The question is: what is then? Could they have been little more diplomatic? Yes, sure.
But other diplomatic approaches like having a chair ready by footpath and make them sit there and clap them honoring their illegal crossing. It is not a new. They did it several years ago and most of you probably remember that came in news.

We are not too law-abiding historically. येस्सो अलिकति त हो नि kinda mentality prevails us.
But these are not just any other law, in a split second we could loose our lives. And it is happening more and more. One idiot goes into the traffic, gets killed and these people will be first ones to burn tires.

Do motorist have to follow the law as well? Of course. It is a very shared responsibility.

So given the unrulyness, I don't see anything uncivic about it.
