A serious think needed about traffic manners !!

[normally_crazy]

guys ,

on my vacation in europe , it was a shock to me when i travelled on their roads. there was no honking , lane cutting , or even scaring the pedestrians crossing the road. no road rage at all !!!!!

the situation is completely opposite here in our country. if you drive without a horn u get shouted at and stared by the drivers who overtake u !!

if u dont cut lanes , people wonder where u got ur license from !!!

and the less said abt the pedestrian/cyclist v/s drivers , its better !!!

and remember , those blokes abroad drive with buses having exclusive lanes and trams too...cyclist have their own lanes too !!!

so why is it that inspite of less obstacles on the roads , traffic here is much slower

the answer according to what i observed is lack of traffic education manners !!! agreed the population here is 10 times more than there but if the guys driving follow the rules to the T , i think the congestion and slow movement problem will be solved. most times it has been seen that the people who drive blame everyone from the govt. to the cops but seldom do they look at what they do and how they drive !! education plays a crucial role here ......and of course the rto has to step in and ensure that lincenses are not gifted away but earned !!

what are your views fellas ??

one more question to all of us, how many of us drive proper, i for one mess with decent driving twice a week at least lol, has decided on decent driving since last 2 weeks, feels better, hopefully it will stay..

no point in balming others but make the diffrence ourselves in whatever lil way..

Indian drivers cutting lanes are traffic illiterate.
They also dont fear the cops enough

I once wanted to volunteer traffic education and tried to contact the Hyderabad traffic police. But nothing went through.

this is all due to Corruption. We have on top of the mind that, if cop catches give him 20rs and push off. so it is we who have to start driving with sence, but i know its the difficult task. If we start following all those thing we will be left behind the traffic and listen to fellow drivers honks.

Like you said, they have different lanes for different types of vehicles.

Our traffic is mixed and totally incompatible with each other.

Cars Can't be driven with 2-wheelers.
Buses Can't be driven with cars.
And Autos can't be driven at all.

And.. then .. we have a speed limit of 50km/h. Can you follow that? (I am sorry I can't).

Impatience - another minus point on indian roads and this is becoz of all drivers cutting in and out , moving slowly in the fast lane , turning 180 degrees on the spot ( autos specially ) etc etc etc ..... and all this comes down to easy availability of licenses , corrupt cops and most important - no manners on the road - illeteracy...


hmmmmm.........im still thinking why r we like this ??

intresting topic
i wish the govt. instead of buying their fancy cars and taking bribes would just go to europe and learn from thier govt.
not only in road improvement and all but about how to govern properly.
cmon guys
how many foreign parties cause riots in their home town .
huh
on a trip to turkry the finr there for smoking was some 14 000 rupees ......
the govt should impose higher fines and better cops and make a pact with them stating that they can get a part of the fine money as long as the dont take bribes and all the dishonest cops should be put in jail.
also at least improve road conditions.
man
india rulz
govt sux
