Underage driving: Lahore authority bans students from driving to school

LAHORE: All school heads are now mandated to prohibit unlicensed students from bringing motorcycles and cars onto school grounds, according to a formal communique issued by the Lahore Education Authority.

This action has been taken in response to mounting concerns over the challenges posed by underage drivers, both for traffic authorities and school administrations.

The notification explicitly warns school management of repercussions should they fail to enforce these instructions.

In a bid to reinforce compliance, class in-charges have been instructed to warn students against arriving at schools bikes or cars if they have not obtained their driving licenses.

The broader initiative also calls on school heads to integrate traffic rule awareness into the curriculum and urged them to initiate dialogues with parents whose children violate the ban.
