RAWALPINDI, Dec 16 (APP): The City Traffic Police (CTP) Murree on Tuesday organised a road safety awareness session here at the Government High School to educate students about traffic rules and the dangers of underage driving.
A CTP spokesman said the session was arranged by the Education Wing in line with the vision of the Punjab Government and the Inspector General of Police Punjab, Dr Usman Anwar, under the directives of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Traffic Punjab Muhammad Waqas Nazir and Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Murree Imran Razaq.
He said the session aimed to highlight the importance of traffic laws and warn students about the risks of driving motorcycles or vehicles at a young age.
Traffic police officers informed the students that underage driving was a legal offence and could cause fatal accidents, stressing that obtaining a driving licence after turning 18 was both a legal and moral responsibility.
The spokesman said special emphasis was placed on mandatory helmet use by motorcyclists, safe use of zebra crossings, observing traffic signals and signboards, and looking both ways before crossing roads.
CTO Imran Razaq said students were the future of the nation and early awareness of traffic laws was key to building a safe and responsible society.
At the conclusion of the session, the students and teachers pledged to follow traffic rules and spread awareness.
The spokesman expressed hope that such activities would promote positive change and urged citizens to make traffic rules part of daily life to ensure safety for all.
