Die. Drivers Die.

This is an everyday phenomena. Every evening I walk down the street, on my way back home and within ten meters of me walking comes a huge car with extra bright headlights, blinding me and almost making me bang into people, poles, cars, bikes anything in front of me. You name it.

This honestly is intolerable, every five meters that you walk comes such a wannabe car or bike trying to make you and all pedestrians blind. Its criminal the way these jerks drive around on the streets not bothering about the law that they are breaking.
"Well, unlike many of you know, a law exists (atleast in the Indian Constitution) that the headlights of a car should be on dipper (lowered and dimmed to notice the road) unless acknowledging another car where it can be made brighter briefly.
However, in cities, where there are enough street lights, there is hardly any reason to acknowledge other cars and in case one does acknowledge another car, it is only for a short period of time, and after which one must put the headlights on to dipper. But those who do not do this are actually breaking laws.

Imagine flashing a bright torchlight into someone eye. It hurts, and continual or repetitive exposure can cause eye damage. Not only does this harm pedestrians, it also increases the risk of accidents. If you decide to roam around with a torch in your hand that you flash at every driver who is driving on the road, you might be yelled at probably taken to jail for increasing the chance of accidents, but is it not the same thing drivers do to other opposing vehicles? Flashing them hard lights which can lead to higher accidents possibilities?

It is mean and snobby for such drivers and people should honestly respect pedestrians and as protest everyone should follow me, flip the bird at such maniacs or yell at them and call them idiots. But just make sure they are not some gang or some sort of thugs that decide to beat you up. Its a fight for all of us pedestrians, and in case you belong to the driver category. Behave yourself and spread the word around.
