ISLAMABAD: Someone has said that if you really want to know any nation’s mentality you must observe its traffic system.

For instance, if someone looks at our traffic system, they will surely be amazed at our ways. There is a lot of reckless driving, no checks and balances, a lack of discipline, speeding and so on. These are the main causes of the frequent road accidents. The authorities need to pay attention to the maintenance of vehicles and other reasons mentioned above, which are responsible for traffic accidents in our country.
