A close shave at an unsignalled Bengaluru metro junction has reignited road safety debates. A car driver paused to let an SUV, an auto, and a pedestrian pass before rolling forward. Suddenly, an electric moped zipped in from the right, perfectly hidden within the vehicle’s A-pillar blind spot.
Quick reflexes averted a collision, leaving everyone unhurt. The incident highlights how thick pillars can completely obscure narrow two-wheelers.
Experts advise drivers to lean forward and check around pillars before moving, while riders should avoid cutting across starting vehicles. A few seconds of caution prevents tragedy.
