Today morning at around 11am I was riding a bike. I was on a quite a busy road with bicycles, rickshaws, and other slow moving vehicles alongside other fast moving vehicles. I was riding at around 35-40km/hr.
Suddenly a Yamaha Enticer zoomed passed me while I was riding a Hero Honda Splendor! Will u like it if someone goes by you in that way? I did not like it at all. So I picked up my bike`s a bit. Then I saw stopping to talk to a taxi driver. But that not a usual stop and he braked quite hard and came to a sudden halt.
I again reduced my speed and went on in a normal speed.

Again after around 2 min. He passed by me. And this time he really angered me. Because there was a taxi coming from the opposite direction, and he was so close to me and the taxi. If he hadn`t had a perfect move, either he would have hit me or the taxi.
As soon as he overtook me, he saw there was a taxi parked beside the road and he was headed straight at it!
He braked hard, but it was too late. He swung on the road. Just like a raft floats on a river.He hit the taxi and a woman who was just beside the taxi!
She screamed aloud, though she was not that hurt. And people from the surrounding came in the scene quickly and surrounded the biker.
In the mean while I had stopped on the middle of the road seeing him swing in that way and fearing that he may fall right infront of me and me going over me!
Suddenly I dont know what happened to me I started shouting at the crowd that the biker should not be spared and beat him. They all stared at me. Then another bike in which a father his daughter was riding came and stopped beside me and he also joined with me that the culprit should not be spared!
This angered the crowd even more and they started slapping him right and left. he got around 8-12 slaps. I returned home after that trembling, yes I was trembling and thinking of only one thing.
Did I do the right thing by shouting in that way being a driver and a rider myself? Someday this might happen to me also.
But again I thought that I did a good thing coz this incident will teach him a lessen and he will not ride in that break-neck speed on such type of roads again.
Note: This might look like a story but I really wanted to depict a clear picture in your mind so that you all can understand the situation and tell whether -
What I did was good or bad?
