Every day a depressing news of a new traffic accident is reported in Pakistan with multiple deaths and injuries. It is most depressing to see daily deaths and mayhem on our roads. Many accidents are due to poor maintenance of vehicles and ill trained drivers who get licenses after payment of money or graft. Strict training of drivers is required as well as inspection of vehicles – something which is lacking leading to loss of human lives and injured people. Traffic police needs to be thoroughly trained and supervised by their officers before reducing the daily incidents of vehicular accidents which are seen on our roads.
