Not only the ban has been enforced in Karachi, but the district authorities of Islamabad have also banned pillion riding in the capital for two months.

The local bike-ride hailing service will not be allowed to ride with a pillion (adult). However, government officials will be exempted from this ban. It is indeed a good decision to think about public safety and security, but the authorities should make such measurements, which don’t restrict the people’s movement for such long times.

Moving onwards, Lahore Traffic Police, after Lahore court’s order, will be taking strict actions against the people who ride a bike without wearing a helmet.
