If motorists and drivers around you suddenly start following traffic rules in the next few weeks, you may have Armin Wandrewala to thank for it. The lawyer and writer started a movement called SOOR — which stands for Sanity On Our Roads — on July 21, that purports to turn citizens into traffic watchdogs. The idea is to get citizens to persuade errant motorists to abide by rules and keep road discipline. It has already garnered support from over 830 volunteers across the country on Facebook. Volunteers will try to resolve traffic issues by educating violators with active participation from the general public.
