Exploring Dhaka’s unique traffic culture and challenges through personal experience.

Every time there is a major road accident, some issues inevitably come to the fore: either the vehicles involved do not have the required documents or the drivers are without valid licences or both.

Police on March 15 last year seized a mini-truck for using it to attempt a robbery. Since then, the vehicle has been kept at Cumilla Sadar South Police Station. Despite this fact, the mini-truck (Chattogram Metro-NA-11-2608) got its fitness certificate in November.

The High Court yesterday asked authorities concerned to submit a report before it on unfit and unregistered vehicles plying the streets and drivers without valid licences.
