Sub: Road rage woes
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 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,
Chahat
