“It is high time to be cultured or to commit suicide.

“It may be not wrong, but who should be dismissed and who should be disqualified and who should commit suicide?

“State Traffic Commissioner should/must be dismissed or disqualified for the post of IAS, or hanged. If not, then the Minister should commit suicide.

IAS officers know their duties. The work elements of duties are listed in their code of conduct. While writing their performance (Confidential Report) their reporting superior / Chief Secretary / Minister has to go through the reported / observed facts. It is a long matter, we need not go through it at this stage.

We know and the traffic controlling officers do know that what the traffic offences are. There are minimum 17+ traffic offences which are usually done by the, three wheeler auto rickshaw driver, two wheeler bike rider, heavy vehicle driver, own car driver, paid car driver and bicycle rider. Psychology of all the drivers are the same in general.

What psychological approach is common, among the drivers when an accident occurs?

OVERTAKE

“Want to go early. Let me move ahead even by one foot.   Let it be a period of “one second early” to reach my destination. If I will reach one second ahead of a car, the accumulated period could be 15 minutes in toto.

“WRONG LANE

“Let me be in a wrong lane because, I am one foot ahead. Yes. When I will turn right, the vehicles on my right hand side will have to give me a way, otherwise their vehicle will get damaged.

Even on highways, express highways, the loaded trucks do not keep left drive lane. Mostly wherever it is possible for them, they occupy all the lanes. This causes the vehicles behind, to overtake such trucks all the way.

“DRIVE IN ZIGZAG manner.

This is common in many paid drivers of the cars. It is very very common in bike riders.

“AVOID SAFE DISTANCE TO THE CAR AHEAD.

When a third party comes abruptly in the way of a car ahead, the car ahead, is suddenly stopped by the driver. The car behind, has not kept the safe distance, it collides with the car ahead. Either the one or both the cars, get damaged at the hoods.  

“SPEEDY DRIVING

The car drivers and bike riders do not slow down their vehicles at cross roads, zebra crossing. Further they start run of their vehicle  well before a signal gives complete green signal.

“MORE THAN TWO Seaters on a BIKE.

“Why to stop? Our country is a poor country” says xxx .

“ALL CAN AVOID HELMET

To put on helmet is ridiculous.

“HOLD MOBILE WITH NECK AND EAR

I am busy.

“There are many other offences ….

  ——————————-

1   All these offenders are visible,

2   The officials who are entrusted to catch hold of these offenders, are also available,

3   The proofs of the offence is also available,

4   All these offenders are localized,

5   Even the photos of the offenders are available, including video clips,

6   Car registration, car owner’s name and their postal addresses are available,

7   How many time this vehicle has committed traffic offences, such records are available,

8   If such vehicle comes on road, an alarm can be, generated in control room, such system is also available.

Then what is the problem?

The officers say

We have collected so many lakhs rupees on penalty, this indicates we are not sitting idle,

We have issued so many notices to the offenders and so many reminders to pay unpaid penalty. We are not inactive,

We have conducted so many public awareness drive days,

We have conducted so much seminars for public awareness,

We have distributed so many rose flowers to public to show our soft corner with them as we are not their enemies,

We have fixed a target for every traffic police to collect penalty,

If you would permit us to increase the penalty amount, we can also increase our target (resultantly we can have our own target of Tax Free, left hand amount)

 ———————————————

Ultimately;

The ministry does not want to change the rule and the current system of collecting the penalty.

The ministry does not like to introduce a rule for automatic debit to offenders account, and credit to the RTO account, if the offender does not pay the penalty or the offender, does not come forward to submit his SAY, with in 15 days of the receipt of the Notice of offence committed, or an application to extend the time limit with reason.

The ministry also does not want to change the software system, which can give an alert alarm in the control room, so that the control room can ask the mobile van of the police to indicate the offending vehicle is on road, and the police can seize it.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO COLLECT THE PENALTY.

BUT THE RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS/MINISTER WHO ARE PAID FOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, SAY THAT WE WANT TO BE REMAIN UNCULTURED. MATTER IS RELATED WITH OUR TAX-FREE INCOM, because …*.

THAT IS WHY WE SAY THE PUBLIC IS LAGGING IN TRAFFIC SENSE.
