Date: 10/06/2026 Time: Approximately 09:29 PM Location: Kodigehalli Gate, Airport Road U-Turn, Dasarahalli Road Starting Point, Bengaluru On the evening of 10 June 2026, light rainfall resulted in severe traffic congestion in and around Kodigehalli Gate. Long queues of vehicles had formed on the Main Road, Service Road, and extended up to Byatarayanapura Signal. As a Traffic Warden and volunteer, I was assisting the Traffic Police and Home Guard personnel in managing and clearing traffic while wearing a reflective jacket. I was stationed at the U-Turn point, while a Home Guard was regulating traffic on the Service Road. We were working in coordination to reduce congestion and maintain smooth traffic movement. At approximately 09:25 PM, a white Innova vehicle attempted to enter the Service Road by taking a U-Turn and proceeding in the wrong direction. The Home Guard on duty stopped the driver and instructed him not to proceed, but he refused to comply. An argument continued for nearly five minutes. I then approached the driver and explained that there was heavy traffic congestion ahead and advised him to use an alternative route. However, he refused to follow my instructions and insisted on driving on the wrong side, claiming that he needed to enter his company premises located approximately 100 meters ahead. The situation became more serious when the driver allegedly attempted to drive his vehicle toward me on three separate occasions. I immediately called 112 and informed the Control Room about the incident. During the confrontation, the driver challenged me by stating, “No one can do anything to me.” I subsequently informed the Inspector of Hebbal Traffic Police Station about the incident. Acting promptly, he directed the traffic staff deployed at Kodigehalli Signal to respond to the scene. Both parties were then taken to the police station. However, upon reaching the police station, the outcome left me disappointed. After hearing both sides, the driver was issued a fine of only ₹500 and was allowed to leave. Several important questions still remain: • Attempting to drive on the wrong side of the road. • Obstructing traffic and contributing to congestion for nearly 30 minutes. • Ignoring instructions issued by personnel managing traffic. • Allegedly attempting to intimidate and drive a vehicle toward a person. • Displaying threatening and aggressive behavior. Are all of these actions serious enough to warrant only a ₹500 fine? I was also informed that the matter was treated lightly because the driver had not misbehaved with a Traffic Police Officer. If that is indeed the reasoning, it raises a serious concern: Are the safety, dignity, and contributions of Traffic Wardens and volunteers considered less important? I am not writing this post against any individual. Rather, I am raising a broader question. If a person intentionally attempts to drive a vehicle toward a citizen, volunteer, or Traffic Warden, should such conduct not be treated more seriously? For many years, I have voluntarily assisted the Traffic Police and have always remained committed to serving the public interest. My only objective is to ensure that in the future, any volunteer, Traffic Warden, or ordinary citizen facing a similar situation receives appropriate protection, respect, and justice. This incident also highlights another important concern. We often see that many people hesitate to help accident victims or assist during emergencies. One of the primary reasons is the belief that even after helping, their concerns may not be taken seriously, they may not receive adequate support, or they may become entangled in unnecessary complications. As a result, many people prefer to stay away from such situations.

An Indian man was seen driving recklessly. He blew stop signs, passing by cyclists at full speed, and nearly causing multiple accidents. His justification? That he is from India. This is not India. You can follow our rules you should not be able to drive. You can't adapt to our culture, you should be able to come to our country. Simple as that.

An elephant was walking right in the middle of the road in a forest area, effectively blocking it. Even then, a sports bike rider, trying to act smart, attempted to squeeze past the elephant from the side. He didn't wait even a little for the elephant to move away. The elephant immediately got angry and charged at him, seemingly trying to attack him. The biker sped away in panic, but his bike fell off the side of the road, and he had to run on foot to save himself. He narrowly escaped with his life. Such reckless people put not only their own lives at risk because of their stupidity, but also the lives of others.

Glad he can still see the funny side of it 😅 🎥 Sai Sudharsan on his back-to-back bizarre dismissals \|/ #TATAIPL | #Qualifier2 | #TheFinalLeap | #GTvRR | @gujarat_titans
