If you drive a bike, a bicycle, or just a two wheeler, I just hope you do everything in your power to protect yourself. Please be careful, okay?

I just heard an unfortunate accident from my mom. The dental college Dean's daughter got into an accident this morning.

She was sitting in the back seat of the moped. I don't know what exactly happened, but the result was the dad getting thrown on the left side of the road (India, right wheeled cars), and the girl getting thrown on the right side of the rode, in the center of the road.

The same tractor ran over her head. Dead on the spot.

This is the second accident of similar type, I heard. The first one, I saw on YT. It was gruesome. Really. It is after this video I watch out for any person when reversing our cars.

My parents don't let me drive our scooty as well. Or other bikes as well. Either Government public transportation or one of our cars. I almost always end up taking the SUV for my classes. It is a compulsion for me.

I do ride two wheels on road. It's dangerous, I'm careful. generally low speeds on roads I ride, but even then, I won't survive if they hit me. hopefully gives my wife a good lawsuit if it happens.

hope for the best.

I'd have to know the scenario you just reviewed. If a tractor ran over them, they were on a road I wouldn't risk riding on. I was in a bike club some time ago and people would pick stupid wrong roads to ride on because... they are not thinking. Don't ride a bicycle on a road with semi's.

sorry to hear... awful.

A valid concern- and I'll add in DON'T IGNORE STOP SIGNS- THEY DO APPLY TO YOU. I've had a couple of cyclists I've almost run over because they blew through stop signs; my car is far from silent, but the same is NOT true of your bike, and one of those guys was on a recumbent bicycle- his head was two feet off the ground!

Amen! That's the TRUTH!

Thats really sad. May she rest in peace. I used to always want a suzuki or yamaha til i rode on the back of one. We almost died at 15 when a car came around the curve ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET and almost collided with us and well, that was the end of that shit for me

This is awful, may she rest in peace.
I don't drive at all, whenever I need/want to go somewhere I use public transportation or I call a cab.

I have an enuring plan: I want to eventually become an old man. Since that is my goal, I don't climb mountains, jump out of airplanes, or ride in anything that is not enclosed and does not have at least four wheels.

. . . enduring plan: . . .

What's the difference between a bike and a two-wheeler?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

A bike is a specific term. A two wheeler is a general term. It was meant to cover all the vehicles with two wheels on them.

[FunkyMonkee]

A bike and a two wheeler IS a bicycle!

I ride a two wheeled bicycle and always wear a helmet but if I get tit by a truck I know I will be road pizza.

Thank for the timely reminder. Sorry it had to come at such a high price for the Dean's family. God Bless them.

[Jamie05rhs]

That's terrible! 😧
