Answer:
Around 7.30am, the lanes of Old Delhi reverberate with the sound of speeding motorcycles and scooters. The riders are mostly schoolchildren below 18 years — a common sight here.
Many students in schools across Delhi ditch school buses and cabs to ride two-wheelers and cars. The lack of checks by schools encourages children to hit the road young.
At a school in Daryaganj, the problem of underage driving was brought to the school’s notice by local residents.
“In the morning and in the afternoon, young boys create ruckus on the road. Riding without helmets, tripling, and speeding were common in the lanes here. It had become so unsafe for people to walk that we had to meet the school authorities,” said Mahinder Kumar from the Daryaganj Market Association.
