Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hmmm! I am like you Bharat, in that regard, I always stop at red signals. I do curse people who don't but I don't lose my head over it :-D " Aap apradhi ho " was sad to hear, however.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Its natural reaction when one watches people not following the simplerules and endangering others life, if they do'nt bother for their own. There are manynow who try to follow the civic rule and are sensitive towards society. The few ones create an impression that there is chaos all over and orderly behaviour is not to be seen. It is not so. Let us think positive that number of such people is on decline. Please continue your present stance and there will be more persons to emulate you. All the best.OPG To: mgims From: bharat_7910@... Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 13:26:57 +0800 Subject: Aap Apradhi Ho I dislike every form of disorder. This negative feeling is accentuated if disorder leads to a perilous situation or even hurts public sensibilities. What we see on our roads is reflective of our disordered social behavior. Indian drivers are notorious for showing little concern for safety. They have no guilt or remorse for causing distress to others on roads when they drive around in a frenzied state. I do not feel good watching people in a tearing hurry at road intersections where we have traffic signals. They endure the wait for the green signal with a great difficulty. Many of them start moving before green light appears. Some of them do not even bother to wait and just drive through. These scenes are unsettling for me because I stop at every intersection even when there is no other vehicle or a traffic policeman stationed there. I found myself in interesting circumstances a few days ago. I was driving through the city. The signal was still green at an intersection when I approached it. Therefore, I hoped to cross it without any difficulty. Midway, a car ahead of me slowed down. Then a scooter cut across my car from the left as the rider had to turn right. I was stopped immediately as the light had turned red by then. I was asked to produce my driving license and other documentation. The policeman told me sternly that I had violated traffic rules. I explained what had happened. He listened to me but I was doubtful whether he registered anything that I was telling him. My disquisition had no effect on him. He announced I would be fined. He took away my license and handed me a form. I was directed to deposit the fine in their office a few kilometers away. I rued my predicament but secretly felt happy that the policeman was doing his job well. I went to deposit the fine as required. After waiting for some time, I was returned my license which had a pin stapled into it. I did not know what it was for, hence I asked the man at the counter about the pin. With his eyes focused on some sort of a document, he shot back, “ Kyon ki aap apradhi ho.” Bharat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
