Respect & follow traffic rules
Traffic rules & regulations are not made just for the sake of having rules, but they are for our own safety. If we don’t follow the traffic rules strictly, then how will it help us in our safety.
It is kind of chain reaction. If you break a traffic rule, out of 10 people near you atleast 3 to 4 will break the rule following you & seeing at those 4, another 4 of 10 will break the rules & it goes on.
So it is important we become inspiration for others to follow the rules & if possible guide the ones who are trying the break the rules & explain them the rules are made for our safety. Only then it is possible to decrease the number of road accidents.
I have started following the traffic rules striclty & whenever I see someone breaking them I just advise them not to. I am proud that I am contributing as much as I can in making the roads safer. So, when are you going to start?
Hello,
Traffic rules as you said are set for people to follow. But many times we find the traffic constables allow people to break the rules to fill their pockets.
One thing for sure, we ape the western culture, but do not try to ape the good qualities from them. Here is one such experience of mine which I have experienced personally during one of my visits to the US on the kind of traffic discipline that they follow.
Self Imposed Traffic discipline

SERVICE TO ALL
Hi Kiransubha,
I always wear helmet but in my city no body care to wear the helmets. Police will catch one day at the end of the month to show the government they are working efficiently. Why don’t these Police daily catch the people who don’t wear the helmets. A person can pay a fine only one day but not every day. I will stop near traffic lights when a red light is shown but many people break the traffic light if no police man is present near the lights. We Indians never change, love to break the rules. But your idea of We first have to follow the traffic rules is correct. I try to follow the rules as much I can but I get upset if anyone breaks the rules.
With love,
Madhu…. 🙂
Dear
All these rules & regulations are made for human benifit in kind of saftey, money, social development, and all kind of benefit.
Rules are made to follow, but rules are also to be enforced. Both road users and enforcement authorities violate traffic rules. You are doing a good job and deserve appreciation. I do not drive but try to be a responsible road user.
