Answers
Answer:
The safety of school children has been put to risk as overloaded autorickshaws refuse to disappear from city roads.
The rules allow a maximum of five children up to the age of 14 years while in case of adults, it is three passengers, who could be transported in an autorickshaw. However, a vehicle transporting six to 12 children are a common sight in the city. A boy sitting near the driver’s seat, school and lunch bags hanging outside the vehicle and bags placed on the top of the vehicles question the enforcement of law. “Their bags are hung to the hooks at the sides that pose threat to other road users during the busy hours”, said V. Sumathi of Poondurai Road. She said that the drivers by overloading children not only endanger the lives of the children, but also other road users.
