Overspeeding is the greatest concern on roads nowadays . Young guys on powerful bikes are whizzing and weaving through traffic mindless of density . They compete with the racing autos and the irresponsible government bus drivers. Auto drivers are totally incorrigibly rowdistic and the government bus drivers are unrepentant in the event of an accident . But the youngsters caught under the wheels of the poorly maintained buses are the victims .These youth also endanger the lives of small schoolgoing children , pregnant women and frail senior citizens. They end up as temporary liabilities on their families in the case of minor falls or totally incapacitated for life in major accidents.The dreams of their parents are shattered and they feel cheated of everything .Time and money spent becomes a waste .

There are many ways to bring this speeding madness under control . Traffic rules should be made a part of the curriculum and a section of general knowledge , in these times of dedicated eight track roads and high speed traffic.Issuing of licences should become more transparent and the driver should be made to imbibe profound civil sense. Straightforward policing is a must.Policing must be free of political and peer pressures . Heavy fines should be levied . Mandatory seizing of vehicles and impounding of seized vehicles for a minimum period of atlest 15 days can be enforced .Vehicles should be noted down in a centralised system and the third offence should lead to confiscation . The parents also should be made collaterally responsible to damage of life and property . If a life is lost , it should also amount to culpable homicide . Jail terms should be imposed mercilessly. License can be cancelled after the third repeated offence.Bringing about public awareness is the responsibility of the government . Enforcing rule and regulations is the dominion of the transport department.

YOUTH ARE OUR NATIONAL ASSET AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE THEM TO DEATH AND HANDICAP
