the traffic signal shows red light,             break the signal rules coz theres' no policeman in sight!!
I have thought about the reasons why people in poona dont follow the           red = stop, green = go rule......... My conclusions -
> Theres a meeting in the workplace which has already begun and if the person doesnt reach before it gets over, he'l get fired!
> The person's house is on fire, & he needs to rush to rescue his loved ones or save his prized possessions
> The person's wife is about to run away or has already begun to run away.. & the person needs to catch her red-handed
> The vehicle has some problem due to which it cant stand still at a place
> The person cant control any longer, & needs to reach a suitable place urgently or atleast find some trees
Or simply and in most cases - you dont give a bloody damn about rules and break them just for the sake of it!!!
PS: I rarely break traffic signal rules; but sometimes when at a traffic signal, people behind you are honking like mad, uve got no other option!!! |
Comments on "why traffic signals?"
I often travel early moring and late night. And following signals during this time is like - accepting the undoubted brilliance of traffic signals (hahaha). When I can see that teh road is empty why should I stop? Just because the dump signal is gonna be red for 35 seconds more?
My point is that the dumb thing (traffic signal) doesnt know what is prone to accident and that I am smarter than it. Hence stopping as soon as you see a red is not a smart thing to do.
