Social menace that we see quite often is vehicle owners engaging in brawl on the street in the event of their vehicles colliding with others. Each pretends to be on the right side and think the others on the wrong side. As the heat of argument intensifies fisticuff galore. Many of these vehicles owners inculcate the false hope that the other side should pay for the damage done to their vehicle in the event of collision. When the other side refuses to meet the demand what is expected of others is fisticuff on the road. Manipur has seen that you have never seen in the past and it has happened in broad day light. Manipur has seen too many high end car models running on the street. No wonder these car owners think of extracting huge amount of money even from rickshaw drivers in the event of a scratch appearing after a rickshaw had driven near the vehicle. These car owners take think of extracting if I remember Rs one thousand from poor fellow drivers when a side glass is broken. The demand moves higher according to the damage level. It happens in Manipur the car owner tracking down the house of rickshaw owners in the event of rickshaw drivers pleading the inability to meet the demand of the former. What happens after that it is for everybody to guess. Should not laws be framed to ensure that vehicle owners themselves repair their own vehicles? Unless that is done the poor and hapless people who have no background will end up paying the demand of the rich and influential men who prowl like lions on the lanes, and by-lanes and main road driving SUV model vehicles. If the law is made in such a manner that will be acceptable to all whatever that is occurring verbal or physical duel on the road will be checked. Fighting for repairing of vehicle is a matter of shame. It is just like expecting someone to pay for your ailing mother’s health care. Everybody drives cautiously on the road to avoid meeting with accident. Nobody intentionally drives into another vehicle. Accident is accident. If your vehicle is engaged in an accident with another you too are equally responsible for it. Always remember the little sacrifice made by both sides will save both time and money. If the matter cannot be solved on the street it may reach the law court. That will be too costly. The amount spent in legal fight can be used in repairing the vehicles. If you cannot repair you own vehicle you have no right to own a vehicle. Learn to move by bi cycle or by rickshaw. These car owners are very miserly they do not even switch on the Ac facilities in the car while driving. If they would not use the facilities why did they own high end car model? In Manipur a car is used as a show piece. Every single pie they have is used up in buying the latest model car so they fight on the street when anything happens to their car. These glittering cars instead of standing out as a symbol of financial improvement of the people of the state have created fear psychosis. Go for cheaper model that will be for the betterment of all.
