Traffic and common man

Pune traffic, is one of the struggles, people have to go through for reaching to and from work.
People here consider themselves lucky if they happen to get green signal while travelling.
I being pupil of pune,have to face this traffic and put in efforts to drive and get to and from work as most of the population.
Here is area called "Nal Stop", where the traffic while drive you mad, as the road is small and the number of vehicles make congestion heavy.

Traffic police put in their efforts to manage the traffic,but what I feel bad is that although police make so many efforts , people do break the rules whenever and wherever possible.
To my surprise , I happen to stop beside the auto ,who had to stop the vehicle as directed by  the police. The lady in the auto started shouting at driving ,why didn't you go, the other guy went,
Auto driver told her humbly that he cannot go as police directed him to stop.

Then the dialogue between driver and lady went as follows:
Lady: "I am daughter of DCP"
Driver:"Whoever you are , I cannot go as the police is in front of auto"
Lady:"You should have gone, police wont stop as I am daughter of DCP,I would have talked to him"
And then she made some calls to someone , screaming at them that I am daughter of DCP, why are there so many signals on this road , why cant you manage it , blah blah.
Here , What I fail to understand is , Being the daughter of high profile person, you should be humble person and should follow the rules that common man follows to set the ideal in front of people,
But this is completely different and unexpected behavior.
On top of that, why scream on driver , if you think you are of such a important person , get the car with red light on it , so people and police would let you go.

"The higher we are placed , the more humbly we should walk" they say..think over it
