The government has started acting tough against the drivers, who are found driving without crash helmets, but the major issue that needs to be looked at the same time is the underage people driving the two-wheelers openly that have witnessed many fatal accidents in the recent past. Fining and seizing the vehicles against the norm violations must be put aside as there is a need to come up with stringent action in this regard so that the parents or guardians would at least not encourage their beloved to drive on the busiest roads, which could land the entire family in trouble. It has been witnessed that the parents are openly encouraging their beloved to violate the norms by handing over the bikes, or other vehicles to them for driving and that too when they don’t have the license granted by the government in wake of their young age. The traffic police as well as the Regional Transport Office (RTO) here should work in tandem and make sure that all those found violating the norms in such a way are punished and dealt with strictly as per the law. The drive must be started in this regard so that all these underage drivers are identified and their parents are called to ensure a strict punishment for encouraging the violation of law. The government must come up with stringent measures in this regard so that no one would allow their beloved to drive the vehicles without proper licenses, which would subsequently help in reducing the number of accidents on the roads.
