Lahore Takes a Stand Against Dangerous "One-Wheeling"
In recent weeks, Lahore has ramped up its efforts to crack down on the risky pastime known as "one-wheeling." If you’re active on social media, you’ve likely seen those daring stunts performed on motorcycles, often with some serious consequences. Well, the Lahore Traffic Police are no longer sitting back; they’re taking action against not only the stunt performers but also those who post these dangerous acts online.
Dr. Athar Waheed, the Chief Traffic Officer of Lahore, announced that the Cyber Patrolling team will monitor one-wheeling activities around the clock. The message is clear: promoting such stunts on social media won’t fly anymore. If you post or share these reckless videos, you could face legal consequences. So, think twice before hitting that "share" button!
This crackdown comes on the heels of a viral video showcasing a young boy and girl performing dangerous maneuvers in Ichhra. Following this incident, a First Information Report (FIR) was filed for multiple offenses. These include rash driving, operating a motorcycle without a valid license, and even creating a public nuisance. The police are taking this very seriously, and rightfully so—one-wheeling has been linked to numerous accidents that have left families devastated.
Dr. Waheed emphasizes the dangers of one-wheeling, highlighting that it’s not just a thrill-seeking activity but a serious threat to life. He urges parents and teachers to play an active role in discouraging children from attempting such stunts. After all, it only takes one wrong move to change a life forever.
In addition to enforcement, the Lahore Traffic Police are rolling out awareness campaigns in schools and colleges. They want to educate young people about the risks associated with one-wheeling and encourage safer driving habits.
So, why the sudden focus on this issue? The city’s approach is multi-faceted, aiming not only to ensure road safety but also to foster a culture of responsible driving among youth. With continuous patrols and community engagement, the authorities hope to curb this reckless behavior.
