Do you respect traffic rules?

From Pakistan Say! Yea I Follow Traffic Rules Carefully But Only in a Day time on Night we don't care because here law about it. have a nice day.

We should respect traffic rules.It causes accidents...

Hi Sreekala In Pakistan, situation is not good either, Sure on Motorway people abide traffic rules as highway police is strict and they gave y ticket right away for any violation, but on GT road, where bribe rate is high, traffic rules are voilated and its said that when u r driving u not only have to take care of urself but also have to be vigilant enough to avoid mistakes of others. now answer to ur question 1)i do respect traffic rules 2) well some times in night time when roads are deserted, i just cross red light 3) Well i watch it many times. even police is watching it 4) No Take care

I do not drive but when walking on the road I sure try to respect the traffic rules and cross only when I have to. But just a couple of days back I almost got hit by a car who was trying to jump the signal and speed off. Luckily another guy saw the car and pulled me back in time. Thank God he did not scream and wait for me to go back because by the time I would have realized what he was saying I would be run over.

Yes it is very much observed around here in the US. Whenever you see a stop sign, you really need to make a complete stop not just slow down. There are road signs everywhere and they are actually there for the driver's safety. They are not just rules. So basically you are following these rules for everybody's sake. It provides caution and basic safety measures. Violating these rules only mean you do not care about other people and this is not a good reason for you to drive.

yeah ofc they are important to follow. they are made to be followed. tehey are formed from our mistakes n thry are to prevent the mistakes again

Hi Sreekala. I am not someone that drives at the moment because I am living in a foreign country, But when I am driving back home, I do respect the traffic rules, yes. I may occasionally speed, but that's about it! I have lived in India myself and am now based out of Egypt and there is little rhyme or reason on the roads at all to be honest. I see people viloating traffic rules on a daily basis, from running red lights to not indicating; but funnily enough I rarely witness an accident! I guess what it all comes down to, is that traffic rules are only as valid as the efforts to enforce them and if people are not being policed on them effectively then they will become relaxed about them over time.

I try my bet to respect traffic rules, while driving. I do not believe in jumping red lights or driving in the wrong lane. I've seen many people driving rashly and without any regard to rules and regulations. Those who voilates the rules cause lots of trouble and inconveninece to other vehicles. I have neither met with a major accident, (God forbids me) nor I have caused any major accident, while driving. I try to drive safely and very carefully and with my eyes and ears open and gradually I have become used to driving in heavy traffic.

Hi Everyone, I am from South Indian Manchester Coimbatore & i see atleast 4 or 5 times a day, a ambulance flying running the siren sound. so this mean to us that, atleast 4 or 5 dangerous accidents happens in my circle.So how about the rest of the places? People seems nowadays really much busy than the olden days & they are nott caring the signals nowadays. To my sad thing i watched one guy dying in front of my eyes, when he stopped his two wheeler, seeing the "orange light turns red". To his bad luck, the lorry which came back to him showed no mercy and killed him making blood stains on the road. Nowadays people respecting the traffic rules and riding properly is now enough nowadays (This rule matches before 8 or 10 years). but they should be also aware of the vehicles coming back to them. it would be nice if they use the mirror, while driving. that helps anyone greatly! moreover, Speed is the most important thing. according to me 50 is enough while driving in cities. & for those guys who does "bike race" in traffic roads, i just say you one thing. if you are ready to die, then wear a helmet to check whether you have luck in saving your life. & mainly dont kill anyone due to their rash drive. & finally if you have the guts, you can go for bike race in Tracks. why to make people fear on public roads? Finally, i answer about myself to this question. I am a bike lover. but not a mad in driving. often i used to take my bike for having a long ride of above 500kms. i used to drive speed only on highways. i always maintain the speed of 50 to 60, while driving in cities!

Hi sree....Yes you are right trafic rules in our country,and particularly in the state where I live need to be modified and enforced strictly ,if it has to become effective....Sadly here the authorities are not bothered to keep the roads in good condition,and to fill the porth holes in the road and make them vehicle friendly.And when the monsoon starts the streets gets flooded making vehicular traffic a mess.. Very often the traffic policemen are more concerned about harassing innocent people for minor offenses,and do not bother to ensure the smooth flow of traffic....Driving a vehicle in Kerla today is really an ordeal,I must admit..........I try to follow the traffic rules (as far as possible ),but sadly I must admit there is generally no discipline here.

as much as possible i should abide traffic rules. to lessen road accident

Hi frnds, I will follow and respect the traffic rules when ever i will go to the outside or city in a vehicle.I always follow the traffic rules when i go city. Following the traffice rules it good safe for us and we will safe from the accidents.Now and forever we have to follow the traffic rules and respect the traffic rules.

I do obey traffic rules, not only because I don't want to violate but foremost it's because I want to stay safe, alive and I will not be wasting my money for violation tickets or corrupt traffic enforcers. Although I admit having been forced to receive violation tickets a couple of times for alleged violations that after verifying with the Land Transportation Office, are not even traffic violations. Whew!

I live in chennai...and i find the traffic situation here is same of that of the rest of india...example of it is crossing arailway crossings...peple would generally sneak though the gate as the trains genarally are quite late when the gate comes down...i generally wait at the gate and wait for the gate to open...i wait for 15-30 min and feel like a fool when all the people are crossing before me...but one feeling comes in my mind that i am doing the right thing which keep me going...

You are right sreekala,the traffic rules today are more observed in breach rather than in compliance.The life is ever faster than before and everyone need to reach their destination in the shortest time.Those violating the traffic not only put their life in danger but they have no respwect for others' lives too.They don't have any concern for others.Some drive their vehicle ,especially youth,as if the Newton's first law of motion never apply to them.Whatever be the external force they continue with their overspeed without knowing that speed thrills but kills.As for me I can say with pride that I have never violated any traffic rules except in one occassion when I had to get a patient broken down of heart attack to hospital.I had to violate even the one-way rules but the police which followed me spared me at once when they came to know about the emergency.

In my city the traffic rules are very strict. we are bound to obey them it is the case from when we were child or even before that. so we have grwon up obeying the rules. there are strict fines for whom do not obey it.

as much as possible i should obey traffic rules...its way of citizenship...and by obey rules it will lessen road accidents....

a very good question indeed which is apt for the present situation... i do respect traffic rules and obey them. of course violating rules would cause a lot of harm not only to the person who is driving but also for innocent passerby... i am from india and this question brought by you will create an awareness for sure...

Well, in my country(China),the problem of road accidents are also serious. It's a trouble that the travelers can not realized it's so dangerous to violate the rules.They can waste a lot of time on many things but not traffic and another reason I think is the punishment of violating not very serious. I never violate the rules though I always watch the violation of rules and the accidents.

no
