The Hyderabad Traffic Police has decided to begin a new initiative to curb minor driving in the city. Minor driving is a major menace in the city and the police have caught multiple drivers in the age group of 14 to 17.
Every month, the traffic police catch around 30 minors. According to the reports, last year more than 130 minor riders lost their lives in accidents.
Hyderabad Traffic Joint Commissioner of Police Dr. V. Ravinder announced the new initiative to control minor driving. He said, “We are launching special drives in number of places in the city to curb minor driving. Nobody is supposed to drive the vehicle without (a) driving license.”
Dr. Ravinder further added cases will be lodged against the owners’ who allow minors to drive. The cases will be filed against the minor drivers as well. He explained the parents of the minor will also be liable.
