A petition has been submitted to the Lahore High Court (LHC) opposing the confinement of underage drivers in police lockups, as reported by News 24/7.
Rana Sikandar Advocate has filed a petition urging the Lahore High Court (LHC) to address the issue of detaining underage drivers in police lockups. The plea highlights that juvenile children are being held in violation of the law, specifically the Act of 2018, regarding driving license offenses. The petitioner has called on the LHC to issue orders on this matter.
It's worth noting that the Lahore police have intensified their crackdown on underage drivers, particularly in the DHA area, following a tragic road crash that resulted in the loss of six lives in Lahore. Special checkpoints have been established, and the Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) of Lahore has emphasized the risks posed by underage drivers to themselves and others. The CTO also urged parents not to permit their underage children to operate vehicles or motorcycles.
