Distraction while driving or riding can be very dangerous and this accident shows why. Here is a group of five riders who are cruising together on the highway when distraction caused an almost fatal accident. Here are two video segments that show how a riding together turned into a horrific accident.

The first video segment shows a group of bikers riding together on a highway. There is a slow moving rickshaw that is carrying oversized beams. One of the riders crashes into the hanging beams and loses balance. Another biker coming from behind crashed into the unbalanced rider and hits another biker in the group.

Both these bikers crash into a mini truck that was cruising alongside. They almost get under the wheels of the truck but somehow manage to stay away. The rear wheel of the truck also goes over the bike and crushes it. The rider who crashed into the beams got stuck with the beams.

The truck driver, however, did not stop and kept on driving. In most such cases, the truckers don’t stop fearing getting lynched by the locals.

The second footage from another rider’s helmet camera in the group shows that he is talking to the guy who crashed into the iron beam later. While talking, the rider missed the slow moving rickshaw and crashed into the beams.

Slow moving vehicles are banned on expressways

Slow moving vehicles like these are banned on most expressways, and many flyovers in India. Slow movement can become the primary reason of many accidents. This is why motorcycles are banned on many expressways across the country.

Distracted driving/riding poses a major threat on the roads in India and contributes significantly to the occurrence of accidents. Many mishaps happen as a result of drivers neglecting their focus on the road ahead. It is alarming how frequently we witness accidents that are caused by individuals engaging in activities such as talking on the phone or sending texts while driving. These distractions divert their attention away from safely operating their vehicles, endangering not only their own lives but also the lives of others sharing the road with them.

To avoid driving with distractions, there are essential steps you can take. First and foremost, it’s crucial to resist the temptation of using your phone while driving. Keep it out of reach or place it on silent mode to minimize distractions. If you really need to make or answer a call, pull over to a safe spot before doing so. Additionally, avoid sending or checking text messages while driving. Remember, it only takes a split second of diverting your attention to cause a serious accident.

If you want to communicate with fellow riders while riding or driving, the best way is to stop at a safe spot. Trying to communicate like the riders in the videos above will definitely lead to accidents.
