Rules Meant To Be Broken?

Just a couple of days ago, I was on my way to Bhaktapur. I was waiting for my friend at Tinkune when I saw a rally coming. It was the group of people marking gathered to mark the 24 Chaitra's Jana Andolan day. I don't remember if it was Jana Andolan first or second. Well, it wasn't important compared to what I saw.

The sight astonished me. I saw three adult boys on a single bike pass in front of a traffic police. She did nothing at all - no punishment, no fine, nothing at all. She just let it go. I wondered about the rule for bikers that let only two adult people on a bike. No punishment, no fine for them? Why? Just because they were involved in the rally? Isn't there any rule for them? OK, escort them, give them space, do whatever you like but without breaching the rules. If the traffic police do not follow traffic rules how do they expect the commoners to do so???

She would have charged if it was someone else but just a flag on the bike and it is free. Wow, what a law!! That's ridiculous. Rules are not only for commoners but for all, EVERYONE. Do they have the right to break the rule? Are the rules meant to be broken???

  1. The woman traffic police might be wrong, who allowed the bike to break the rule.
