Viral Video: Army jawan teaches lane discipline to traffic violator ‘army style’, netizens impressed

A video is going viral on the internet where a traffic violator driving on the wrong side of the road refuses to budge until an army jawan decides to teach him lane discipline, the army style!

Bengaluru has dubious distinction of being one of the most developed cities in the country alongwith one having the most congested roads. Rapid urbanization, unplanned growth and disregard for traffic rules have made Bengaluru roads notorious for traffic hazards.

Amidst all this, a video has emerged, recorded on his dashcam and shared by user Madhur (@ThePacardGuy), where an army jawan is seen disciplining a traffic violator. As the video begins, a man on a two-wheeler is seen driving and stopping in the wrong lane at a signal, blocking the way for upcoming traffic. On being told to move to the correct lane, he blatantly refuses. Seeing all this is an army jawan in a military truck waiting at the signal. He decides to take matters in his own hands and gets down to teach some lane discipline to the violator. Even after this, when the violator does not seem to listen, then the jawan heads back to the truck to retrieve what can be seen as a baton or a stick to escalate things further.

In the meantime, a traffic cop approaches and takes over from there, ordering the violator to move to the correct lane.

Since its sharing, the video has gained over 516 k views, 561 likes and 1.4k reposts.

Many users reacted to the clip by sharing comments and their opinions.

“I would gladly pay more taxes to have army trucks patrol Bangalore roads every day,” wrote one user. “Those coming from the wrong side should be slapped and spanked before being fined and having their vehicle impounded,” commented another. 

“These guys only tend to follow rules if there is someone to implement them with a stick,” expressed a third user. “Sadly, our beloved Indian army has to intervene to control these pests internally rather than focusing just on the enemies across the border. Wish we could have better enforcement of rules of land by the state police itself and punish offenders more aggressively,” said a fourth user. 

“I am all for giving traffic police, including the home guards who help at traffic lights, the right to use the lathi on offenders. Make it a public offence that deserves punishment on the spot. This nuisance and risk needs to be mitigated,” commented another.
