City Traffic Officer Rawalpindi Mazhar Iqbal has advised the bikers to use back view mirrors as one glance can save a two wheeler’s life.
According to a City Traffic Police (CTO) spokesman, the CTO had directed the City Traffic Police (CTP) Education Wing (EW) to accelerate the awareness campaign about use of back view mirrors.
Mazhar Iqbal said most of the road accidents and deaths of the bikers reported, were because of non-usage of back view mirrors.
Side-view mirrors are an important road safety aid, he said adding, the CTP had taken a new initiative to make roads safer for two-wheeler riders.
The spokesman informed that CTP also distributed awareness pamphlets and back view mirrors among motorcycles under ongoing awareness campaign launched by Education Wing of CTP here the other day.
He said, the CTP were making efforts to spread awareness about the rear view mirror which must be used by the two-wheeler riders, as these mirrors are the rear eye of the drivers during heavy flow of traffic on roads.
