Sub: Educated people flouting traffic rules
Sir:
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the alarmingly increasing incidents of violation of traffic rules, which is causing countless accidents every day.
Owing to the growth and development of the economy, per capita income of the people has grown manifold. 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. What disturbs the most is educated people flouting traffic rules. In their hurry or excitement they often jump red-lights, indulge in over-speed, don’t wear seat-belts, and overtake from the wrong side.
Apart from this, the traffic police appear to be lazily indifferent to the problem of violation of traffic rules. 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 the offenders. I appeal to the concerned authorities through the medium of your esteemed columns to look into the issue and do the needful.
Yours truly,
Prerna Sharma
