Traffic sense with a bit of Humanity

Yesterday i was going back to my place after work , as usual in that heavy traffic i was seeing outside the window and thinking about that day's work and wondering how people driving bikes are so rash even in that heavy jam...

Almost everyone outside were returning homes from office so they are in a hurry to go early while cursing the narrow roads for making them waste their time in the pollution instead of at a gym or a Yoga session...

I was about to start a conversation with my friend sitting beside suddenly we heard one sound probably a horn non stop from some distance... But as it is nearing we realised that it was an Ambulance... I saw there is almost a kilometer of vehicles piled up in 5 or 6 rows on that narrow road giving no place for others to come or even not giving others a chance to move...
Its almost 15 Min's but the traffic dint even move 150 meters and the Ambulance siren was still echoing without fail... We could not concentrate on our conversation simply,instead we had our conversation turning towards the driving sense of people..... Not even one person who are driving either cars or buses gave way to that Ambulance ... whenever the traffic moves they used to move instead giving way to the ambulance..... Its too ridiculous...

Why nobody thinks of the emergency that is prevailing in that situation....
Think about the family who called that ambulance in an attempt to save their dear one's ,, how they will feel with the late arrival of the vehicle and rescue team..... Sometimes its the matter of a few minutes the life of a person depends upon.. And sometimes it is that time it can turn the fate of an entire family...

It is the basic thing we have learned that why the front of an Ambulance is not written properly instead of its mirror image....??? Hope we all know this... at least all the people who are having a driving license and who are good enough to drive their own vehicles on the road.....
The only thing they can do is give place for the ambulance to move on instead going on whenever the traffic moves.... A few minutes late arrival to the home or office really does not change your life entirely or it is not a very big matter..... But it is not the case with the people who are waiting for that Ambulance....

Please learn Humanity along with driving.....
That will give you happiness along with the pleasure of riding...
Take care of you and also others while driving.... :-))

p.s. This is for all the people who are in a hurry that they even don't notice whats happening outside

Heartening to see that my friends have so much concern.I am with you.

This reminds me of Henry Davies's masterpiece

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
