Is the Rapido driver fine?
According to an NDTV report, even though the accident damaged both vehicles, Abhijeet Srivastava was immediately taken to the hospital, where he received timely medical treatment.
Lucknow police said he has since been discharged and is recovering at home.
Has there been a legal action?
According to the NDTV report, no formal complaint was filed regarding the incident. However, Lucknow Police said, “Necessary legal action is being taken.”
However, social media users who saw the viral clip think that the Rapido driver riding on the wrong side of the road is at fault.
Here's what netizens said:
“Bike was going fast but wasn't driving wrong side. At impact,biker was on his side of 50% road (40-50th% of his side). Car was on 50-65th as it was a narrow road. As per LAW, the right of way is with straight road traffic. The car taking turn should watch & enter rd. Bike offence- speed,” a user said.
Another user said: “Its logical that a 4 wheeler can't go at the speeds that the bike is moving in these cramped roads. The bikers tend to drive fast due to pressure on delivery time or that bikers assume the roads can accommodate these bikes at that speeds. Hence there must be a law to limit 40kmph”
“Totally Bikers fault. He has to slow down nearing the turn. Car was slow and was turning normally. During turn in such small roads, the car will surely pass slightly through other half of road which is why the opposite lane cars need to slow in such junctions,” another user said.
