that we can record fresh footage while riding the next day. What say guys ? If something goes wrong, this cam is there to help you legally because India is (no offence) largely a lawless nation full of bribe seeking b@st@rds who milk those with money.

been doing that in our car, though the cam is not installed, it just sits in someone's hands (mostly my sister's) and records the view from windshield. And trying to have a mounting point for bike.

Day before yesterday night around 9.30 from my 2010 activa.i was going towards my destination .suddenly an alto came in front of me from the divider cut there was an society.alto fellow was going there.In 1.2 secs i was in air about 4-5 ft above ground level and landed on my head(was wearing helmet).i have several bruises on my hands,legs,head,back,sprain in my both legs and left hand.immediately taken to the hospital by my father he was called by my someone.discharged yesterday moring.have attached photos of my activa

^ oh man, that's bad.feeling sorry for you and your scoot.
So, the damn alto hit you from the front, right? And any lesson or theory by which you would have saved yourself?

Thats bad

thats really sad. our best wishes are with you. recover soon.

yes, two -
1) always anticipate problems at gaps in dividers.
2) i dont know at what speed he was riding, but ungeared scooters generally havr a very poor stopping power. they cant stop like a bike. so rid carefully and slowly.

a few days ago i was going from aamby valley to pune when i saw a guy on a dio, and you won't belive he was on 80 kmph on a completely wet highway in night without helmet wearing slippers and criss crossing through traffic like anything. the must be high on something.

not to offend anyone, but guys ride carefully and always ride within your and your bike's capabilities. always anticipate obstacles and sudden problems. even if you see a dog on the side of road, prepare yourself for sudden braking an if possible slow down a bit, coz you can't control when that dog will fancy a jump ahead of your bike.

ride safe brothers. really safe.

hope you recover soon.

yes,i have learned a lesson that always wear a good helmet.you should also wear it everytime it doesnt matter that for how much distance/time you are riding,Accidents can happen anytime,anywhere,anymoment.before the accident i usally dont wear helmet but that night something striked my mind to wear a helmet....if i was not wearing helmet that tme god only knows what had happend..

thanks for the wishes i know that activas and dios are prone to skid in sudden braking condition....in my case i didnt got a chance to brake accident happend in the time of blink of eyes
