I live in Bhopal,which has a sizable population of scooters and motorbikes crowding the streets everyday.
The difference between the people who drove earlier and the new drivers is this peculiar habit of leaving the headlights on,even during daytime.The older drivers did not have much to choose from,took great care of their hard earned asset-the scooter.
The new generation,is a different cup of tea altogether-brash,arrogant and with an insatiable desire for speed.
I feel,with the advent of automatic ignitions,when these drivers,switch on their engines,they forget to check if they have switched on their headlight as well.They do not seem to comprehend the problem faced by the pedestrians or other drivers of the street.
Everyone of these drivers are in a hurry-youngsters,be it students or well dressed yuppies and rustics,who have just switched from bicycles to scooters and motorbikes.
To them moving at breakneck speed is of paramount importance,the preservation of engines,which is overloaded with constant burning of the headlight bulb,is of no concern.
Depleting the global energy resource is of no concern to them either and least of all is the harm being done to the environment.
They can or their parents can afford the EMIs,that is what matters most and to reach whatever destination they are going to at the fastest possible speed-matters.No matter what happens to their asset-the scooter,the excess energy consumed or the damage done to the environment.
