- Many students, who do not have driving license, drive vehicles at high speed due to fear of Traffic Police
By Dheeraj Fartode
If you are going to school/college on motorbike, and do not want to land in trouble, you should keep driving license with you. Traffic cops have decided to conduct drive to check driving licence in schools/colleges in the city, and fine those riding motorbike but not possessing a valid licence.
Traffic Branch of City Police will conduct the drive In July and August. “We have already sent a letter to 274 schools/colleges and requested them to mention driving license number of students in their Identity Cards,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP-Traffic) Chandra Kishore Mina told ‘The Hitavada’.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Mahadeo Gawade said that many school going/college going students were riding motorcycles without driving license. “No school/college should allow parking of motorcycles in institution’s premises if riders do not have driving license, it has been mentioned in the letter we have sent to schools/colleges,” he said. Gawande said that Traffic Police was organising seminars on traffic safety rules in schools/colleges. An officer said that special teams of Traffic Police will be constituted to conduct the drive.

According to Ravindra Kaskhedikar, Secretary of Janakrosh, “Many mishaps of school/college going students were reported in city in the months of July and August.” It was noticed that 70 per cent motorbikes used by Standard XI students are above 150 cc in displacement, have 15 BHP power engine, and weigh above 140 kgs. Average weight of Standard XI student is around 65 kgs. The students are physically unfit to ride such vehicles safely but they are doing it despite risk to their life, lamented Kaskhedikar. Parents should not allow their wards to drive vehicles without driving license and administration should not allow students to enter school/college without driving license, he demanded.
Many students, who do not have driving license, drive vehicles at high speed due to fear of Traffic Police. On several such occasions, such driving has caused accidents, Kaskhedikar said. It is duty of administration of every educational institution to ensure safety of students. This can be achieved by mentioning driving license number on Identity Card, he added. School/college administration should be held responsible if students do not have driving license, he demanded. He pointed out that students performed motorbike stunts in institution’s premises and also on city roads, and demanded cops to take stern action against them.
Traffic Police should conduct surprise inspection of driving license in school/college every month. This will force students to apply for driving license, Kaskhedikar felt. He added that Traffic Police, in collaboration with school/college administration, must install information board about driving license checking drive, safety, fatal accidents, and fines for breaking traffic rules in every institution in the city.
