Everything is relative, true or false?
In life to be rich, you have to have poor people
for you to be happy to with a big house, you need smaller houses
for you to be smartly dressed and be noted, people around need to be less smart.
Imagine if everyone has a uniform and look alike like the many Rajinis in Enthiran, you are not going to have handsome, beauty and ugly as descriptive words, eh!
now that you are getting the gist of what this is about, let us go to the relativity
Einstein described Relativity in space and time. Imagine that every vehicle on the road are going at exactly at 80 KM or miles per hour, then you cannot find a rude driver or a slow moving vehicle with an elderly couple you are going to be cross with!.
Hence you have speeding vehicles and slow moving or static vehicles or objects.
Now let us get to accidents on the road which is where i am getting to! where you see yourselves at faster or slower relatively and hence increase the risk of an accident.
The accidents happen when two objects collide with each other when they are in different speeds to each other. hence for one to be as safe as possible, then you need to be away from contact with another body or vehicle which is in different speed to yourselves. Suppose you are driving in a car at 100km speed, then a lorry at 60 or a BMW at 140 Km or a static lorry parked in the main road, or a dog which comes in the middle of the road are all hazards.
If you remember my blog on hazards and risks, the risk of an accident increases when you have an hazard on your way.
but wait, you cannot avoid the hazard altogether. our roads in India are full of them. it could be a dog or a bull or a parked lorry or slow moving tractor or the crazy driver who horns and drives too close to you in the Scorpio or a bus who decides to drive towards you on the wrong side of a national highway!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are following so far, you would have understood that neither going fast or slow is safe, to reduce the risk of an accident. in other words, going slow or be static is not safe in roads. remember the polio patient of mine who was static at a traffic light in red got hit by a moving lorry. He thought it was safe to stop at red signal but relative to the lorry behind, he did the wrong thing by being static!
Hence, keep yourselves or your vehicle in equal or near equal in speed relative to the object or the other vehicles on the road!
this is one way of saying "keep your speed according to the traffic around you or the object near you" in a complicated way! In other words if everyone is doing a speed of 60, reduce your speed to near 60 until you get out of their way or they get out of your way
Or if you are near a static object reduce your speed to near 0 Km to avoid a crash
Or if the road is clear, then hit the pedal!!!!, but make sure your Vehicles brakes and tires are in top notch! and you are sober to use them!!!!
