Sub : Road accidents on the increase / Reckless driving.

Sir,

    I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me a little space in the column of your esteemed daily to express my grave concern about the increase in road accidents in various parts of the state.

Travelling by buses and minibuses and even going out into the streets is no longer safe. Reckless driving has now become the order of the day. Drivers drive their vehicles at break-neck speed caring little for the traffic rules. On the other hand, the on-duty traffic police are mostly mere spectators to reckless driving. All the requests of the passengers to drive vehicles slowly seem to fall on deaf ears of the drivers who are very often found in a drunken state. The commission system to the bus drivers and conductors has worsened the situation all the more. This leads the bus drivers to a rivalry to overtake one another. This rivalry sometimes results in the loss of many precious lives in serious accidents. Such accidents due to reckless driving are now on the rise. 

It is high time for the Government to take stringent steps against the erring drivers to put a stop to this menace.

                Thanking you

Yours Truely
