Two wheelers coming on the wrong side & on footpaths at great speed with high beam lights (even during time) is becoming far too common. Those on the right side or walking on the footpaths are left to fend for themselves…Traffic police stand in corners at which senior citizens find it difficult to negotiate & stop them to check documents while speedsters have their way/day..! Alack & alas..!
