Lahore to Register FIRs for One of the Most Common Traffic Violations

Lahore's traffic police will initiate first information reports (FIRs) against motorists for overspeeding as part of new road safety initiatives. These measures are being implemented under Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif's "Safe Punjab, Safe Roads" vision, according to information shared about a meeting between Chief Traffic Officer Lahore and road safety and smog stakeholders.

Drivers will be mandated to obtain fitness certificates, akin to vehicle fitness requirements. Mobile medical camps will be established to conduct comprehensive medical and psychological examinations of drivers, assessing eyesight, color blindness, overall medical fitness and psychological health. Transporters are directed to provide complete records of their drivers to enhance road safety and accountability.

The measures seek to reduce road accidents by ensuring drivers meet medical and psychological standards. During the meeting, authorities also discussed road safety and smog-related concerns with transporters.
