It is not only the issue with those who are driving fast to get ahead always. But it is a problem with the drivers stopping on a traffic signal when it is red. It is lack of patience. Drivers don’t even possess ‘p’ of patience. No one stops behind the stop line. They can wait for 110 seconds out of 120 but last 10 seconds is the period that showcases their impatience.
They don’t even care about the allotted space for pedestrians to cross the roads. Zebra crossings are just the decoration part. Even pedestrians who are quite vulnerable to the road accidents don’t care to use zebra crossing to get to other side of the road. They just jump on it and start walking in the middle of heavy traffic.
Remember the TV advertisement of a tyre company in which a biker stops an inch before the pedestrian to avoid a close encounter. The pedestrian who is busy talking on phone and carrying a baby in his cart doesn’t even realize his mistake and starts scolding the biker.
Well, It shouldn't be considered a 'creative' piece by the adman. It is happening in real life. Everywhere on the road! Cross your fingers when you are on the road.
