I would like to emphasise that the police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding speed limits
KARACHI: I would like to draw the attention of the Traffic Police Department of Karachi towards reckless driving. It is high time that proper steps are taken to put a stop to reckless driving in the city. Just few days ago, a poor old beggar narrowly escaped being run over by a car going at a very high speed. The beggar was crossing a street when a car came dashing along seemingly at a speed above 100 kilometres an hour.
This is just one such incident and many women and children who try to cross roads also fall victim to reckless driving. Fatal accidents occur daily. Undoubtedly, regulations regarding speed limit exist in the city, but drivers pay no heed. The police also take little or no notice of these offenders; therefore, accidents are almost a daily occurrence.
I would like to emphasise that the police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding speed limits and the public must bring pressure to bear upon the police and other authorities to put a stop to reckless and negligent driving.
