CTP launches drive against underage drivers

Licences of rickshaw, Qingqi, Suzuki, and motorbike drivers will also be checked

RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi City Traffic Police (CTP) has launched an operation against underage drivers and those not holding driving licences, Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Yousaf Ali Shahid said.

Noting that the operation was being launched following on the directives of Deputy Inspector General of Police, licences of rickshaw, Qingqi, Suzuki, and motorbike drivers would be checked during the campaign.

“Juvenile drivers not only endanger their own lives but also those of other road users,” the CTO said, adding that parents should keep a vigilant eye on their children to avert road accidents.
