Please have a ride at Chandigarh and then come to a conclusion.
Yes, it is well known there are violators when a signal is in red position. But Road side Romeos who want to show their machoism do violate. But not all Indians are violators or only South Indians have civic sense. Accepted in South the custodians of law with their monster like posture do create a terror in the minds of the public, thereby ensuring proper maintenance of traffic in that area. Being a South Indian, Iam terribly upset by the way you try to divide North vs South vs West.
