Hansal Mehta wrote on Twitter that, about 30 years ago when I was a boy, I was about 20 years old. It was at Fiji Island that I met with a fatal accident. My car left the road and fell down the hill. The car almost broke down. I was driving the car at speed. I was wearing a seat belt. Had I not survived that accident, my life would surely have been lost.

Hansal Mehta, while talking about his terrifying experience, further said that, from then on, I stopped driving at speed. I always wear a seat belt, even if I’m sitting in the back seat. I get worried if someone else sitting in the back seat is not wearing a seat belt. Better to be safe than sorry. There is no bravery in driving a car at speed.
