White Enfield, the power behind Bangalore Traffic Cops. Initially I was drawn by their looks.. White cowboy caps and those images are replaced by their not not good shader tales of corruption & ineffectiveness…
Can’t blame them entirely. Banagalore has gone for a spiral growth and with it the population of two wheeler and four wheeler…
Traffic is a mess, and the attitude of drivers is even worse. At any unmanned junction, you can see how drivers try to overtake each other.. .it resembles no less than the nature of the beast ….
At times I wonder if it b’cos of the rampant growth or the new culture of competition on the roads. People honk at every point. I’m a kind who hardly honks, for I think it hardly makes a difference. What annoys me is to see people honking even when the traffic is dead slow or just when the signal has turned green..
Wonder if the commuters are driving with so much of tension that they can hardly wait or just they are venting out the frustration through high decibel honks..
Often I hear reports in newspaper of action taken to reduce honking, but on the street it hardly makes a difference… I don’t see any immediate hope for people like me who detest honking.. only think I can do is to get drive away from this mess or If I was a tad richer I can buy a four wheeler: with windows shut, it will a little less on my ear drums..
