Sir john Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Some of the states want the Centre to frame a law or policy, making it mandatory for a person to obtain a driving licence before s/he buys a two-wheeler. The demands were raised at the state transporters' meet on Tuesday in the wake of increasing number of accidents involving two-wheelers, and most of them are reported from rural areas. Raising the demand Chhattisgarh inspector general (traffic) Arun Dev Gautam said that the Centre must instruct all the motorcycle-manufacturing companies not to sell their products to anyone who does not have a valid licence. "We are catching many motor cyclists who either don't have a valid driving licence or have fake ones. Untrained and untested drivers are causing more accidents in rural areas," he added. India's accident data of 2011 shows that among all categories of vehicle, two-wheelers accounted for the highest share in total road accidents at 23.7% followed by trucks, tempos, tractors and other articulated vehicles. Though trucks, tempos, tractors and other articulated vehicles accounted for the highest proportion of fatalities at 27.4%; at least 19% of the victims in road accidents were travelling by two-wheelers. Kerala has asked the Centre to come out with a legal framework to enforce lane driving across the country. Transport commissioner Alice George said that violation of lane driving has been one of the main reasons for accidents on national highways (NHs). "But since there is no policy, we can't penalize a trucker who does not leave the extreme right lane," he explained, pleading helplessness. Union road transport and highways minister C P Joshi have asked all stake-holders to shift from ad-hoc road safety activities to developing and implementing sustainable programmes.
Zap_Brannigan Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 1. Have a more comprehensive test - But they are too lazy to do that 2. Enforce the rules - They will only increase their bribe amount 3. Arrest licensing officers that take bribes - Then hell will freeze over
