30 minutes everyday to reach office and 30 minutes back home is what I spend on the roads on a given working day. And trust me, its an experience in itself each passing day. Many a times I have seen such noble behaviour by the riders and drivers that I am proud to be in a city where the traffic rules are followed, but there are those bad eggs sprinkled across the traffic that are out to make it hell for others. Imagine waiting at the signal till there are only 10 seconds remaining for the signal to turn green and then jumping it. Its a crime no better than jumping the singal at the start itself, yet somehow in our conscience, jumping with only 10 seconds on the timer is somhow better than jumping earlier.
Why would it be like this? Why do people on the road not look eye to eye because thay know pretty well that they are doing something wrong. Traffic junctions without policemen and signals are the best. No one wants to wait, why should they? When the other side is scared to capture the small gap why should we let it go. Its like war, absolute total war (atleast its a bloodless one).
Someday, we will follow rules 'coz we understand the implications of it, rather than just walking over then since it don't affect us directly. Someday though, right now, we are just in the pre-teen ages. ;-)
