Traffic violations in metros are at an all-time high with as many as 11,365 serial offenders roaming the streets with impunity. They have been involved in serious accidents causing death, jumping red lights and drunken driving. But they get away lightly. Invariably these serial offenders commit a serious accident in less than 2 months after being freed from the first charge. In Delhi, road accidents cause around 12,000 deaths a year. Is it then, safe to take serial offenders lightly, especially when even Ministers’ convoys are not beyond the danger of being hitIJ Deebashree Mohanty explores
I saw my 3-year-old baby and husband being mowed down by a speeding bus coming from the wrong side. This happened just a few weeks ago and within minutes my life was over. The driver who killed them was out on bail in no time. I cannot begin to tell you the shock and pain I am going through. My little girl lineshya’s death cannot go in vain. India is notorious for lack of road safety. I want this to change

Letter to the editor against rash driving
D-69,
Sector-15,
Janakpuri,
New Delhi.
5 August, 2020.
The Editor,
Times of India,
New Delhi.
Subject - To draw attention to the issue of rash driving.
Sir,
For fours consecutive days I can see the second and third page of the newspaper remains completely filled with news of accidents due to reckless driving. The issue is not at all minor and needs to be heeded in an immediate manner.
Reason for such type of action seems showoff or hastiness. People do not understand that life matters more than this. Not only the drivers, but other victims end up going through huge loss either physically or financially or both.
Strict action should be taken like seize the vehicles of rash drivers and sell or donate them immediately. No second chance should be given to defaulters.
Through this letter, I want to draw the attention of police and government officials to take measures against the issue.
Thank you,
Yours truly,
Akash.
