Subject: Request to organise 'Traffic Rules Awareness Week'

Sir,

I am writing to you to bring your attention towards the rising indifference among the riders of our city towards road safety and awareness of traffic rules. This has become a major problem of Lucknow that's far from being controlled.

Lives of thousands of riders, bystanders and pedestrians are endangered by the irresponsible behaviour of some careless riders. We can witness an increasing trend of over-speeding in almost all areas of the city, a few like Vidhan Bhawan Road being an exception due to the high number of traffic policemen deployed there.

The problem does not end at over-speeding. Many teenagers below the age of 18 are driving their parents' vehicles without valid driver's licence. Also, no use of the traffic signals and signal timers, which were installed after huge expenditure by the government, is seen because there are no traffic policemen who fine the violators. The CCTV cameras which have been installed to check the culprits aren't just doing enough good.

There is a pressing need to educate the riders of the city and make them aware of traffic rules, because they have either forgotten them or they happily engage in deliberate lawlessness by disregarding them. For this very purpose, I want to request you to plan and organise a 'Traffic Rules Awareness Week' and maximize its benefit by giving it wide publicity through various media.

Yours sincerely

Aman
