Abnormal Norms
Posted by pinkey Sep 13, 2006 10:19 pm
Salman, you may recall that a similar incident took place with me last year, but sadly I was behind the wheel! I can never get over the scene of that biker`s head hitting my windscreen! I will never be able to thank God enough that he was wearing a helmet so he only got injured on the ankle.

I recall getting down numb, my eyes never leaving him as he stumbled over to the footpath. He was in pain, which aggravated when he realised the repercussions of breaking a signal, and it`s impact on him, his bike, my car.....

It`s a cruel, selfish world out there. Moreover, it`s strange because on the one hand, there are people who are NOT willing to take any risk, i.e. those who sped by, and then there are the risk-takers; those rash motorcyclists!

Good work Salman. I`ll be very honest with you;, I would not have been able to do even half of what you managed. I would just have freaked out first, and that trait is found in many in which we mingle. We can forgive them for it. There will always be such people and among them, there will always be a Godsend.... this time it was you. God bless you.
