Sir

I wish to draw the attention of the authorities against rash and reckless driving of car,

trucks and two wheelers in the city.

Reckless driving has become craze these day. It is a big nuisance and a great danger to school- going children as well as aged person as they cannot cross the road quickly. Cyclists, rickshaws, and to wheelers-are hit by speeding cars and trucks every day. Some of the streets in our town are very busy and overcrowded. Even then, the motorists drive their vehicles reckless.

Accidents are almost an everyday occurrence caused due to the rash driving. The drivers knock down the people and escape. Sometimes it become difficult even to note the number of the offending vehicle.

The police and traffic authorities should take immediate measures. The offenders should be punished heavily so they never repeat the offence.

I hope strict measures are taken to keep the errant drivers in check, so that people heave a sigh of relief.

Yours truly
