In my endeavour to educate my readers and admirers(!) about the need to follow road rules I am giving below the not-so-publicised details of penalties you should happily pay in the following circumstances.

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please keep this going and tell all your friends.
Next to pedestrians they are the most vulnerable and at the same time major breakers of rules on road. Neither are they bothered nor the traffic police bother to discipline them. They will appear from anywhere, cut across one way, jump signal, zig zag between vehicles but the onus is on you to apply the brake. After all you are a motorist.
This is a sequel to my post on 4th about my accident. The orthopedic at the hospital where I was taken to immediately after the accident diagnosed broken wrist joint and recommended surgery and fixing of plate as it is not just bone but a joint. But he said that it is not emergency and I have seven days to undergo that operation. I thought his logic of having a plate fixed as sound but wanted to have it nearer my home if possible and came away with the x-rays.
Next day I went to an orthopedic who is also a professor in a renowned government medical college. His initial reaction was one of incredulity when I mentioned the recommendation and was irritated to say the least. “We teach them not to do surgery unless absolutely necessary but once they start practicing they forget because of their commitments”. So saying he just recommended further casting of the wrist which, he said, will heal in 4 weeks. By the way, he put a casting which is hard like POP but light. My arm is out of the slings, but the disability remains. I am resigned to the fact that I have to type only with my left hand. Maybe I should post some videos to avoid typing:-)
edit on 12th: Same thing happened in 2002 when I slipped and fell, from a bike, due to sand on road and sand in road layer’s head. X-rays showed hair line crack. The first doctor recommended nothing but sling and rest. His senior recommended plate. Incidentally he was a retired professor from a renowned government medical college!
