It has also failed to control overspeeding Traffic violations occur with rare abandon in front of the eyes of the traffic sergeants and they look the other way. No wonder one comes across umpteen cases of people dying or becoming physically incapacitated daily as a result of road accidents which are on the increase in the federal capital.
One is not aware whether or not there exist any effective system in the Islamabad’ sTraffic police set – up for checking fitness level of the vehicles that ply on the roads.
