Meanwhile, IG Punjab Dr Usman Anwar released a video message on the enforcement of driving licences, use of helmets and other traffic rules to prevent accidents. IG Punjab said in a video message that the attitude and behavior of any country is reflected in the enforcement and discipline of its traffic rules. Changing the attitude and mindset of non-observance of traffic rules is very important to avoid traffic accidents. He further stated that due to violation of traffic rules and carelessness, more than a dozen people die in accidents every day. The responsibility to ensure that citizens are safe from accidents while traveling rests with the Punjab Police, Traffic Works Department and the public. He further stated that wrong driving and overloading of official vehicles are also causes of accidents, so the police, traffic department, government and the public must work together to reduce accidents and fatalities. IG Punjab stated that compliance with the law on wearing helmets is the first principle to prevent accidents. For this reason, the Punjab Provincial Police has begun to strictly enforce the laws on wearing helmets in the province, including Lahore. He further stated that just like during the COVID-19 epidemic, wearing a mask correctly instead of hanging it on your arm can protect you from the impact of the epidemic; similarly, wearing a helmet instead of hanging it on your arm can also prevent accidents. It’s on the arm or on the motorcycle. The purpose of strictly mandating the wearing of helmets is to protect the younger generation from head injuries, permanent disability and even possible death, so parents should try to ensure that their children who ride out on bikes use helmets, or the traffic police will take action. The Governor of Punjab said in a video message that the Highway Patrol and Traffic Police have accepted the project to enforce traffic rules against heavy, overloaded vehicles, one-way violations and reckless drivers.
