Since most of the public(I am sure about Bangalore) belong to "the one who stops only when the traffic police is present" category and those who 'stops at red light even when the traffic police is not present' appear rare, you should have reversed the descriptions for Confirmist and Maverick.

Conformist most of the time..But need to confess that very few times did broke the rule..But nowadays ,no..I stick to signals and don't care about honks of the buggers behind..

I am a Conformist. Considering there are so many Conformists (in Bangalore), how come I feel so lonely when stopped at the traffic signal. Would be nice to have company @ the red signals where traffic is honking and trying to intimidate me into breaking a red light.

Desperado...
I know this is wrong but i cant wait when there is a way to vrooom.

Maybe coz we are a few dozen whereas the population of Bangalore is a few lakhs :(

hey, this poll is turning out to be a good one.

p.s. the traffic light thing is just an example to explain the three options.
it would be more accurate if everyone select their option w.r.t. overall road sense.

aZa · 4th January 2007, 21:49

Conformist 70% of the time

kphilip · 4th January 2007, 22:27

Am a conformist .But the rash bus drivers in cochin never allow the ppl here to be one coz when they see the signal they come at full speed with horns in high alerts and cluster of mean words to move off their track..
