One wheeling continued unchecked on various roads of the city particularly after Sehri as motor bikers, mostly teenagers, continued to perform dangerous stunts and driving their motorcycles on one wheel on roads of the city.
The one-wheelers were seen performing dangerous antics on the roads near Ayub Park, Peshawar Road, Saddar, Murree Road and other areas especially during Ramzan nights and usually succeeded to dodge the police deployed on the roads.
Despite all efforts of police to eliminate the activity, the trend of one-wheeling is increasing and growing at a very fast pace instead.
These bikers do not take any precautionary measures like wearing helmet, elbow guards etc and come out on roads.
Though, the traffic wardens were deployed on the city roads, but they were unable to save the citizens of Rawalpindi at the disposal of fun-loving teenagers who tend to break the traffic laws the way they want to.
The traffic authorities when contacted agreed that one wheel drive is posing a serious challenge to Rawalpindi city traffic police. “It is a serious problem and several accidents have been reported to us. We are working to adopt counter measures but it has to be realized that escaping on motorbikes is much easier as compared to cars or other vehicles,” stated a senior traffic police officer.
