Reckless driving

Published November 2, 2010

KARACHI is an extremely congested city where news about accidents, quarrels, violation of traffic rules, etc., are reported on a daily basis. Most of these accidents happen because of fast and reckless driving and overtaking.

Most rickshaw, taxi, minibus and bus-drivers drive under the influence of drugs. Many accidents take place because of these drivers being in an intoxicated state. That's why taking drugs and drinking beer is forbidden in Islam because it creates many problems.
