The Lahore High Court (LHC) has ordered a fine of Rs. 5,000 for motorcyclists without helmets to improve road safety. Due to the unsatisfactory performance of the authorities, the court has decided to intervene.
Justice Shahid Karim issued this ruling after hearing petitions about the city’s smog. He ordered the traffic police to administer strict helmet rules during the hearing.
The court said it would issue an official order to enforce these guidelines. It also criticized the traffic wardens for not performing their duties properly.
The traffic police and Lahore Development Authority (LDA) recently held a cycling event on Main Boulevard in Gulberg. The court took city traffic wardens to task for obstructing traffic.
The court suggested a ten-day advertising campaign to encourage helmet use, suggesting a system that automatically fines non-compliant riders.
The CBD underpass’s drainage also raised the LHC’s ire. The court demanded an explanation from the LDA Chief Engineer over the poor drainage of the underpass.
It’s high time. Great job Justice., pls also review other traffic violation. They also need to be jacked up multiple times
Government halat to control nhi kr skti. Ksi ka helmet ka container bht achy sy bech leti hy. Lmby lmby fine dal k
If helmet is mandatory then side mirrors should also be mandatory since helmet reduces visual field and changing lanes become dangerous.
Why the court not realise that high beams and black tinted vehicles are also cause in major accidents or his colleagues themselves use one?
