Motorway Police have imposed a heavy fine on a car driver for making TikTok videos and violating traffic rules on M3-Motorway. According to the police, the individual was driving rashly on the motorway. “He was also making TikTok videos with his friends,” the police added.
The police stopped them after watching the violations through CCTV cameras. “They were fined for reckless driving, having no license, violating lanes, and disturbing the traffic flow,” police added.
This is not the first time that police have tackled a TikTok-crazy individual. Last year in Sialkot, police arrested a TikTok star who was disguised as a beggar. After suspicion, police arrested him, and after washing his face, it was revealed that he is a video maker on the social media platform.
Police recovered US dollars, UK pounds, and Saudi Riyals from the impersonator.
In February 2021, drivers travelling on motorway asked to be extra careful, as they will have to pay a fine for overspeeding under any circumstance. According to media reports, National Highway and Motorway Police installed the world’s best and latest intelligence Transport System on Multan-Sukkur M-5 Motorway.
The police have issued a warning to the commuters after installing this system. This new system’s cameras will automatically take a picture of speeding or any violation of traffic.
Multan-Sukkur Motorway:
It is pertinent to mention that Multan-Sukkur Motorway is the longest national highway of Pakistan and a vital part of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The 292-kilometre-long road was constructed at the cost of Rs2.89 billion. The road connects Multan, Shujabad, Bahawalpur, Uch Sharif, Rahim Yar Khan, Sadiqabad, Ghotki, Panu Aqil and Sukkur.
Furthermore, this motorway reduces the travel by 75 kilometres as compared to National Highway. Moreover, the travel time has been reduced from 6 hours to 3.30 hours. The government inaugurated the road in September 2019.
Meanwhile, preparations for the construction of its next phase, from Sukkur to Hyderabad, are underway.
