incurable traffic jam.
Sir,
CRIME
ON WHEEL
Rash
driving, wavy riding, wheelers without documents, rider/drivers without
requisite documents, helmet, seat-belt and other means of safety have not only
been shocking the people but also the law enforcement. Recent experiments of
using various devices to check some kind of violations on wheel have proved
fiasco. All the existing measures to check offenses on wheels appear to be
nothing more than a bonanza for the law enforcement personnel and the police
departments. Offenders on wheels are assured of two handy solutions; one is to
grease the palms of those on duty to let go the offenses and the other is to
pay the fine which is too meager. The objective of the lawful punishment is to
awaken the people of wrong and right with their consequences but the people
have been awakened about how to twist the law and influence those engaged in
maintaining it. For violating driver/riders, we have many more provisions of
monetary fine rather than legal complications and jail term directly.
Steep
rise in per capita income and proxy riding/driving has rendered the monetary
fine for offense on wheels too meager.
There
have been startling but meaningful orders of honorable courts where the
offenders have been awarded punishment viz. cleaning of particular temples,
standing whole day with traffic police, and requesting hundreds of
rider/drivers to be law-abiding on road. The law enforcement must steal the
sense of such judgments of honorable courts and implement them along with
existing prescribed fine for violating road rules. People are now less worried
about money than their freedom, time and privacy. The law enforcement should
now press the button of people’s freedom, time and privacy. If these become the
order with existing provisions of fine and punishment, the offenders would
abstain from indulging in such acts. There might be repercussions of model
punishment but if aforesaid model punishment is applied on second, third and
habitual offenders, the measures with existing provisions would not boomerang.
It
is my sincere appeal to all concerned to take notice of proposed measures to
combat offense on wheels.
Copy
to other honorable recipients.
