Traffic, Accidents, Violations and Some Good Things

Everyone has to face nowadays one nightmare compulsorily in life and that is facing the traffic and traveling in crowded cities by whatever mode of transport one chooses.
One side the National Highways are improved with 4 lane traffic etc., and on the other side volume of traffic has increased to a choking point that traveling is no more a pleasure but it is better today than it was yesterday. That is all.
Life is nothing but a clash of common interests with time, space, opportunity etc., constraints.
It is true and applicable to traffic also.
If every body has got sufficient time and more space then except accidents due to mechanical and human failure no other accidents that occur due to paucity of time and space will happen.
When two expert drivers meet each other from opposite sides then normally no accident will occur.
When one expert driver and another foolish driver meet each other from opposite sides then occasionally accidents may occur.
When two fools are at the driving wheels of their respective cars and when they meet each other from opposite sides then most probably an accident may occur most of the times.
Driving is anticipation.
Due to the growing traffic in many cities tempers run high when there are violations in following traffic rules and we see often both the parties hurling abuses on each other and ending in an unpleasant situation.
Violations may happen at time for no fault of any one driver because of the time and space constraint etc., then it is better to throw a warm smile on the other one and go around happily with a pleasant feeling.
I remember now the drivers of Darjeeling mountain road jeeps who if they happen to come in front of another one in the middle of the road especially in the curves politely back up throw a sorry and go away smiling leaving every one happy.
When you meet an offender on the road stop smile and go away happily.
I always stopped my two wheeler or car at the right time whenever anyone wrongly crosses my path and my warm smile at them was always responded to by them with a bowed head and in silence they used to suffer the shame they had put them in.
Have a good day and Drive around happily.
