Gujarat has a strong and ticking economy, but increasing prosperity has also led to a massive rise in number of two-wheelers and four-wheelers on the roads. While that is all good, unfortunately, it has also brought with it tragic consequences - road accidents. And they are rising fast. The state now sees more deaths in road mishaps than other parts of the country. Taking cognisance of such accidents and looking for strong and effective solutions, the state government has decided to cancel the driving licenses of those who are found responsible of causing fatal accidents.

Zee Business has found that the situation in Ahmedabad is deplorable on the basis of some startling facts. 

In Ahmedabad, youths on the city roads were seen to be driving rashly and even on the wrong side of the road. When stopped and quizzed about their breaking of the rules, they said that they willingly flout traffic norms. Realising the grim situation could go from bad to worse, the police has started creating awareness through special drives.
 
The drive has led to many wrongdoers being caught. One such youth caught breaking traffic rules repented and said that he would not do so in future.

Another one accepted that he broke traffic rules, but vowed not to do it again.

In his reaction, Deepak Vyas, SP Traffic, Ahmedabad, said that people often break traffic rules, therefore, the police has been forced to launch a special drive.

Indicating how seriously the police is taking this situation was Gujarat's Transport Commissioner, VP Patel. He said that those found guilty of causing fatal accidents will have their driving licenses cancelled. 

Notably, cancellation of driving license will come into force with immediate effect, and the person concerned will then have to get a new license. The details of rough driving on his part will remain in the database of RTO department. 

Another matter of concern for the police is that most of the cities in Gujarat, a majority of people don't use seat belts in cars and very few use helmets while driving two-wheelers.
