The Madras High Court has taken upon itself the responsibility of finding a solution to youngsters indulging in reckless riding and driving of motorcycles and cars on public roads. It has decided to bring in “a conveyor belt-like mechanism” for reforming such youngsters. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh has sought the assistance of the Greater Chennai Traffic Police (GCTP) and State Public Prosecutor (SPP) Hasan Mohamed Jinnah in finding a solution to the problem of youngsters, aged 18-25, indulging in rash riding and driving.
When the judge took up one such case as a test case and called upon the SPP for assistance, Mr. Jinnah submitted a status report filed by R. Sudhakar, Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Greater Chennai Police, listing the possible solutions.
