Answer the following questions
Q- What does the phrase ‘rule of the road’ mean?
The phrase ‘rule of the road’ means the set of regulations and norms that govern how people should behave when traveling on roads or streets.
Q- How would individual liberty become social lawlessness?
Individual liberty would become social lawlessness when people exercise their freedoms without considering how their actions affect others. For example, if everyone decided to drive however they pleased without following traffic laws, it would lead to chaos and danger on the roads.
Q- Explain with an example: ‘Personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people’s liberty.’
‘Personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people’s liberty’ means that while individuals have the freedom to do as they please within their own personal space, they must consider the rights and freedoms of others when their actions intersect with those of others. For instance, someone may enjoy playing loud music late at night, but if it disturbs their neighbors’ right to sleep peacefully, their personal liberty is restricted by the liberty of others to enjoy a quiet environment.
Q- What does the essayist mean by Can’t you announce your coming like a gentleman?’
The essayist means that instead of using aggressive and rude behavior, individuals should act in a courteous and respectful manner. In this context, ‘announcing your coming like a gentleman’ implies driving with consideration for others, such as using turn signals and yielding when necessary, rather than behaving aggressively or recklessly on the road.
