Reckless truck driving

Published November 28, 2015

FOR the last two months there has not been a single day when a road accident did not occur in the Nazimabad area. Most of the accidents were caused by reckless driving. Truck drivers have no control over their vehicles when they are on the road and they often bring their trucks earlier than allowed.

Reckless driving kills people and animals. It is a public safety issue that must be properly addressed.
