TRAFFIC RULES
In India during a drive along the highway or some of the main roads, but also in the city streets you will see nearly one infraction of the traffic rules every minute. And not the small ones, but trespassing the stop light, driving on the wrong side of the highway, completely overloaded 
truck, (not just a little the double of what is allowed), cattle and other animals all this is in the normal repertoire and has far as I could see police is not really interested to restrict these what Indian citizen see as essential freedom of Indian traffic and now suddenly……. 
Now Mumbai police came out of this year long hibernation state and in getting short jail terms for 3 persons who where talking on the mobile phone during driving.
The Maharashtra Motor Vehicle Rule states that the offence of driving and using the mobile phone can attract a fine of Rps 100. But the Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Rules for rash and negligent driving can send them to jail. I hope on a continuation of these reinforced actions
maybe not with the ridiculous exaggerations but with more consequence. For a start the police could take care that the passenger of public transport do not wait as a group of sheep in the middle of the street, provocating accidents, but stay in a queue at the bus-stop as in all civilized countries. Behaving this way, accidents as on Sunday in Delhi were a bus driver (Blue lines of course) killed seven people standing in the middle of the street.

its gud to hear that the traffic police have realized their duties. Avoiding traffic rules have cause lots of deaths especially of the people sleeping on the pavements. Its good to see that the traffic police have gone really strict with the punishment. These days the alcohol test that is been conducted by the police have reduced the consumption of the alcohol with the fear of losing the driving license. I am sure if this continues the road accidents will surely reduce. This is said by the people of India and is shown on http://yoursolutions.co.in
