Traffic Sense!!

Do we all have Traffic awareness?? Are we all least bothered about that..
All simple things which we can keep in mind so that we don’t disturb others

Let me list a few which bothers me a lot…

Head lights in vehicles. When you travel in the night you can see many (almost every one) driving with a high beam light in the city roads.
I believe we are supposed to use the high beam light only in highways. But everyone uses the high beam light even when the roads are too crowded in both the directions.
And you are supposed to dim and dip the lights when there is vehicle coming in the opposite direction. This is just a common sense which is very much essential for any driver. Even the lorry drivers and truck drivers do all these things properly.
Only the car drivers and bike drivers never follow it. But these drivers are all well educated and working in very high positions. But Common sense while driving??
When you travel with high beam on your vehicle in a residential area or in a by-pass where there no much of lights in the road, for the persons driving in the opposite direction nothing is visible. They have to drive only with a probability and imagine if there is a person standing in the middle of the road when his or her bike is break down.
We cannot identify the guy or any animal standing in the middle of the road until you hit them. Many accidents can be avoided. Thank God that using helmets are mandatory now.
But what about wearing the seat belts in car. Even that has to be stressed a lot.


Not only in the Head lights issue even otherwise people lack in the traffic sense. Its not they don’t know but they don’t want to know. By chance if you are traveling in a residential route in order to avoid the traffic in the main roads then it is all your luck if you can successfully cross the road. Because those roads will be narrow and for sure the vehicles in the opposite direction will never wait for a second to allow you to go.
And if you are so broad minded and you stop the vehicle letting the opposite direction person to come then that’s it!! You’ve to stand in the same place for next half an hour.
No one will care you. They have place so they will keep driving. And in some places if you see there may be 2 four wheelers in an opposite direction standing in a place and finding solution how to move or who to move back. There you can see some two wheelers just passing through the gap in between the 2 four wheelers. They can’t even stop for few minutes till the traffic is cleared. So at this point the four wheelers can neither move in front as there are two wheelers passing in the inch gaps nor move back because there will be so many big vehicles standing in a queue without even leaving an inch gap. If people have some patience letting others then there won’t be any mess created. Two wheelers really need to take a lot of care. If the jam goes for long time they even don’t bother to jump from car to car and drive or fly…..

The next one is when you come out of a building or small road and enter in a main road I can tell that no one stops for a second to see on both sides. They just come out and join the road.

It is not that only you are in a hurry to reach and it’s everyone. So people need to have a bit broader mind and little common sense!!!! That can teach you a lot of traffic sense…..
