Sub. :- Against the school bus drivers for rash driving.
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
Nowadays , many of the schools are being equipped with different means of transport for their school children and it's easy and time saving to use aswell. Now, the matter is if the students are traveling through the bus then it becomes the prime duty of the driver and the conductor to run it in a safe way and speed but it's not being followed by them as many cases like of accidents and many more severe cases are being observed in news reports , television , etc. which shows that yes the guidelines are still not implemented. So , through this letter I request you to please publish this matter in your articles so that people could be aware of it & will ensure that his/her child is safe or not.
Thank You

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 school bus drivers, which causes accidents and results in injuries and lost of life. A school bus driver must not forget how many innocent life of school children are under his responsibility on the road.
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 and driving under the influence of alcohol must be viewed seriously. 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, passengers and pedestrians. We must remember that it is better to drive safely then to regret later.
Yours sincerely,
Sapna
Bharat Nagar, Mumbai
