Subject: Reckless road rage among youngsters
Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the alarmingly increasing road rage on the roads our city, involving youngsters in most of the cases. Road Accident Statistics India has confirmed 1214 road accidents every day in India. 20 children in the age group 3 to 14 lose their lives every day due to these accidents.
The number of cars and other vehicles has been constantly on the rise. The recent survey on maximum number of car ownership has confirmed the maximum number of cars and bikes in our city. The most worry causing aspect is the parents allowing their minor and immature children to drive high-end vehicles on roads. They do maximum accidents. These young children and adolescents with no driving experience violate traffic rules and cause accidents.
Apart from this, the traffic police appear to be lazily indifferent to the problem of road rage. Often the jumping of red lights is condoned. Even after being caught red handed the culprits are not punished because of their political connections. If immediate counter measures are not taken, the city roads will become veritable killer roads.
The traffic police must act proactively. There should be strict actions against minors who are involved in reckless driving. The parents must also be cautious in allowing their minor children to drive on roads. I appeal to you to look into the issue and do the needful.
Yours truly,
Sonu Tyagi
