A swanky car sports a sticker that says,” YES, I do own the road.”
Sounds humorous, doesn’t it?
Would you really see humor of it if the owner took the message in the sticker seriously?
Unfortunately, a lot of people do think that they own the roads. The result – utter chaos, endless traffic jams and vehicles caught in peak hour traffic, Missed appointments, missed opportunities, maybe even a missed flight, a thought for your hassled fellow commuter who tries his/her best to follow traffic norms, and pays a price for your thoughtlessness, It’s no achievement being a road hog, you don’t score any brownie points .

On the country, you get on the nerves of people who try and wave out of the way in a bid to avoid a head-on collision. Muscat’s roads have too many cars these days, and to that a bunch of thoughtless people who think it’s fashionable to break all the rules. A sticker that says, “Follow rules, it make life simpler”, has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? We don’t own the road folks, it belongs to us all. Let’s drive responsibly, and make sure we do our bit to ease Muscat’s traffic woes... (( The Week- June 11,2008))
