Good point Vaqas1.
The space that you show on your picture, is called the Emergency Road Shoulder - It is used in case of Emergency, i.e. The tire gets flat, the car break down.
The Emergency vehicles and Police sometimes use it to move away from the Traffic Jam, but NO ONE ELSE is allowed to go on it, even if there is no Police Around, NO ONE DARES to drive on it.
People have such a disdain for the people violating the laws, if somebody tries to drive on it in a traffic Jam, People they will start to HONK HORNS, and try to STOP that person, if they are using it without an Emergency. [/highlight]
That's right and is called collective conscience of a society that we unfortunately do not have. We all want our share but never want to give others their due.
I know of a swiss (or some other scandanvian country) minister whose family left him for taking a bribe. Whole of society refused him and even the barber (yes a barber) would not cut his hair. He was refused by everyone and he ultimately had to commit suicide because no one would even talk to him.
This is called a society. Imagine this in Pakistan where people want to make links with influential people no matter how bad he or she is.
