Road Rage
Road Rage can be frequently seen in every country and in every traffic conditions. In traffic when a person comes in our way, we get angry and we scold him. This is a very basic type of road rage. But when the same anger crosses a certain limit road rage of course becomes a serious issue. We on a daily basis read a lot of cases about fights on the road and a lot of us might have also witnessed some. From my personal experience I once argued with a driver who was about to hit a man riding in a moped before him wantedly. The moped man's mistake, he camein the way of the car driver's track. Another similar incident happened in my locality, where a car driver punched a motorist on his eyes. The car driver was later thrashed by the public and handed over to the police. These kinds of scenes are very prevalant in the city traffic.
The main reason for such nuisances is lack of awarness about taffic rules among common people, ease of getting license (can be obtained by paying bribe), traffic rules not strictly enforced by the traffic police department and the list goes on and on and on.
Traffic Ramaswamy, the man who took intiatives in controlling the city traffic and making things straight faced personal injury and is now accompanied by an armed guard 24X7.
Though the rules are strict or not strict, people should follow the rules. We should'nt behave like school children who always need a teacher to control them. We are the only creature with sixth sense and should behave accordingly. India has recorded the largest number of accidents in 2008 in the entire world, whereas we have far less motor vheicles than in the U.S.
I am not going to finish this post by mentioning what needs to be done to control this menace. The reason because no matter what I write, things cannot be changed unless and until people want it to be changed. Hence it is the people who should think and behave accordingly to kill this so called traffic menace which is the main cause of road rage.
