A cautionary message (actually a warning!) on a signboard I had read while driving up to a hill station flashes in my mind.
#
Time: early morning, about 6.00 a.m. Place: Sai Baba Chowk Crossing on Lala Jagat Narayan Marg in Rohini, Delhi. It is a major crossing; the intersecting roads get clogged with traffic as the day progresses. But at this time, not many vehicles are on the road. The traffic signal is red and a taxi is waiting. I stop behind the taxi. A spanking new SUV whizzes past … the red light be damned!
After about a month I read in the newspaper about a smash-up at Madhuban Chowk on the same road involving an SUV and a truck … and the death of the car driver on the spot!

The message on the signboard was:
‘Better to reach twenty minutes late than to reach twenty years too early. DRIVE SLOW!’
