Driving with high beam lights is just one thing. Here is one more common behavior, which further goes to reiterate that we have no consideration for another human being. Check out this scene, in Bangalore during a weekday morning.
What do our literate, techno savvy, modern man do when there is a traffic congestion on his side of the road? He speeds his vehicle through the other lane trying to make his way through. Leave alone his consideration for others, it does not require Mtech in software engineering to foresee the chaos he would get into or cause, because of that action. Still we do it. All it takes is a second of thought to understand the situation and decide not to make things worse if not help solve. But such sensible thought would arise only if one has an iota of thought about his fellow human beings. Oh yes we can brag about being a breed of modern, sophisticated human being.
So what if we are on our way to cannibalism.

"The State Government proposes to recruit 2,000 traffic constables and provide 200 motorcycles to the traffic police for effective management of traffic. The Government is also contemplating staggering school timings to reduce the number of vehicles on the road in the morning hours."
Will this really help reduce the problem or should the urban bangalorean,who the world looks upto - work towards being a responsible citizen and exercise basic Traffic sense.
Bangalore is a deprived city..a new highway, a new road or even a new shop..name it, and the janata is there resplendent in full glory. Every road leading to a work segment is choc-a-bloc with traffic from 8 in the morning to 11:30. And I am not kidding you. I have tried to change my work schedule to avoid traffic. Nothing helps. Its a deprived city. Maybe Infosys was wise to shift base to Mysore.
