Underage drivers

Author: Daily Times

Sir: The citizens of Pakistan are deeply troubled due to the numerous underage drivers on our roads. Most surprisingly, yesterday while I was going to my workplace, I witnessed a very small boy aged around seven or nine riding a motorbike very fast. How could his parents let him ride a motorcycle at this early and immature age? Despite knowing the fact that in Turbat the traffic density has increased a lot in recent years, young children who don’t even know how to walk properly are riding vehicles. Besides this, one of my colleagues was even hit by a vehicle which was being driven by a 12-year-old boy. His hand is still injured because of that accident. So, the government must show concern about these circumstances and not allow the very young children to ride or drive vehicles.
