Why are you not jumping the signal?

Last week I was out with a real estate broker to find a place to shift. The reasons for shifting are many. That is not the point here.
I reached Kothaguda chowk and stopped at the signal after seeing it red. (I stick to the rules of the road). This broker who was sitting on the back seat, goes - "Chale jao sir. Koi police nahin hai. Bindaas chale jao". I do not recollect what came to mind at that time, but then after crossing the signal,

Usmaan- "Kitne saalon se Hyderabad mein ho saab?" (How long have been in Hyderabad?)

Me - "It's been 5 years"

Usmaan - "Fir signal pe roka kyon?" (Then why did you stop at the signal?)

Me - "Red signal mein stop karna hai" (You have to stop at the red signal)

Usmaan - "Woh theek hai saab. Yahaan pe logon ko signal thodne mein mazaa aatha hai. Kaun signal follow kartha hai saab? Jahaan pe U-turn nahin lena hai, wahaan pe U-Turn lena hai. Jahaan pe one way hai, wahaan pe wrong side mein chalana hai. " (That's ok. People have fun jumping signals here(HYD). Who follows signals? You have to take U-turn where U-turn is not allowed. You have to drive the wrong way if it is labeled "one-way")

The scariest thing this 70% of people in Hyderabad feel the same way. I do not think there is slightest chance that the traffic sense will get any better. Roads are going to remain crowded and the condition of roads is going to remain as is.
