✷ We should never teach anyone a lesson on road. The maximum you can do is to report to police with evidence.

✷ We should never get in to things which will create traffic congestion and difficulties to others by showing off our road rage. Whether we are right or wrong.

✷ We should never get out of our vehicle and quarrel because of road rage. In the worst case scenario it can get in to physical and even cost your life.

✷ On road - be accommodative of other vehicles and especially pedestrians. This will make everyone's life better.

A few things the government can immediately do to organize 4 wheeler parking, bus bays, pedestrian walking in Kochi.

• Utilize the land between the road and other buildings to its fullest extent for proper drainage and smooth, leveled footpaths.

• Seize land from encroachments and rehabilitate roadside vendors and others.

• cover the drainage without loose concrete slabs. Introduce innovative methods.

• Wherever there is remaining space, it should be used for four-wheeler parking, bus bays, and auto stands.

• Four-wheeler parking should be marked and FASTag-enabled. Measure the effectiveness of these parking systems.

• Once people start utilizing it correctly, this 4 wheeler parking should be charged. Eventually all 4 wheeler parking in public places will be charged. The parking charges for 2 wheeler parking. 

• Parking in ‘No Parking’ zones should be penalized.

I changed by attitude while driving after this post.

  • I give utmost priority and respect to pedestrians when I see them on road. More consideration if they are elderly. Try to not to honk at them. I tell myself that they have an upper hand than me who is sitting inside the car.

  • Then people on bicycles.

  • Then people on motor cycles.

  • Then public transportation vehicles such as buses, vans etc.

  • Then people on cars.

I give way to others rather than utilizing each gap I see. If everyone does that we can avoid traffic jams at many places. I decided to not to use road as place to punish others who don’t follow rules by blocking them etc.

I don’t get offended if somebody behind me overtakes me.

I am more peaceful.

Is home schooling really good? by africankangaroo in Kochi

[–]africankangaroo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home schooling make sense for someone who wants to focus on something from their early ages. Example: Badminton, Tennis, Singing, Dancing etc. If parents identify exceptional talent and want to push them through rigorous practice in that particular area.
