The case in point is a month back as I was proceeding on my scooter from the Basilica of Bom Jesus to my home in Bainguinim. A speeding delivery van overtook me and in order to avoid the oncoming car, came on my way. The result, I was hit by the rear end of the van and dropped unconscious. With God’s grace I was miraculously saved as I was wearing a helmet, yet received six stitches on my forehead, three on my elbow and several bruises on the right side of my shoulder.
A sense of proper driving should be inculcated in all drivers both two-wheelers and four wheelers who are constantly overtaking even at speed breakers, cross roads and circles.
The authorities should heavily clamp down on all offenders to instill a sense of road discipline. Let us strive to save our life and those of others by not regretting later.
