Traffic norms are flagrantly violated and repeated advisories and cautions on the risks that involve minors driving vehicles are brazenly ignored.
And it gets worse when those expected to uphold the rules and be a model citizen for others, themselves throw caution to the wind and violate the norms.
In a recent case, reiterating its
zero-tolerance policy against underage driving, the Transport Department cancelled the registration of a vehicle for one year after it was found being driven by a minor.
The action comes in the wake of the recent Narsingi incident, where a video showing a minor girl driving a car while her grandfather, a police Sub-Inspector (SI), sat in the front passenger seat went viral on social media.
