Wasting taxpayers’ time

Letter February 04, 2014
I am taxpaying citizen and expect that when I go to renew my traffic licence, my entire day is not wasted.

A few days ago, I went to the office of the traffic police in Attock to renew my driving licence. When I reached the office, I was told to bring two passport size photographs, postal stamps and a fitness certificate from a doctor. This meant that I had to leave the office and get all these things done so my trip was completely wasted. My question to the traffic police authorities is: Why do they make life difficult for us? I am a taxpaying citizen and I expect that when I go to renew my traffic licence, my entire day is not wasted in the process.
