Discipline 101
I visit Pune every week on an assignment I have taken up there. As anyone who has been to Pune knows, two wheelers rule the roads in Pune.
Most of the signals at the traffic junctions have timers on them, which are tell how much more time for the signal to turn to green. Extremely useful and saves fuel. Also these signals are powered by solar panels.
The other day I was at a signal which was to turn green in 10 seconds. A young man on a zippy two wheeler comes along with his girlfriend as his pillion, stops for a second at the signal and then drives right through it, knowing very well that it would turn green in a few more seconds.
What is that makes one break simple rules like this with such alacrity? Is this blatant disregard for law isolated cases or simply endemic?
I wonder what kind of citizens such individuals would go to make.
