Sir: About a week ago, an incident took place in which an elderly man was struck down by a young motorcyclist and received serious injuries. This is not a new case. Many lives and property of people are under great threat due to these underage drivers. A countless number of young boys are driving vehicles like motorbikes, cars and other means of transportation without driving licenses. They are least concerned regarding traffic rules resulting huge risk to their own lives as well. More than 20 traffic incidents occur daily due to these underage drivers. Parents should restrain their children from illegal use of vehicles for their own safety as well as for other’s safety. The concerned traffic authorities should also take strict action against them, as well as parents who allow their children to drive.
