Vijayawada: The police held counselling session to youngsters who violated the traffic rules. Even their parents were asked to attend the counselling in Guntur.
The police found 12 youngsters violating traffic rules, like driving their modified bikes in a zig-zag manner, travelling at very high speed, involved in triple riding, in the city on Thursday.
The police, led by Guntur Urban (traffic) DSP K. Supraja, seized the vehicles and called the parents of the youngsters. The cops warned the youth as well as their parents of stern action, if they were found repeating the same in the future.
Guntur traffic police, led by DSP K. Supraja, CIs Bhaktavashala Reddy and Ashok Kumar, conducted surprise checks in Guntur and found that the youth fitted special horns to their bikes, to draw the attention of other motorists. In fact, such steps would divert the attention of the motorists and lead to accidents.
Ms Supraja decided to adopt people-friendly policing under which the erring motorists would be counselled first and then cases would be registered against them, if they continued violating the rules continuously.
She said that the department also plans to conduct awareness camps to mechanics who are facilitating extra fittings and modifying bikes that are creating sound pollution.
