One funny (sometimes quite disgusting and blood boiling) aspect of people's traffic sense is that they make mistakes, they indeed know they made a mistake on road. Yet they get to fight and show fingers at the other riders.
I had this two bachchaas riding on bike and trying to overtake me from the left in one of the hyderabad galli. I could not give clearance to them because I have traffic coming head on from opposite side. One of the jerks shouted a foul word and tried zooming past. I usually am very accomodative and take things easy, but having a bad day myself at work got nasty. I got past them brought them to a complete halt and got to some word exchange (I have been decent enough not to exchange blows, that usually happens in Hyderabad). Settled it after some local intervention and we parted ways.
But then I started thinking....is it necessary to do so, why should we lose our cool when someone else is making a mistake. Now you guys tell me what should be done in such scenario? Shut and forget or teach some basics? I guess the busy and hectic city lives and the restlessness of the younger generation is the root cause for the drama that you see on the roads everyday. But then I wonder life in other countries and bigger cities is alike....how come you dont get to see such scenes very often??? Is it strict Law enforcement or the fundamental training in traffic that making the difference............any inputs folks?
