Dear Sir/Madam

Road accidents seem to be common on the Prithvi Highway these
days. For the last few months, there has not been a single day when
accidents did not occur on the highway. Most of these accidents were
caused by reckless driving.

The other day, I was horrified to witness a dreadful accident. A young
biker and his wife were crushed to death when a speeding truck that
came from behind ran over them. Countless innocent lives are lost on
the roads in this manner.

Reckless driving could kill children, pedestrians and animals. A car
that spins out of control can harm other vehicles on the road too. In
addition, reckless driving can cause significant damage to property.
Thus, it goes without saying that reckless driving is a public safety
issue that must be properly addressed.

Yours faithfully,
Sumina Aryal
