nope... strict(er) enforcement will not work. the only thing that will work is individuals like you and me putting a stop to this, by practically doing it first, then educating our near and dear ones... this is the same point you have made.
how much policing do you expect external entities to carry out? if rules were all that were important, how many crazed auto-drivers would still drive their vehicles on the wrong side of the road, blatantly in violation of the most basic "drive-left" rule? and do you really think the cops care enough to police things such as cellphone use, while there are a thousand other things that attract their attention?
my apologies for being so blunt, but i have a question to all on this excellent forum: how often do you wear your seatbelts in chennai? reason i'm asking this is, because i'm right royally proud of *always* driving with my belts snapped around, not because it's a rule, but because i'm all the safer for it. i don't care if seatbelts are outlawed tomorrow... i'll still wear them. similarly, i'll never use a cellphone when i drive, because i can afford the cost of an outgoing call, so that i can call the person back when convenient. almost all chennai-ites can afford this, but do not make the choice... immediate gratification over delayed comfort.
whoops... that was a long post, and a rant.
cheers,
yak.
i may not be able to change the world, but i will definitely be able to change my perception of it.Private Reply to yaka michi (new win) |
