And the big difference there is that even on a two-lane highway, the people on the left lane will stick to the extreme left in case of a jam, and the people on the extreme right will stick to the extreme right in case of a jam, leaving the centre lane open for emergency vehicles to pass through, which is something that does not really require infrastructure. It just requires a little bit of respect towards the emergency vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch the clip here:<\/p>\n<p>He posted the video with the caption, \u201cthink we\u2019re capable of this discipline here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Online reactions pour in<\/p>\n<p>The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 165,000 views and drawing several responses from viewers who resonated with his observation. Many users expressed both frustration and agreement over the state of road discipline in India.<\/p>\n<p>One viewer commented, \u201cThis is exactly the problem, we do not lack rules but we lack discipline and civic sense.\u201d Another said, \u201cThe day we learn to respect lanes and emergency vehicles will be the day Indian roads transform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the chorus, a user wrote, \u201cEven basic courtesy is missing here, people just want to get ahead at any cost.\u201d Another reaction noted, \u201cIn Europe, it comes naturally, while here everyone drives like it is a race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChange will take time, but awareness like this can slowly make a difference,\u201d a user remarked. Another viewer said, \u201cWe need stricter enforcement, only then will people start following these practices.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Indian man\u2019s candid video comparing traffic jams in Pune with those in Germany has stirred a lively&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":442413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[149532,68865,2000,299,16756,1824,50379,149533,149531],"class_list":{"0":"post-442412","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-civic-sense","9":"tag-emergency-vehicles","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-german","13":"tag-germany","14":"tag-pune","15":"tag-stricter-enforcement","16":"tag-traffic-jam"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115245944128202327","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
