RECKLESS DRIVING
(Muhammad Unza faooqui, karachi)
With due respect, I wish to draw kind attention of the
concerned authority and general public through your esteemed daily, towards
increasing incidents of road accidents.
Road accidents are a frequent feature of newspapers. Road accidents are on a
rise especially in big cities. In rural areas,road accidents may have different
causes like poor road conditions but in cities there is one reason which is the
most critical one. This is reckless driving and most of the road accidents are
result of reckless driving.
Persons sitting on steering do not have control over it. They do not have any
regard for the traffic rules Over-speeding, jumping red lights, over taking from
wrong side are commonplace. In most of the cases they scape unpunished due to
their social status and corrupt bureaucracy.
Every year, large numbers of people die in road accidents. It is one of the
biggest reasons of unnatural deaths in India. In the past fifty years, more
persons succumbed to death due to road accidents than in wars with our enemy
countries. so the time has come to develop a movement against reckless driving.
I hope,civic authorities and civilized people will pay heed to my prayer.
Yours faithfully,
Muhammad Unza Farooqui
