hi! as usual, we r looking at the prob from the wrong end! those with a sense of history will recall that originally, local transport was opened to private operators as Redline buses bcoz of inefficiency of DTC and reckless driving by its drivers! when Redline buses turned into "killers", their name was changed simply to Blueline. Fact of the matter is, we have no sense of discipline on road! be it a pedestrian, a cyclist, a rickshaw-wallah, handcart-puller, a n auto-rickshw, a car driver, bus-driver, and all others! nobody wants to follow even the basic traffic rules and every kind of vehicle shares the same space, irrespective of its speed and stability! bikers r virtually a terror on road and, believe me, car-drivers r afraid of them! a little touch and the car suffers a dent and the biker will just speed away without even a "sorry! "! there is hardly any move on part of the government to control the growing number of vhicles bcoz they have to pander to the whims of the auto-industry. it's well-nigh impossible to see a solution to this problem in the present set up! media is interested only in the sensation aspect of theproblem instead of promoting an unbiased analysis for reaching a solution! but, that is the state of practically all the problems facing the indian society!
