Mishap And Calamity - Bus skidded at a bend on road while it rained


The bus driver was surely not new to the route. His overconfidence by driving at a high speed even at a bend on his regular route while it rained could have been fatal for the people in the Maruti Alto car, the bike rider and the passengers in the bus. 
The bus driver was simply NOT High On  Cognition. 
The video of the incident from Kerala in mid 2023 should be a wake up call for all over confident roadies. 
Irrespective of how familiar one might be with the road, dangers keep lurking at every kilometre and every corner.
