Our traffic police authorities have imposed some strict rules on using seat belts and helmets. Besides, some other instructions have also been given. The violators of traffic rules are being punished. But the drivers have not stopped talking on mobile phones, and people are not using footbridges or underpasses and are crossing the roads before the speeding vehicles risking their lives. Implementing new traffic rules is no doubt a praiseworthy step taken by our traffic police. But we have many past experiences that this type of initiative did not continue for long. We hope it will be successful this time.
