Colombo, December 22 (Daily Mirror)- An island-wide traffic operation will be launched tomorrow to inspect passenger buses during the festive season, the Police Media Division said.

Police said the decision was taken on the instructions of the Acting IGP after considering the increasing road accidents during the past few days and to prevent road accidents during the festive season.

Police said passenger buses will be inspected for over speeding, reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and buses unsuitable for passenger transport.

The public is requested to inform the police through hotlines 119 or 1927 of any complaints regarding traffic violations or WhatsApp videos of traffic violations to Divisional Traffic Officers in Charge.

"Inspected" for over speeding, ......."during the festive season"? What will happen after that? It is a shame that the IGP makes such idiotic statements. Every driver must be penalized for violating traffic laws all the time. Not just nus drivers during a festive season. If all drivers follow the rules, not only the accidents will be less,.but also congestion and emissions.

Not just during the festive season, this needs to be the norm.
