Dont get distracted..<\/p>\n<p>Here I would like to narate an incident happened last week. While driving through a small two lane road in Gurgaon, I got distracted by a crowd on the road side. There was a small accident and parties were arguing. I was just looking at them and driving. A two wheeler motorist stopped the scooter and the middle of the road for watching this. Since I was looking at the crowd, I couldnt see the motorist just in front of me. Because of God&#8217;s grace, I just looked ahead, and by reflex .suddenly applied the break ( the motorist was just  2 feet ( an estimate only ) from my car ). The breaking was so sudden that my 7 year old son who was sitting at the back seat, fell down into leg-space. The vehice stopped just millimeters from the scooter.
