Lahore to suspend route permits after fatal crash involvement
Lahore traffic police driving license suspension will follow every fatal or serious crash, CTO Sherazi said, with 117 licenses already suspended this year.
Lahore Traffic Police will suspend driving licenses after every fatal or serious non-fatal crash, subject to court orders.
Route permits of vehicles involved can also be suspended so other drivers cannot operate the same vehicle.
Heavy and commercial vehicles are 4% of traffic but linked to 44% of accidents, CTO Abdul Rahim Sherazi said.
117 drivers’ licenses have been suspended this year; authorities sought permit suspension for 97 public service vehicles.
Reckless-driving suspensions may last six months to three years; smog-linked vehicles face license action too.
