This thread reminded me why I joined pakwheels
I was a silent guest observer since long on pakwheels
Last year when I got pulled over by the warden and got the kind speech he gave which made me realise my wrong I joined this forum specifically to keep me engaged in something motoring relating and relieve the urge to drive as I promised myself I won't drive again till I get my license
And it's threads like these and other news and driver education threads that kept me motivated and today I feel proud to be a part of this forum not only observing but contributing and have reached senior member no of posts.
Btw I had got pulled over for running a red light to not make a uturn which I hadn't seen
The warden did explain me about the menace of underage driving and told that every week there are easily two accidents in Lahore regarding underage kids driving and worrying thing is most of them he said were parents faults and they all were accidents in big cars and land cruisers.
The warden was very kind and we shook hands even leaving with my father driving. He also showed me a book giving him wide ranging authorities which included to arrest and impound the car of any one driving underage. Although arresting may sound harsh it was part of a new drive they were conducting those days against underage drivers like these days they were doing against tinted windows. He after discussing with his colleague let me off lightly with a challan to my father only as we agreed and understood to what he was trying to explain and didn't mention any source etc despite my father being a gov official.
The point of writing this is that it may motivate someone to stay away from underage driving like it did to me and not be proud of this act and also respect the police whether they stop you or not, someday they might and you may not be so lucky then.
