I am about to touch the favourite topic of every puneit blogger : traffic in pune.... :) sorry all, can't help it...
Pune mirror Front page news "Buckle up" (dated 3 Feb 2009)..... tells u everything about Traffic laws and all,but, do puneits care about any law?? huh.i don think so.. Every puneit plays a blame game over Traffic subject.. ....
Bikers think that whole road is made for them and they don't like any one to come in between. all other no-gear vehicle owners envy those bikers but, blame on them for all accidents. Now is the turn for car-owners,they totally envy all 2 wheeler riders as they can just make their way ahead in any traffic jams ( and create more and more chaos ,resulting into further traffic jams ). Poor chaps those car-riders ,i must say.In current traffic situations, i think journey by car in pune is most slow (except buses).then, last comes up ,views of all heavy-vehicle drivers, they envy all other small-vehicle owners ... :) . yes, this is the fact....
I don't want to blame just vehicle riders in pune, even our traffic system is really redicules. No strict actions are taken over rule-breakers by traffic police.No proper signaling system is maintained by analysing traffic frequency.Traffic police don't have proper equipments to check whether anybody is violating rules or not.
anyways, these list is gonna increase like hell. so, better to stop here itself :P
My only opinion and request to all riders is that, please follow rules and regulations , co-operate with traffic police ( here i don't mean that to give the bribe or something : P ) and have a nurture the feeling that ROAD is made up for all . : D :D :D
