FOLLOW TRAFFIC RULES “Traffic Rules are the simplest of our country’s laws. But when implemented, it paints a country of strong law.” - Alex Lacson This is absolutely true, to think that traffic rules are the easiest law to follow and learn. Since we are confronted by it everyday, whether were going school, work or anywhere. It is the simplest of our laws and yet many are still violating it as if it is really hard to follow and memorize the rules imposed with it. If traffic rules are hard for us Filipinos to lean, how much more others laws of our country is implementing and imposing. It just shows that many of us Filipinos are non-discipline and really doesn’t want to contribute for the betterment of our country. Imagine if only all of us knows and understand traffic rules, how pleasing to see in the eyes of anyone that everything in the road is placed in order. Did you know that following traffic rules promotes us as a people of good manners and discipline especially in the eyes of the world? In this light each of us has a great contribution in creating a good image for our country through discipline. Let me give to you the many rewards in following traffic rules. One of these is it can save lives ‒ either yours, your love ones or the innocent ones on the road. It can save lives from accidents, hearts attacks, or from guns of angry and trigger ‒ happy drivers. It can bring you home alive and in one piece. It can also save money from car repairs, as well as headaches from quarrelling with the other car driver. Another benefit we can derive from following traffic rules is cultural in nature. Cutting a person’s lane or right of way is one of the worse traffic violations there is. When you cut the lane or right of way of another driver, you show complete lack of respect for that other driver as well as all those who are following the line. When you do it, you are being selfish and unfair to those who came before you. Literally, you step on their toes. Isn’t it disrespectful? Since traffic rules are the simplest law yet is very crucial in manifesting national discipline, why not start to practice following it? If we do act on it repeatedly everyday, it could become a habit and then a national discipline. Let’s do our share in making our country a better place starting from following the simplest law and that’s following the traffics rules.
