P.S: A lot of self proclaimed zamindars (landlords) keep driving at night along with their dear ones to clock social media reactions. They keep boasting that they have driven over 1 lakh or 2 lakh kilometres without a single incident. They keep ranting that it's a pleasure to drive at night and the highways are all for themselves because there are hardly any 'idiot' pedestrians, two wheelers, three wheelers and cars/ trucks on the road. In reality, the actual idiots are these night owls who are anything but 'High On Cognition'. On seeing attached video of the terrible crash in Tamilnadu they will still not learn anything and brush aside all safety warnings because they are of the express opinion that it's only the others who get killed or get maimed, nothing bad can ever happen to them.
