Public transport drivers to get lectures on road safety

RAWALPINDI: Drivers of public transport know how to drive, but seem unaware of traffic rules. Keeping in view the lack of formal training of people hauling passengers and goods, the Rawalpindi traffic police have decided to give them quick courses in traffic rules and road safety. The Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi, Yousaf Ali Shahid said on Monday that the City Traffic Police (CTP) under a traffic awareness campaign was educating drivers of Public Service Vehicles (PSV) about traffic rules and road safety. He said the education wing of CTP was delivering lectures and distributing pamphlets at different terminals of public service vehicles in the city. The drivers were being given tips about lane and line discipline, traffic rules, road safety and advantages of keeping to the correct lanes.
