Traffic rules are not for the privileged who can afford nice cars witj airbags and good medical care, the are more useful for the people who cant.
Thankfully there is this virus going around and we can all see the correlation between the wealth of the people and their propensity to break rules.
What correlation do you observe? Where i am, it seems all rich and poor follow the rules (with some minor exceptions). I mean makes sense who wants to get sick?

This shows how difficult it is for the common man to follow the rules. I am sure the rich people in Mumbai are following social distancing.
Re breaking rules: I think it is more of a spectrum. As you become richer, you become more able to follow the 'nicer' rules. Poor people generally don't go around murdering for example, but I did see a lot of relatively smaller rules broken.
I am sure there is a very human mix of laziness, mob mentality, corruption that feed into it - but his meta point is still true: Some rules are meant for privileged people.
Unless the party line is that 'you should be willing to die for your morals': There are very few who live by this and I admire them a lot. But I like a more practical approach to life - meaning the above anecdote consoles me.
