Traffic solution

Published November 26, 2014

A LETTER on the above topic (Nov 24) carried valuable suggestions. I agree with the views expressed by the author and would like to give a suggestions of my own.

I feel there is a pressing need for drivers’ training schools that are either solely managed by the traffic authorities or closely monitored and supervised by them.

These schools should be given the task of properly training private as well as commercial vehicles’ drivers. Passing the examination from these institutes should be mandatory before a person can apply for a driver’s license.
