Recently, I came across a kid who was so tiny he could barely get his foot on the ground from his Scooty Pep and was racing a similar kid, on a Pleasure. He entered a blind turn at......you won't believe......50kmph.
This is sight not too uncommon. A boy, 16 years old, I heard crashed his new bike; a 225cc; on an SUV at 60kmph and rest is too gory to tell.
Where is this taking us? Bikes that are as fast as anywhere in the world are landing in India but one can still get driving license without showing their face to the authorities and worse still, nobody cares if you have license or not. We want bikes as big as the ones abroad but can we learn even half skills of those drivers? Till then, many such reckless riders, and worse still, the fellow riders who by their ill fate fall prey to these killer machines will fill up the hospitals, queue up the insurance agencies and put precious human lives to waste.
