    Giving back to society – Good road manners

    I will share an incident which happened today morning in Chennai, Airport road. A guy was driving a Honda City with a capital G embossed in number plate denoting that it is a govt vehicle. He was driving in fast lane of the road at 20kmph speed and busy talking in his phone. Even after repeated honking / flashing by drivers behind him this guy was continuing with his pace and call. I stopped in front of him in a signal and asked him to either stop talking in phone or stop the car in side of road rather than creating a road block. The response I got was a shaking of his head showing that he got my message and he is not going to follow it. The signal turned green and I didn’t want to create a scene there and block more traffic, and I rode on. Thankfully the driver stopped call after signal – most probable reason I think is the call got over, and not because I asked him to stop.

    Every day we see lot of people driving / riding recklessly, not wearing riding gear / seatbelts, talking in mobile phones while driving etc. We always think that why these people doesn’t learn. Are good road manners that difficult to follow?
    I am not talking about just traffic rules, am talking about good road manners.
    • Simple things like
    • Following lane discipline and using proper lane with respect to vehicle speed.
    • Stopping at stop line in a traffic signal.
    • Parking the vehicle giving due consideration to road traffic and pedestrians.
    • Using proper indicators and signals
    • Not using loud silencers and unnecessarily bright lights inside city limits blinding oncoming traffic.


    Why people don’t follow these simple road manners?

    One answer which comes to my mind is – They are not taught it.

    Most of the people learn driving / riding from their friends or family. And the highest level of education which they get from their teachers is location of accelerator, clutch, brakes and gear. Even use of indicators and RVMs are a mystery to most of them.

    This chain must be broken, good road manners must be taught and it must be passed to next generation. But how?
    One suggestion from my side is conducting orientation programs in schools where kids along with their parents can be explained about the road manners. Kids shall be taught so that they will pass the message to their elders (reverse manner of what it is practiced right now).

    Please pool up your ideas, and let us work for a change.

    This problem is huge and we all face it in our daily lives. Unfortunately, there's no short term solution to it. We can't even leave it on governments to fix this. They are too busy saving their chairs to bother about this.

    The solution is long term. Traffic manners need to be taught right from the school level and in a practical way, not just another chapter in social science subject. Then the govt. agencies will have to be very strict in implementing the laws and find ways to reward those who obey traffic rules; e.g., less insurance premium for people who have clean track record in terms of traffic rule violations.

    Unfortunately, even if you do all that mentioned above plus other things that are not mentioned here, it will take 2-3 generations before we see any noticeable change on our roads.

    The only thing we can do is follow rules/regulations ourselves as much as possible and pass on the same to our near and dear ones and also our future generations.

      Actually according to me the movies and other advertisement in which the heroes and others don't wear proper riding gears and helmets and don't have the riding etiquette let the children and others think that without helmet they will look cool and cutting and zapping between cars would look cool rather than this in all these movies and ad's the censor board should cut the scenes where the hero is not wearing helmet and other scenes like that or just age restrict that movie so that the children do not learn this. I would say the censor board should have much strict rules.

                Many people are in a situation where they need to receive an SMS on their number. Sometimes you need to register on a website and you don't want to give a personal number, or you can't register more than one account on the same number. You can receive temp sms to a virtual number - this is the best solution to the problem.
