I WOULD like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards reckless driving by Qingqi rickshaw drivers. These rickshaws are available everywhere but their drivers neither drive safely nor care about driving rules.

I have seen many times that they stop in the middle of the road to pick and drop a passenger which is dangerous for everyone. Mostly the drivers are inexperienced teenagers. It means they do not possess driver’s licence.

Qingqi rickshaw is a cheap mode of transportation for the middle class. But the traffic police must take action against these reckless rickshaw drivers for the safety of passengers and pedestrians.
