The Motorcycles are multiplying like rats on Lahore roads. They are proving to be a menace for traffic with over-speeding and target killers included. The motorcycles are cheap from China and can be bought on instalment basis. One often sees a sweeper with his broom stuck on the back seat of a motor cycle. It is suggested that major roads in Lahore may have motorcycles banned for some hours to save the traffic accidents from happening. Another thing is that we should encourage the use of cycles on roads which would help in controlling the paunch lines of citizens which is in evidence since the introduction of motorcycles on roads. Recently murders have been committed by double riders of motorcycles with target killing by the rider on the back seat. Such target killers escape quickly in rush hours and thus escape the law in the event of non functional TV cameras on roadsides. It is time that the city figured out a sane method of controlling the rapid rise of motorcycles on Lahore’s roads.

All motorcycle riders need to remember to ride safe and that even though the cars should look twice to avoid hitting motorcycles, we need to make sure that we are doing everything we can to be safe as well. Let's ride in an orderly way please. ride safe!
