So What Will You Lose ?

... if you stand aside and make way for those passengers in the sardine-packed elevators/passenger cars to make their exit first before you make your elegant entry onboard ?

... if you stop yourself from the habit of pressing the 'Close Door' button in the lift immediately after you entered the lift and after (or for sometimes even worse, before) you pressed the button for your floor ?

... if you stop your car in front of that zebra/tiger crossing for a while to let that kid cross the road ?

... if you slow down your car a little and let that car in front of you (whose driver was polite enough to put up a signal light) to enter the lane you're on ?

... if you refrain from pressing that proud car honk of yours to the car in front of you the second the green light blinks ?

... if you spend some time finding the actual end of the queue in front of that counter ?

... if you not hog the right lane of the expressway with 77 KM/H ? (The speed limit's 90 unless told, BTW.)

... if you put up your signal 10 seconds before you make your turn on that junction (instead of putting it up WHEN you turn) ?

Well, there's nothing for you to lose if you can be considerate and patient on the road.

In fact, you'd gain something. A pleasant experience. A smile. A way to improve yourself socially. And to the unseen eye, a good karmic seed for yourself for being a good driver/pedestrian.
