The Modern Himachal (@themodernhp) shared a video that shows a long traffic queue in Shimla. The video was from Shimla’s Tootikandi Bypass and featured a heated traffic argument. The argument started when a car driver, who was travelling with his family, tried to jump the queue of vehicles waiting in traffic.
According to the video, vehicles were moving in an orderly line when the Delhi man decided to enter the opposite lane and move ahead. His action blocked a bus coming from the opposite direction and prevented other vehicles from moving smoothly. This immediately triggered commuters who had been patiently waiting in the queue.
The clip shows the driver stepping out of his car and confronting the driver of a state-run bus. The two got into an argument during the confrontation. The car driver’s reaction further angered other commuters, and several people came out of their vehicles and asked him to move his car back to the end of the queue.
