Reckless driving
Reckless driving of motor cars, trucks and all kinds of automobiles has become a menace to the pedestrians. It is a matter of risk to walk along the streets now-a-days. It seems that the streets were made only for the drivers of the cars, taxis, CNGs, buses and trucks. As soon as they get into vehicles they seem to forget all about the world except themselves. But everybody has equal rights on the streets. Though there is a penalty for exceeding the speed limit, yet these are considered as light offences and most of them are ignored by the traffic police. As a result, accidents are happening daily in our country.
The government should be more active to provide safety to the helpless pedestrians and the police should be more attentive to enforce traffic rules on the drivers. The relevant authorities have to take it up ardently.
