Underage drivers

Published July 30, 2016

IT is a matter of concern that many underage drivers are seen riding bikes and automobiles on roads. I have escaped many times having a serious collision with these immature bike-riders.

Their reflexes are not developed for riding bikes on roads full of traffic. This has escalated the ratio of roadside accidents. It is the responsibility of the parents to stop underage children from riding and driving. Law- enforcers and public administration should also keep a strict check on underage drivers/riders.
