For most of us, driving in chaotic Mumbai becomes a bit easier with some relaxing music. But that’s not an option anymore. The Mumbai traffic police has a new diktat. A ban on listening to music in cars because they claim, it distracts drivers. A ban not just on loud music, but on any kind of music.

WTF? What the fucking hell were these people smoking when they came up with this wonderful idea that makes as much as sense as drying the oceans because sometimes your roof leaks when it rains.. arghh!!! No cellphones, now no music. What options do people have when in car and stuck in the never ending traffic jams?

Thanks to ganu for pointing this out in his post and the pictures.

Looks like law and order don’t apply to the judiciary system…

I personally am of the belief that traffic rules should apply to all vehicles (I am okay with exemptions for ambulances, but not for official cars). And it’s kind of interesting to note that we seem to have a different set of laws for those who wield some power (executive, legislature, judiciary) and another set for the normal folks like you and me…

Thanks to the picture of this car belonging to the Judge of Karnataka High Court parked where you and I can’t, we now know that some people are above traffic laws. Bangalore traffic is a power game where those who interpret the laws are not bound by them.
