Not for me. But for the guy who almost go run over by me. I hope he doesn't jay-walk again. And this near miss is another point in favor of not riding when you are thinking about something.
I left office for a small ride to clear my head. Lots of things going on, so thought a ride would help. And I was being my usual, throttle-happy self. On my way back, just a few hundred meters from office, I cut across the road from left to right. There was an auto and a Luna or TVS 50 or whatever right behind the auto. I knew I was going too fast to over take the moped guy from behind him, so over took him from the left, and was planning to cut across the auto and overtake him from the right. But it turned out that the auto was going slower than I had thought (or maybe I was going faster than I should have been). Anyway, had to brake hard, to bring speed down to around 70 kmph. Cut across the auto and saw this dud(e) standing right in the middle of the road, wearing a bright turquoise blue t-shirt (yuck!). Had to brake with all my might to avoid hitting him. The front wheel wobble didn't help in stopping, it only made the whole bike unstable. All in all, a very nerve-wracking experience. Now, if you excuse me, I'll go drink a cup of coffee to calm down my frayed nerves. If only they served Vodka in our cafe! *sigh*
