Sir: I wish to draw the attention of Traffic Police towards reckless driving. It is high time that proper steps are taken to put a stop to the reckless driving of motor cars and other vehicles in the streets of our thickly populated city. Only two days ago, a poor old beggar narrowly escaped from being run over by a motor car going at a very fast speed. The beggar was crossing the street when a, car came dashing along at a speed above 90km an hour.

Many women and children who try to cross the roads of this overpopulated city become victims to such reckless driving. This has caused many fatal accidents. There is no doubt that regulations regarding speed limit do exist but the drivers pay no heed. The police, too, take little or no notice of these offenders. Hence, accidents are almost a daily occurrence.

The police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding limit. The public who are the worst sufferers, must bring pressure to bear Upon the police and other authorities to put a stop to reckless And negligent driving, otherwise this menace will continue unabated Leading to more deaths. Please solve this problem as soon as possible.
