I watch the "saved by luck", "close calls" kinda videos a lot. I don't watch it for fun. I watch them to learn from the mistakes that people do and be conscious about it. While I'm riding, I tend to be very conscious around old people riding bikes and ladies in scooters (no offence! Feminazis, keep your Defense to yourself. I'm not generalizing all the ladies here), because you can't predict their riding nature.
I happened to have a "saved by luck" moment today. Some guy came straight and hit me hard from side,as I was crossing the intersection with about 10kmph.
Contrary to the popular beliefs, the guy wasn't a 'cool dude on a pulsar'. He was an old man riding a Honda Shine. No injuries to me and my bike, I'm thankful and didn't feel necessary to make a fuss out of it. I never care to react if I'm OK. I will be thankful I'm OK and move on. Despite the fact that it was his fault, speeding at approx 50kmph in an intersection, this old dude exclaims "don't you have eyes? "
I almost slapped the sh*t out of this guy. But I didn't want to disrespect him in front of his wife. So I just grabbed my bike and walked away.
I always believe I will crash not because I'm riding rough but because someone else is. Happened a lot of times. God knows how scarily I ride when I'm angry, yet nothing happened in those moments. And when I'm riding happy, chilled, some idiot crashes into me.
This is the second time in two consecutive two months that I have had a crash, not because of my fault. Toady was a little too scary. Had he hit my leg, god knows what would have happened. And after I rode away from there, I started feeling like everyone in the road was trying to crash into me. Phewwww!
I have been saved by an inch a lot of times. This must mean something. Either god loves me because I have done good for others, and thus it is paying me back or god is warning me of sth yet to come.
