zapper

The insensitivity in the blood of people especially here when it comes to awareness or the resultant of an action that effects public in general is very high.I have seen people who care two hoots when they chuck garbage across the road or litter a public place and that is very much part of our world.But what baffles me is the way people drive vehicles and shoot out of a lane like blinders and will not strain their necks to see on coming traffic or follow simple rules that give way to main line traffic.
Indicators provided are not read because they are the "educated illiterate class".They violate all rules set for the public because they think money can buy out everybody.They even refuse to shut a call if they are caught by the cop talking on the mobile while driving or riding.Blatantly they will continue with the conversation and then attend to the cop, who also patiently waits:((.
What do we say to such people??
Zipping through the crowded streets as if they are playing "pacman" they may get gobbled up one day on the streets while their family waits for them to return.Giving way to the traffic behind, or using the rear view mirrors or side mirrors is a rare sight.Same is the case with right and left turn signals which are mere show pieces.Infact the auto manufacturers in India can save costs by not providing these tools to the passenger car as its a complete waste.
In my last blog I had mentioned about the way people are stacked on the bikes and 2 wheelers which sometimes makes me feel that one should classify them as commercial vehicles for carrying excess cargo(beyond prescribed weight restrictions).People , kids, bags , balloons, and infants all on a 2 wheeler and weaving through dense traffic and rains.
God bless this place and drive sense in the commuters and people in general.
