Traffic rule violation by the powerful

Traffic rule violation by the powerful

Thanks for the excellent front page report and photos published in your esteemed newspaper on September 2, 2014. I wish the influential people violating the traffic rules read this. I wonder how an army vehicle takes the wrong side of the road just to avoid traffic jam. Can any civilian dare to drive in the wrong side in the cantonment area? The same can be said about our political leaders who give a damn about the traffic rules and get away with police protection. Even the buses carrying university students (mostly DU and JnU) very often use wrong sides to avoid jam. These things happen before the eyes of the traffic police, but they can't do anything as the violators are so powerful.

These shameless influentials should be ashamed of themselves.
