Beware, those riding bikes and driving cars without rear-view mirrors, and rear seat belts in cars will have to face action as the traffic police has launched a special drive to create awareness among public.
Police said a special drive is being carried out in West Delhi from January 13 to January 23 wherein public are educated on the importance of usage of rear-view mirror and rear seat belt in order to stay safe and prevent accidents.
Prashant Gautam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Traffic, Western Range, said the absence of rear view mirrors and rear seat belts results in serious injuries and fatalities during accidents. “There is also very little compliance with provisions for use of rear-seat belts in cars. This is reflective of the poor awareness among riders,” he said.
