    Also enforce traffic rules on rash driving by larger vehicles (trucks, cars, three wheeler, tractors), meter charging by autos. Two wheeler riders are a soft target. Show the same zeal in enforcing all traffic laws. On congress road, on a already narrow road, cars are parked randomly. This is a real traffic hazard. Provide paid parking on inner streets. Improve the two wheeler parking in the city market area.

    Wearing helmets is key to protecting life but all accidents are not only due to fault of two wheeler riders. It takes two to tango. Enforce all traffic regulations fairly. Otherwise it looks more like a revenue mopping exercise. Covid has sucked all of us, the government should use power judiciously.

    Traffic police should first update their data from RTO. I have sold my bike more than a year ago but I still get the challan delivered to my address. I had furnished all the required details while transferring & RTO has also issued a new RC to the new owner. Now it will be a utter nonsense if I get my DL suspended while the new owner breaks any traffic rule.
