Traffic rules are for breaking by VIPs. Everyone is now familiar with red light green light signal emitted by bulbs and they stop when the red light is emitted in front of him or her. But the nincompoop drivers of the VIPs as if they are ignorant of traffic light system show the tendency to drive when the red light is emitted. These foolish drivers reflect the mental state of mind of the VIPs in the vehicles. Are the VIPs as foolish as their drivers? Why cannot VIPs control their unruly drivers? Or are the drivers instigated by the VIPs to violate traffic rules? If that is the case the drivers are wiser than the VIPs. But there are some sensible high ranking civil and police officers, who advise their drivers not to buck up from the vehicles in front of them unnecessarily. Their vehicles are driven nicely in the crowded areas. A rickshaw driver was slapped on the face by a police constable for crossing in front of a VIP’s vehicle, which was driven violating the traffic rules. Rickshaw driver sobbed and the rider on the seat consoled him not to cry telling the tears that rolled down should help him lead a happy and blissful life. But the VIP went away without knowing what happened after their vehicles defied traffic controllers’ order. Where lies the need for installation of traffic signal towers if one should not look at it? Our sensible advice to the VIPs is avoid using Kanglapat road, which is controlled by traffic signal. The other roads passing through the state capital, which does not have signal towers, are fit for them. The pilot vehicles leading VIPs’ convoy blare horn to make way for the VIP in the crowded area. Vehicles move cheek by jaw at Kanglapat road. There is no space for swerving. Common man always lands in trouble when a VIP vehicle is after him. Who would be able to ask our VIPs to feel the uneasiness common men face when they appear on the road. A police man put his hand on head when VIPs attempt to break traffic rules. Policemen on duty are at ease only when the VIPs had disappeared. After all where lies the need for all these VIPs to be on the road for all time. VIPs must not move on Kanglapat road frequently. If they use the road only for going to office and returning to home traffic controller’s unsavoury plight will be averted. The link road at other areas can be used for doing other activities than official one. Our VIPs too were once small men. They do not come down from heaven. They must know that they command respect of the common men only when they behave understanding the problems facing common people. However better side of installation of traffic signal on Kanglapat road is that too many people, who had once landed in unsavoury situation, caught by traffic jam have stopped using this road. More will stop using this road for more and more men and women will continue to land in the midst of sea of vehicles. Nobody likes to be caught by traffic jam. Be a wise man, do not drive on Kanglapat road.
