When policemen flout the law

Letter November 24, 2014
Do the custodians of law have even an iota of shame pricking their conscience while flouting traffic rules?

LAHORE: “When all the traffic is coming your way from the opposite direction, it means you are moving in the wrong lane,” goes the saying.

Coming out of the Lahore Gymkhana Golf Club every morning, I find policemen riding two-wheelers and police mobiles moving in the wrong direction to reach Qurban (Police) Lines via a shortcut, forcing me to think that it is I who is moving in the wrong lane. Do the custodians of law have even an iota of shame pricking their conscience while flouting traffic rules?
