The initiative taken by the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) to launch an SMS service to spread road safety awareness among commuters is appraisable.
As every second person has cell phone, this presents a great opportunity to make them aware of the rules and regulations. This program should be further carried ahead and it should expand to cover all the legal issues faced by the public. The greater awareness in public will result in proper adherence to the laws of the land. This awareness will also prevent them to be exploited due to lack legal knowledge.
