‘D’ FOR DISCIPLINE 1. A friend who went on a trip to Canada, came back, very impressed with the courtesy shown by drivers on the roads there. Like all of us, he was used to chaos on the streets and the absolute disregard for anyone else walking or driving on the same route. 2. So he was astonished to see that the minute he put one foot off the pavement, cars on both sides of the road stopped at once; waited for him to cross; even if he had not yet walked up to the zebra crossing. 3. The first couple of times this thing happened, he froze, wondering what he had done to stop the traffic. But the cars just waited patiently till he crossed the road, with no angry honking or anyone putting his head out of the car window to scream. 4. Unfortunately, discipline is a trait lacked by the majority of Indians. All of us must have been guilty at some time or the other, of dashing across the street, making the nearest driver slam his breaks in panic. 5. Drivers are even less disciplined than pedestrians. How many of them slow down at zebra crossing and intersections? How many stop at a red light, if there are no cops around? 6. I’ve seen a Delhi driver arguing when he was stopped for trying to zip by at a red light. 7. When discipline is inculcated in people you see cars stopping at a red light, even when there is no traffic for miles around. Nobody tries to overtake a row of waiting for cars and zip ahead, even if there is no traffic coming from the opposite side. 8. In India it's not just the problem of road discipline, people crash queues if they can get away with it. They try clothes in a shop and leave them in a heap on the floor. They do not bother to stop a moment to hold the door and let it slam into the face of the person behind them. 9. There is no point even getting into the littering and spitting menace. Years of teachers’ droning and parents’ scolding has failed to instil discipline. Surprisingly, one trip to Singapore or Canada brings out the desired result. Q4. “One trip to Singapore or Canada brings out the desired result” (paragraph 9). Which result is being referred to here?
