Dear Sir/Madam
SUBJECT Reckless driving causes the increasing number of road accidents
Through the column of your newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the increasing number of road accidents in Klang. Many young and innocent persons lose their lives or suffer from heavily injured because they were knocked by car or motorcycle, which can be read in newspaper every day
Road accidents happened due to the reckless driving of drivers. They often break the speed limit, especially in the night time. To be worst, some of them are even drunk driving. This is menace to others road users as the car drivers that drive at high speed might crush down whoever comes in a way. The latest incident reported how a pedestrian lost her life while she was trying to cross the road. Unfortunately, at the moment she crossed the road, she was being run over by a car that running at a speed of about 100 mph, according to the witnesses. Moreover, they often jumped the traffic light because the traffic police was not available and nobody was there to stop them when they breach the traffic rules.
Although there are speed limits and police block, those measures were not strictly enforced by the authorities. It must be pointed out that most of the time the wrongdoers bribe the policemen and escape from summon. I wonder why is there a need to have traffic police when they exercised their duty without care and diligence.
By addressing this issue, it is hoped that the public awareness towards the dangerous of reckless driving can be raised. It is also the time for the traffic authorities to take strong measures against the reckless drivers, which includes levying heavy fines and forfeiting of their licenses if they are found guilty of breaching the traffic rules
Yours truly
