This happened on the third day of my new job. The clocked ticked 1:00. It was early in the morning (or midnight ??). I winded up all my logout chores and came out. Got into the cab along with another guy. Was enjoying the cool breeze of the dark hour. The other guy got down at Madapur. And our journey continued. Everything looked normal. Seemed like every other day.
We were on the fly-over that goes from nagarjuna circle to begumpet and then happened the unexpected. I was looking out of the window unknown and wondering whats there in the store for me and suddenly our cab went very close - very very close to the pit wall of the flyover. I thought the cab is taking a free fall from the fly-over already. Somehow, the driver controlled and journey continued for a few more feet and we almost bumped into a lorry. I saw the cab driver and he was 90% asleep. Wow!!! Dont drink and drive but what about sleep and drive! I wanted to go home..Nowhere else. So, I took up the steering wheel and gave a break to the driver. He sat in the passenger's seat and slept yawning to the glory.
I guess this was the very moment and reason for which I have learnt car driving...Chaos Theory.
It really takes an experienced guy to know how it feels to be the only passenger with a sleepy (slept!) driver with heavy vehicles with tones load running on the road
