Careless scooter or two-wheeler riders on Indian roads are not too hard to find. We have seen several videos online where people riding recklessly have caused accidents and suffered serious injuries. In most cases, the riders escape with injuries, but there have also been cases where they were not lucky enough to have survived. Here we have an incident from Kerala’s Kasargod district where a careless scooter rider attempting to cross the road without looking at oncoming traffic narrowly escapes getting crushed under…
