Reckless driving

I would like to draw the attention of the traffic police in Pakistan towards the issue of reckless driving that plagues every city. It is high time that proper steps were taken to put a stop to the kind of reckless driving that can be witnessed on the roads and streets of our thickly populated cities, such as Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.

Just few days ago, I saw a poor old beggar narrowly escaping from being run over by a car going at a very high speed. The beggar was crossing the street when the car came dashing along. I would like to emphasise that the police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding speed limits.
