The crackdown has been enforced on key motorways, including the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway (M2), Lahore-Multan Motorway (M3), and Motorways M4 and M5. As part of the operation, the Motorway Police have taken drivers into custody along with their vehicles and handed them over to the local police. The registered FIRs include charges of negligence and reckless driving.

The department’s spokesperson stressed that ensuring the safety of travelers remains their top priority, with a firm commitment to enforcing traffic laws. Inspector General of Motorway Police, Riffat Mukhtar Raja, has instructed officials to intensify efforts against over-speeding.
The Motorway Police reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring safe travel on national highways, urging motorists to abide by speed limits to prevent accidents.
How of many of them were genuine ?
None of them honestly
Stupidity at its finest.
Since when does over speeding becomes a one way ticket to jail.
Lol
These idiots have no idea that Germanys Autobahn has no speed limit. Yet they have fewer crashes then Pak even with speed limit.
Motorways having speed limit is stupid anyways.
These drivers who violate laws are either fi Ed heavily and there car is impounded. But no where in the world does over speeding land you behind bars. Incompetent idiots and assholes are ruling Pakistan these days.
Chalo qamai tu hui na isi liye tu banaya tha motorway naam cheez ko
Another hazard which I want to draw attention of motorway police.
At night I came across multiple vehicles mostly old cars to be insufficiently lighted. Many a times, both tail lamps are off. My suggestion is to keep the check on those vehicle and filter them not to allow travel on motorway. In case of electric failure,driver are encouraged to put on hazard lights while travelling.
Authorities may please take strict action against those who drive on the wrong side of the road, particularly motorcyclists and also those motorcyclists who ride at night without headlights
pakistan is the pioneer of this chu****pa….fir for overspeeding saein tau saein saein ka kutta bhi saein 🙏😂🤣
They don’t stop any of the vip government vehicles ( such as ministers, judges) or vip movements .
