“Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac.” – A Smart driver


At some point in life we all have complained about the traffic. It is funny how we get irritated with rash and idiotic driving when we are walking on the road and then we do the same thing when are driving. Our CAS coordinator and juniors decided to take the initiative of explaining traffic rules to the society. Our class with juniors planned the activity, but we weren't able to participate in all activities because of our submissions.

The activity in which we took part was a march we did near the school. The marched from our school to an energy plant, which is about 2 km away from our school. This was a new challenge for us. Our juniors and we made some board signs with traffic safety slogans. We carried it till we reached there. There we distributed pamphlets about traffic safety and also explain every employees about the traffic rules.



This was an amazing experience and wonderful opportunity to help our society learn more about traffic rules. Most of us know the rules but don’t follow it. I believe, the real courage is not in breaking the signal when there is a traffic police officer watching, real courage is in stopping and waiting even when no one is watch. We worked collaboratively for this activity and completed it successfully.
