When I originally took this snap I thought the rider was a mechanic or some sort of support staff riding the traffic sergeant’s bike. But later when I uploaded the picture to the PC I noticed that the rider was wearing the traffic warden’s uniform trouser. But these things are besides the point.

My motivation for clicking were the absence of helmet – something considered mandatory in Lahore – and the black bag dangerously blocking the rider’s front view. I wonder what would another traffic warden do if he sees this rider “breaking the law”!!! Would he intercept this guy and hand him the traffic violation fine?

I must be kidding to expect that!!!
