Human Trafficking

No, no.. not the topic that u feel sooooo much about. Its about the one I feel soooooooooooo much about! The title is just to make u interested ;)

Hyderabad (and its twin Secunderabad) has the worst traffic on roads. Does not matter if its Indian, Asian, Martian or watever, no place can beat The City of Nawabs for its atrocious traffic sense, rather, nonsense!

Have a peek at this video to get an idea about how bad the situation is. This has been taken at a small T-intersection and not a major junction. (The frame rate has been increased, but that should not take away much from the situation)




Can you folks give me 5 good ways common traffic sense can be injected into the rascals manning the vehicles on the roads in Hyderabad?

The Best suggestions will be rewarded with some exotic prizes! And there are brownie points to be won too.. so, start thinking...

There arent any for the current drivers. Cos Sense cant be put into idiots so easily.

I say bring out more strict traffic-offense fines and jail terms?

This is not a new situation...The only thing to solve the problem is.....

people start having sense of traffic...

All punctuality people have to show in India is in traffic lights:-)))

Anyways coming to suggestion....

How about... "charging" people??

Thanx Keshi..
and is SL really so bad? Will find out when I go there.. if at all!

Jail terms is something I have been advocating much too often, not just for the traffic offenders, but also for the hawaldaar who lets them off with chai paani!

I have thought of a few rules which can be put in place to deter ppl from drving nonsensically. Will put those in a latter post.

Also d u hv proper Driving tests (both written and practical) in India? D u hv a demerit points system for each Traffic offense that wud make u lose ur licence when reached a certain limit? d u hv blood alcohol limits etc etc?


Here in Aus, it's not that easy to get a Driving Licence.

Wow...chraging I mean.."Chalan se that...;-)))
waise bura idea nahi hain...440 volt ka jhatka....

What I think...usually people are not sacred of naything...which makes them to break the rules....some hard punishment shud be given...

Vrijilesh Rai said...

Keshi.. yeah.. wat rules are u talking about? Here the Home Minister who has the reigns of traffic in his Dept drives the wrong way.. an ambulance is kept waiting at a traffic junction bcoz of some MP zipping past 10 minutes later.. a ministers driver was found to be without a valid license at a check.. this is not Ozzieland .. its Mera Bharat Mahaan.. total freedom to do anything anywhere!

Vrijilesh Rai said...

Chaks.. lets start the 'electrocute traffic offenders' campaign. Chakoli Zindabad!

Keshi said...

omg that sounds frikkin UGLY! And so much like Sri Lanka. *rolling eyes*

A corrupted system is very hard to clean up.

Keshi.

Vrijilesh Rai said...

Aarti.. agree on the local transport thing only to a certain extant. Not sure if those chaps would actually follow rules.
