Based on context and the mention of a rider, I think this was a motorcycle accident.

Having been to Bengaluru (or Bengalore as is more common in English), the roads do suck, a lot.

The bigger problem for this community (IMO), though, is the general absence of sidewalks. I tried walking to a restaurant ~1km from my hotel and needed to walk on the road the whole time, dodging cars and motorcycles (and those three wheeled things that are like cars).

Don't worry,

Meanwhile,

Externalities.

You forgot the part where they blame you all the time for hogging the road and slow down the traffic.

No country for anyone. Except Ambani and Adani.

Sustaining life isn’t a tenant of capitalism, rapid turnover is

Y'know we could have had human innovated spaceships for everyone since (at least) the 1930s, right?

Can we go back to the Sonora Aero Club tech arc? No? Oh right. Capitalist protectionism, eliminating the competition, to preserve their rents and maximised wealth extraction. :/
