Road Rage

While coming to work this morning I witnessed the aftermath of an accident. A Santro's bonnet was completely smashed and the culprit was none other than our most hated campanion on the road, the CAB. The vehicle was typically a TATA SUMO with a message on the back of the vehicle saying if you find this vehicle driving rashly blah blah... How many of us have actually called the number to complain. I certainly did that only to find the number not existing. Not only driving rashly, these vehicles are also guilty of air and noise pollution. Bangalore City Traffic Police (BCTP) never fails to grab the opportunity to nail violators of traffic. Most corners you will find TVS Scooty owners, TVS (50 is that what they call them still) showing the emmission certificates. I am sure you have noticed that these cabs, autos, tempos, trucks and BMTC buses never get caught for noise or air pollution. My friend has this status message on his gtalk id. "In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are traveling in a wrong path." I guess we have stopped noticing what is wrong and have begun to accept them. So when everything is going wrong we are in a state of bliss. Coz ignorance and arrogance is bliss and we are experts at this. Aren't we?
