We have seen many cases of jaywalkers in the night, and the reason the scenario becomes quite scary is the lack of visibility and at most times, the scenario becomes especially scary when the supposed jaywalker is actually drunk, wandering in the middle of the road, at night, while there are speeding vehicles.
This particular incident happened in Hosur, in one of the several windy state highways. The driver suddenly spots a man, right in the middle of the road before slowing down and coming to a halt. This particular highway leads to the TVS factory, and the traffic at this time is mostly heavy vehicles.
What to do in such a situation?
Stop! But the key thing is to look as far ahead as possible when driving in general and be aware of the surroundings. In such an incident, be mindful to stop, but also watch out for speeding vehicles from behind, while being as calm as possible. This could have been a situation gone very wrong for the man seen walking and the vehicles plying on the road. Stay calm, stay focused, be aware, and stop. And this is yet another reason to have a dashcam.
