Lahore Traffic Police introduced 5 new traffic laws

Lahore Traffic Police has recently introduced a bold and strict new traffic laws to curb traffic violations and reduce the number of fatal accidents on the roads.

In a significant move, they have decided to stop issuing challans (fines) for major traffic violations. Instead, violators will now face direct arrest or an FIR (First Information Report).

Traffic Police New Laws

1. Unregistered vehicles: Most of these are two-wheelers that are attached to vehicles and often go unnoticed. These vehicles are now being strictly checked.
2. One-way violation: So far, 536 people have been arrested for driving the wrong way. This dangerous act not only leads to accidents but also creates major traffic jams.
3. Underage driving: Authorities are planning new laws to hold parents accountable as well. They will be considered aggressors and could face legal action if their underage children are caught driving.
4. Overloading Loader Rickshaws: Many rickshaws are so overloaded that the driver cannot see behind them. This leads to accidents and creates serious safety hazards.
5. Reckless Driving: Speeding, unnecessary overtaking, and dangerous driving patterns will no longer be tolerated.

This step is being taken to make people more serious about traffic rules. According to officials, many drivers ignore challans and continue to break the law, which puts lives at risk. Therefore, now the traffic police will take strict legal action on the spot.

Another important step involves creating a digital footprint of every violation. This means that if someone breaks the law, the record will be stored online as evidence.

Also, once an FIR is filed, the violator will not be able to get a job in the police or any government department in the future. This adds to the long-term consequences of their actions.

This new policy by the Lahore Traffic Police shows that they are serious about making the roads safe for everyone. It is now up to the public to follow the rules and drive responsibly.
