A letter to the Editor on reckless driving New Road, Kathmandu Kathmandu 5th Baishak, 2074 The Editor, The Kathmandu Post Kathmandu, Nepal Dear Sir, Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to draw the attention of Traffic Police of Kathmandu Metropolitan city towards reckless driving. It is high time that proper steps are taken to put a stop to the reckless driving of motor bikes, cars and other vehicles in the streets of our thickly populated city. It was only yesterday that a school boy narrowly escaped from being run over by a passenger car going at a very high speed. The boy was crossing the street when a car came racing along at a great speed. Many women and children who try to cross the roads of this overpopulated city become victims to such reckless driving. This has caused many fatal accidents. There is no doubt that regulations regarding speed limit do exist, but the drivers pay no heed to them. Hence, accidents are almost a daily occurrence. The police must strictly enforce the regulations regarding the speed limit. The public who are the worst sufferers, must bring pressure to bear upon the police and the other authorities to put a stop to reckless driving, otherwise this hazard will continue leading to more deaths. Thanking you.
