The problem is Taxies overtaking on a blind raise . They should all have trackers and be fined accordingly . The problem is the traffic cops won't fine themselves they own the taxies.
Eish
Traffic officer are not doing what they are supposed to do. Instead of checking taxis they go behind taxis with drivers… What are they checking behind the taxi?
Please GOV 🙏🏼🙏🏼, we need duel lanes everywhere. We cannot drive on single lanes there is too much traffic
Taxies and drivers should be allowed once trip only.in 7days.
The problem is the Taxis on our roads , take tha taxis off rhe roads and the problem would be solved.
