High time for the authorities to take proper steps to enforce regulations
LAHORE: It is high time for the authorities to take proper steps to put a stop to reckless driving of cars and other vehicles on the streets of our thickly-populated city Karachi. Just two days ago, an old beggar narrowly escaped from being run over by a car moving at a high speed. The beggar was crossing the street when a car came dashing along at a speed above 90 kilometres per hour.
Many women and children trying to cross the roads of this overpopulated city of Karachi have become victims to such reckless driving. This has caused many fatal accidents.
There is no doubt that regulations regarding speed limit do exist, but the drivers pay no heed. The police too take little or no notice of these offenders. Hence, accidents are almost a daily occurrence.
The police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding speed limit. The public, being the worst sufferers, must bring pressure upon the police and other authorities to put a stop to reckless and negligent driving, otherwise the menace will continue unabated.
