I tucked into the slip stream behind a MUV also in a hurry to reach home; This high speed tango was exhilarating stuff, I was actually beginning to enjoy the drive. After about 20 minutes of this in the fading light the guy in front jinked left as if to let me pass, I said a silent thank you and stepped on the throttle, only to see this suicidal maniac coming at me.
How many seconds will a car going at 120 kmph take to collide with a bike 50 meters away and going in the opposite direction at 40 kmph? Reminds you of a high school maths problem? The devil on the other hand was urging me to keep the pedal pressed ... a crash test of my own, satisfy my scientific curiosity by actually measuring how much time it takes!! Better sense prevailed, I let the bike guy pass to take his chances with the trucks following behind me.
Before my heart beat could come back to normal what do I see?, but another bike rider doing the exact same thing!! This was way too much for me to take so I aimed my car slightly to his left maybe 1 feet away and as soon as he was close I let him have a face full of windscreen cleaning fluid. The expression on his face...priceless.
I was still grinning when i reached home an hour & a half later :D
