Sub. : Increase in Road Accidents.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed paper, I want to show my grave concern on the road accidents especially in the metropolitan cities of India. The given data represents that the metropolitan city of Delhi has the maximum rate of road accidents. It is because the crowd and the running traffic do not follow the traffic rules. They do not respect the red signals and the policeman standing on the crossing. They drive recklessly and are often drunk. The roads have become death traps and none is safe.
In fact, there is no road or highway which is immune from reckless drivers. The youngsters try to show off on the roads and try daring devil acts. They overtake from the right and left as all are in a hurry. They think they are the ‘monarchs’ of the pedestrians or the homeless people sleeping on the pavements. Even the police care little for such lapses. There are no proper sidewalls for protection. The law enforcing machinery is too slow to wake. It is in the interest of all that we should be aware of the traffic rules. While plying our vehicles we should follow the motto “Live and let live.
Yours faithfully

Hope it helps you.. .
Have a great day.. .
Thanks

Subject: Reckless driving endangering precious human life.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the traffic authorities and the general public on the issue of increasing road accidents due reckless driving, especially young drivers, which causes accidents and results in injuries and lost of life.
There are clear traffic rules which prohibit overspeeding, driving on the wrong lane, parking in no parking zones, bikers without helmet, car drivers without driving license, driving without seat belts, driving under influence of intoxicants, etc and also we defined penalties for defaulters. Overspeeding and ignoring traffic lights are normal to them. They drive under the influence of alcohol. There are several hit and run cases everyday. Reckless drivers hit other vehicles or people walking on foot and fled the scene with the victims bleeding, screaming in pain and calling for help. Those whose driving exceed the speed limits must be given exemplary punishments. These reckless drivers give no regards for the rules and regulations of public roads. They are a menace and highly dangerous to public safety. Our traffic personnel must do their best to book them under relevant laws.
Maybe it is high time for us to review the existing penalties imposed upon people for rash driving. Imposing heavier penalties on offenders is the need of the hour to deter rash and reckless driving. Any rash driver involved in hit and run should be fined along with appropriate imprisonment time.
Our traffic control personnel must be increased. Both population and vehicle users are growing rapidly but the number of traffic police has not has more or less remained the same. It is also necessary to introduce road safety lessons in the text books of schools and colleges. Students must be taught the necessity of safe driving and learn to honour the sanctity of human life. Further, no driving license should be issued to anyone until they have passed from driving schools with satisfactory performance.
"Speed thrills but kills." Reckless and irresponsible driving endangers the life of the driver as well as other drivers and pedestrians. We must remember that it is better to drive safely then to regret later.
Yours sincerely,
Sapna
