Sub: Reckless driving and safety measures
Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed self to express my deep concern over the alarmingly increasing road rage on the roads our city, leading to countless accidents every day. 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.
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 and all those who are involved in reckless driving. The parents must also be cautious in allowing their minor children to drive on roads. I appeal to the concerned authorities through the medium of your esteemed columns to look into the issue and do the needful.
Yours truly,
Ratnesh Singh

Subject: Expressing concern over reckless driving
Sir
I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and the general public towards the issue of more and more cases of reckless driving every day. Accidents due to reckless driving are the order of the day. The speed maniacs responsible for most of the accidents disappear from the scene leaving it the victims bleeding and crying. After knocking down a person, they flee before anybody can note down the number of there vehicles. They have no humanity left in them they think that the road is their private property. Reckless drivers overtake from the left disregarding all traffic rules. Traffic lights have no meaning for them.
The penalties imposed for reckless driving are too lenient to be effective. Time is ripe to impose heavy penalties on offenders. A reckless driver who speeds away after knocking down a person should be forced to spend at least one year in the prison cell, after being caught by the police. We need a large squad of traffic police to chase offenders. Those who exceed the speed limits must be given an exemplary punishment. The syllabus of each class must contain one chapter on traffic rules. Youths and other drivers must be taught to respect human life.
The continuous fine will certainly bring some sense to the reckless drivers.
Yours sincerely,
