Lawless motorcyclists
A detailed write-up on motorcyclists was published in a local English daily on 12th August. However, I wonder if any motorcyclist read it! I find that almost all motorcyclists violate most traffic rules at will. Their worst crime is riding motorcycles on footpaths, despite the High Court ruling that footpath is only meant for pedestrians. They are least bothered about rules and regulations and routinely violate traffic lights, or traffic policemen's hand signals for traffic control.
It will be a good and curative action, if the government deploys the army along with military police to force them to follow traffic rules. Over and above, they have the audacity to blow their horn at pedestrians on footpath, asking them to move aside so that they can drive their motorcycles at speed on footpaths! Why don't the authorities take stern action in containing this lawlessness? They really deserve hefty fines or alternatively, jail for the day.
