Minor Driving: A Dangerous Risk to Life

Cheyyandane, Oct 27: In Kodagu district, the sight of minors—both boys and girls—riding two-wheelers has become a cause for public concern. There is growing apprehension that some youths, who have not yet reached the legal age to obtain a driver's license, are taking to the handlebars of motorcycles; by violating traffic rules, they are endangering not only their own lives but also the lives of others.

Recently, there has been widespread discussion regarding the rising trend of minors operating two-wheelers. Risky behaviors—such as riding without helmets, 'triple riding' (three people on a single bike), and speeding—further exacerbate the risk of accidents.

Parents Must Be Held Accountable!

Parents who allow their underage children to drive vehicles need to recognize their own responsibility. Yielding to a child's wishes by handing over the keys to a two-wheeler is a dangerous development from the perspective of safety. It is the duty of parents to educate their children about the legal age for driving, the necessity of a driver's license, and the importance of adhering to traffic rules. Nowadays, it is common to see underage girls riding two-wheelers; furthermore, instances of traffic rule violations—such as three people riding on a single vehicle—are also drawing public attention. This is not merely an issue concerning young men and women; it is a serious matter involving road safety and the protection of human lives. Therefore, adherence to traffic rules must be made mandatory for everyone, regardless of gender.
