Comments : Camilo Fernandes In response to JoeGoaUK's below video clip Where is the traffic sense/Our traffic cops not fit for their jobs? The drivers are only interested in their own convenience than in following traffic rules. The reason is as and when they are caught and penalised the penalty is so meagre and is easily affordable. This too could easily be waived by bribing the trafffic cops. I dont think our traffic cops are not fit for their jobs but on the contrary if there is an incentive they would rise to the occasion. In India unlike western countries, corruption is a part of life. Added to this are the meagre salaries that the cops get so getting bribes is easy money and getting richer quicker. I dont know how far it is practical but I feel if CTV cameras are installed on D.B. Road, Campel and fines issued on a daily basis based on the evidence, overnight illegal parking taking place as of now would be stopped. This would also end bribing by drivers to the cops. Maybe an incentive to the cops i.e. 5% or 10% of the penalties collected would boost their morale. If this is expensive alternatively on a regular random time, video clippings like the one shown by JoeGoaUk in his video would also help in this illegal parking. It is only due to non enforcement of the law that this illegal parking takes place. If these same drivers were driving in the west, they would never dare to illegally park their vehicles. Indians when in our own country break all laws but the same Indians abroad are a totally different lot, a disciplined refined lot. Best wishes, Dev borem korum Camilo Fernandes Our Traffic Cops not fit for their jobs? ? check this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjd61FIOtqA ? What about the drivers? Too lazy to walk a little distance? or perhaps, the parking fine should be revised to Rs.1,000 The present Rs.100 fine is too little to rich car owners? Rs.100 is nothing now a day. It's average cha/bhaji rate for two. Or the cops pocketing?half of it say Rs.50 and?set the errant driver free? ? There were so many cops, some were hiding from our camera. One came to us and said 'They are are not listening, they don't care we told them there is plenty of place down there. Rs.100 is too little' ?
