We all know, how wrong the wrong way is, but we still do it. Why? Because we always have the right reasons:
It’s an emergency.
I am late.
Let’s save on time and importantly fuel.
The route otherwise is unfairly long.
No one cares, why should I?
A little traffic violation won’t kill anyone for god sake, relax.
Chalta hai, chalta hai.
The problem in that essentially is that since so many of us are doing it, a whole lot of wrong way traffic comes back to us in pointless traffic jams. As seen on Saturdays and Sundays, and especially from the bikers.
For the next time, I’m making a promise to myself to wait for the traffic to clear. I’ll record a clip and post it as evidence even. See if you want to try the same, wait in your lane instead of cramping in or finding a wrong way out. Someone’s got to do it.
Stay tuned for my reality clip.
