No one will come from heaven to teach us these traffic ethics, its time to change ourselves, there are many people living in Karachi or any region/part of Pakistan have dual citizenship (person having foriegn nationality as well Pakistani citizenship) whether they lived in USA, Europe, Australia or from any state of Gulf, they follow all international traffic rules when driving in these countries but when they come here in Pakistan to spend their holidays or meeting their families they forget everything, just switch on the ignition bring car in first gare and press full the accelerator, for God sake you are coming from a well managed area, you are supposed to be a well managed and organized person, what are you doing? I am not blaming all non-residents nor I am saying that people residing permanently here are follow all rules, but its a reality, its a fact. Just watch the traffic on any signal of any road throughout the Pakistan, you may believed that what I am saying is a truth.
But the questions are that we are now 63 years old, when we will learn these ethics, should we waiting for any teacher? Do we need a good leadership for these? Is this only responsibility of Law and not of us?
Please, please, please, if you could not follow all rules of traffic kindly follow only 2 rules;
1- Stop before zebra crossing line.
2- Never bunk or switch your track unnecessarily, if you want to move to other track give proper indication.
Think about it and think hard. If even a single person turn himself after reading these lines and follow only 2 rules mentioned above and he will I am damn sure then I will think that my efforts for giving to this post will fruit full.
I think traffic problems are the least of the worries in Pakistan, watching some of the politicians 'debating' on television just shows that 'ethics' are something alien to (some) Pakistanis.
