Minor drivers

December 07, 2017
About a week ago, an elderly man was injured after he was struck down by a young motorcyclist in Islamabad. This hasn’t happened for the first time. Lives and property of people are under great threat due to these underage drivers. More than thousands of young boys are driving vehicles without driving licences.
They do not follow traffic rules, putting their own lives as well as the lives of other commuters in danger. More than 20 traffic incidents occur daily due to these young drivers. Parents should not allow their minor children to drive a car or ride a motorcycle in order to ensure their children’s as well as others’ safety. The concerned traffic authorities should also take strict action against them.
