EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A number of studies have been undertaken to determine the effects of One Wheeling

among the young people and reasons behind this strange Stunt. The studies show that

it is a kind of thrill and fun for young bikers which make them happy but the results

of this dangerous fun are worse. The minimum outcome is serious body damage and

6
the maximum is death. Riding on a bike and using single wheel simple means driving

to death. The survey repots shows that in almost 88% cases of one wheeling accident,

the end result is death.

In this project report, there is a brief description about the reckless driving in

Pakistan, reasons and effects of reckless driving. The term one wheeling is described

in detail in the report and measure taken by the government to stop /discourage the

young people from this dangerous stunt. The remedial measures are also explained in

the report.

Reckless driving is a mental state in which the driver of an automobile

According to the official account 24 boys have died in Pakistan, in every
month, while performing one wheeling on roads but police sources
revealed that the actual number of deaths by racing & wheeling was more
than thrice that because it could not been confirmed whether the other
died in road accidents on while performing one wheeling.

STEPS TAKEN BY AUTHORITIES

ITP activate against wheelers & car racers

ITP reactivated its special squad to car racing, one wheeling & speed up
efforts for proper patrolling on city roads.
It has also been decided to increase & strength of squad & provides them
more resources for effective patrolling on city roads.

The SSP (Traffic) Dr. Sultan Azam Temuri has ordered strict action
against those involved in one wheeling, car racing.
6 offenders were arrested for one wheeling & car racing, while the squad
also impounded 2 cars & 65 motorcycles.

Punjab government law against reckless driving & wheeling

The Punjab government also

introduces a strict penalty on one
wheeling & reckless driving in public
places by passing the Provincial
Motor vehicle (Amendment) bill

According to the amended act, passed
by Punjab Assembly, whoever rides a
motor bike on one wheel &
consequently put lives & property in danger, is liable to be punished with
imprisonment for a term that may extend up to 6 months or with a fine
that may go up to Rs. 5,000(US $82)
Moreover, the motor bike of
the offended can be fortified at
the time of conviction of the
accuses.
Note

This is only the paper work &

tries to show
“We are applying law against
dead riders”
but still there is no law. Problem has not been solved yet as flocks of
motor cyclist & one wheelers can be seen on city roads, especially on
Saturday & Sunday night.
