- RTO warns against handing over vehicles to minors: The Regional Transport Office (RTO) has issued a warning to parents and guardians, cautioning them against allowing minors to drive vehicles. The consequences of this action could be severe, as minors caught driving may not be eligible to apply for a driving license until they turn 25. Additionally, the vehicle in question could lose its registration for a year, and an FIR will be lodged against the parents or guardians of the minor.
- Mixed reactions to RTO’s initiative: While some support the RTO’s crackdown on underage driving, others are skeptical about its effectiveness. Prashant Inamdar of Pedestrians First believes that the effort should be continuous, rather than a one-time initiative. Similarly, Lokesh Verma, a resident of Camp, questions the enforcement of helmet-wearing rules for two-wheeler riders, casting doubt on the success of the RTO’s drive.
- The need for sustained efforts: While the RTO’s initiative is a positive step towards curbing underage driving, its success will depend on the continued efforts of the authorities and the cooperation of parents and guardians. It is essential for all stakeholders to work together to ensure the safety of young drivers and other road users.
