Dear Editor
I would like to draw the attention of Traffic Police of (name of city) towards reckless driving.
It is high time that proper steps are taken to put a stop to the reckless driving of motor cars and other vehicles in the streets of our thickly populated city. In fact, just few days ago, a poor old beggar narrowly escaped from being run over by a motor car going at a very high speed. The beggar was crossing the street when a car came dashing along at a speed above ( _ ) kilometers an hour.
This is just one such incident as many women and children who try to cross the roads of this overpopulated city become victims to such reckless driving. This has caused many fatal accidents.
Undoubtedly, regulations regarding speed limit do exist
in the city, but the drivers pay no heed. The police also takes little or no notice
of these offenders, therefore, accidents are almost a daily occurrence
.
I would like to emphasize that the police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding limit and the public, who are the worst sufferers, must bring pressure to bear
upon the police and other authorities to put a stop to reckless
and negligent driving so that lives of citizens are not put at risk.
Sincerely,

Subject: The menace of rash and reckless driving.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed and widely read national newspaper, I wish to highlight the increasing numbers of road accidents due to reckless driving.
Road accidents are increasing due reckless driving by adults as well as youngsters and minors which causes accidents and results in injuries and lost of life.
Traffic rules prohibit driving by underaged children, overspeeding, driving on the wrong lane, parking in no parking zones, bikers without helmet, car drivers without driving license or without seat belts, driving under influence of intoxicants, etc. The penalties to the defaulters are clearly defined. It can be a fine or imprisonment or both. 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 pedestrians, the people walking on foot and the drivers fled from the scene with the victims bleeding, screaming in pain and calling for help. Those driving above the speed limits must be given exemplary punishments for neglecting 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.
Parents too have a major role to play in the prevention of reckless driving and the potential outcome. They must never allow their underaged or children without proper training and driving license to drive.
I think it is high time for us to impose heavier penalties on the offenders to deter rash and reckless driving.
Our traffic control personnel must be increased. Population and vehicle users are growing rapidly but the number of traffic police has more or less remained the same. Hence the need to recruit more traffic police.
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 minors. No license should be given to anyone until they have passed from driving schools with satisfactory performance.
A reckless and irresponsible driver endangers his own life, the life of other drivers as well as passengers and pedestrians. It is heartbreaking to see any young person whose life is cut short because reckless driving. We must remember that it is better to drive safely and reach home alive.
Yours sincerely
JOYDEEP
