Advocate Safdar Shaheen Peerzada filed the petition urging the court to direct car manufacturers to install airbags and other safety equipment in cars.
The petition maintained that auto manufacturers were selling their vehicles at high prices yet they lacked safety equipment.
“The non-availability of airbags and other safety equipment in cars result in the loss of lives in accidents,” he added.
The court was requested to impose a ban on the introduction of new models of auto vehicles without safety equipment.
Furthermore, the advocate appealed to the court to impose another ban on driving at a speed over 60 kilometres/hour within city remits and also direct traffic police to ensure the enforcement of a ban on underage driving.
The petition followed soon after the gruesome traffic accident that claimed the lives of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Qamar Zaman Kaira’s teenage son, Usama, and his friend in Lalamusa on Saturday. PPP spokesperson claimed that Usama’s car had crashed into a tree when he was on his way to Islamabad.
