  1. we the people never going to change till the rules and orders going to be severe. these people need the self responsibilities and more even commonsense of that they creating the reasons for traffic violence such as accidents, but the saddest fact is we not going to change, we cant change still everybody comes to feel that they too have some social responsibility.
    very severe rules implementing by the govt is the only solution for all the headache like this.
    what the reasons for happening such things… traffic police and the government rules so they have more responsibility to take care all those things.

  2. Detterent Laws Needed

    people must be aware about serious consequences like Traffic jam and accident due to such irresponsible actions.moreover only people cannot correct the society,It is the responsile of the goverment to implement Detterent Laws to maintain Law and Order and to prevent any further accident and unexpected actions being happening in this country.People indulging in such activities like annoying the public must be punished and they are deserved for punishment.

  3. Welcome to India. The scene is self-explanatory. A stretch of road,with too many vehicles,leading to unavoidable traffic. Amidst this,we have a person,who is carrying long pipes,not knowing the risk he is exposed to as an individual and also to others. Thinking of what the main cause of such a situation could be, reminds of the endless rules and regulations put in place.Rules are made for the people to follow and not for records. Mobility in any city is the basic right and with such traffic jams,reaching the ultimate destination would remain a dream.Stringent rules should not only be made but also be followed,by every single individual.Its the individual’s responsibility to believe,to follow and to inspire others to stand by the rules.If these small rules are not going to be followed ,then we would still have terrorists attacking us ,yet another day, and all we will be left with, is frustration and anger (which is pointless). Before its too late,lets abide by these rules and also spread awareness of its importance, as it matters to the nation,which is eventually made of you and me.

  4. IN our country proper lanes are not there this is the main problem .also people are not following there own lanes in road. some main roads are there with lanes for all locomotives but the proper locomotives are not going on there lanes.
    i am requesting the people to follow the lane to avoid accidents!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Why is it that the pipes are being carried in this manner?Why can’t they be taken in a safer mode? People do not know the consequence as it may be of greater risk to them as well as others.A larger proportion of people are quite negligent of the rules and laws. They are too preoccupied in haste that they forget the danger it yields.So let us highlight it and make our roads safer to travel on.

  6. what is this???? it is really ridiculous!!..why cant they be taken in better transport???? this kind of things leads to accident and result in death…this damn things not only disturb the person who carries all this stuff but also the public…people don’t know the consequence of this..once they face some problem they will come to know the pain..the one major problem in our country is “LANE”..even though our government is providing all the facilities like constructing bridge to ease traffic etc etc…our Indians are not following it because most of them are illiterate..they don’t the value of it..

    government should take severe action on those who does not follow rules ..and i think if they (government) take action everything will become perfect ….
    please follow the rules and regulation!!!!

    It is scary to watch such scenes on the road, may be the rider would have just thought that he can transport the big metal railings at a cheaper cost, without having much to spend on any other means of transport. i wonder if he really knows the consequence of his actions. its not enough to just make stringent laws, whats the whole point if people dont follow them? why blame the government. people just grumble at such incidents, why not walk up to the rider and tell him that he possess threat to the others on the road and if he doesnt care, report the issue to the authorities ourselves. we complain, we curse, we grumble we always want the govt to do something for us. with a more than 6 million population in the city its just not fair on our part to blame the govt. if more than a dozen people tell him directly or scare him saying that if he doesnt follow they’ll complain will definitely work. the next time the rider will have second thoughts before doin the same.
