How Many Are Too Many???
Traffic law violation is a very broad subject. The traffic police try their best in Ahmedabad, but a lot of the responsibility is also of the people. We too are equally responsible for our safety as well as others. The main priority of the traffic department presently is child safety. Under this section, the violations that are being thoroughly monitored presently are overloaded school auto-rickshaws / vans and under-age driving.
School auto-rickshaws have a tendency to pack in many more kids than the law permits them to. Only 6 kids are allowed per rickshaw by the law. When this limit is crossed, children end up hanging out, from the sides of rickshaws; this is very dangerous for them. Some of them may just fall out and injure themselves very badly. (more…)
