The SSP Mirza Faran Baig was also present on the occasion.

DIG Mirza Shakil Ahmad said some motorists do not abide by the lane rules, contribute to blocking traffic and frustrating other motorists. He said this offence also causes many accidents as some motorists violate lane rules to escape traffic, but they do not realize that they are causing more traffic by doing that.

DIG Mirza Shakil Ahmad further said maintained that poor lane discipline is a violation that needs special and serious attention. He said that some drivers are all over the place and they don’t seem to realize that second lane on highways can only be used for overtaking. Besides inconvenience to other road users, this kind of inconsiderate driving is also very dangerous not only for themselves but for other road users too. The officers are holding briefing session with different transport unions besides briefing the drivers on all the toll plazas from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan.

DIG further directed that all the officers of NH&MP should work hard to maintain discipline on all the national highways by briefing and enforcement.
