A video from Bengaluru showing a road accident has gone viral on social media, but not because of the crash itself. The clip has drawn attention due to the calm and empathetic reaction of a car owner after a scooter rider collided with his vehicle.

The social media account detailed the incident, highlighting the rider's mistake as well as the driver's behaviour. It stated that the rider was riding on the sidewalk and collided with the car, yet the car owner remained completely calm, which reflects his temperament.
It further explained that people typically lose their patience in such situations, but this driver handled the situation with understanding and restraint. Despite the two-wheeler rider's clear fault, the car owner neither got angry nor showed aggression, but remained calm and assisted him.
