According to a recent update, 14,489 amateur drivers have been fined by the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) this year. The fines have reportedly mostly been issued to motorists driving cars or riding motorbikes without their driver’s licenses.

According to an ITP spokesperson, the department is currently on a mission to ensure vehicular discipline and take strict action against motorists who neglect traffic rules. He added that the fine tickets are issued not as a punitive measure, but to enable citizens to respect traffic laws and contribute to road safety.

Reports suggest that the department is spearheading an awareness campaign to sensitize motorists to the importance of traffic laws, with an emphasis on curbing amateur driving, one-wheeling, careless driving, risky stunts, and ensuring lane discipline.

ASSP (Traffic) Farrukh Rasheed said that the ITP personnel will continue their efforts to ensure road safety in the capital. In his statement, he urged people to cooperate with the ITP to make Islamabad accident-free.

In a bid to curb vehicular tragedies, the Road Safety Council of Pakistan (RSCP) has also been established to ensure the prevention of road accidents through the dissemination of information and coordination with various relevant departments to lessen the risks associated with on-road commutes.

Chairman RSCP Irfan Baloch remarked at the inauguration of the ITP, “our main objective is to reduce the traffic crashes and injuries by generating awareness about road safety and build a sense of responsibility in people. We want to save precious lives through the prevention of road traffic accidents, and we strongly believe that all road crashes are preventable”.
