Madam/Sir,
Want to draw your attention towards Kalar Kahar Accident in which several student killed.This news came on media, will live here for a day & then will disappear, people will forget & such accidents will occur again & again if no care will be given to such accidents.
Try to know the root cause, actually most of time bus accidents happened because brakes failed, tyre rod broke, over speeding, over loading etc.
All of the reason include carelessness nothing more.
why it happens because in Pakistan, there is no proper mechanism to inspect vehicle condition,
Greedy transporters are running broken ugly buses on roads without maintenance from last 40-50 years, they only repair when it stop running.
over speeding can be controlled by installing "speed governor device" strictly on each vehicle which fix that no public vehicle can go more than 60 Km/ H & car not more than 100 Km/hr,
Over loading can be controlled by such devices that will not let start the vehicle & start sounding alarm if it detects more weight than allowed on road.
all such devices can be installed on owner's cost at time of tax collection
These types of accident can be controlled simply if we impose strict "Motor vehicle periodic inspection system" atleast if not of europe standard then atleast those present in Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, they are known as MVPI (Motor vehicle periodic inspection) system which is must , In pakistan same mechanism should be used, wether you have new or old car , you have 1 day used car or 40 years old car, if you want to come on street get it certified from MVPI which should be valid only for 1 year
there should be seperate department where all cars should go, fully inspect from mechanical,electrical, physical damages , produce computerized report then same counter should collect Motor vehicle tax & then computerized sticker containing no. plate of car, color etc. should be print & paste on front wind screen of car so that it is tested & verified
That department should be seperate from culprit traffic police department & should be linked with motor vehicle tax.also thety should responsible for installing devices for speed governor & over load detection
In this way government will get solve many problems, fitness,controlling accidents, saving roads from over loading as well as tax collection.
In this system to avoid chances of corruption that people will pay bribe & get pass thier vehicle, that should be given under control of army or rangers.that area should contain cctv cameras , strictly monitor process to ensure transparency, all collection via bank challan only etc.
Machinery cost is less & can be recovered from car owners lets say take 300 Rs. per car excluding tax, in this way even MVPI centre will get profit too.
Initially we can take help from MVPI centres of Saudi Arabia.
