Lahore Traffic Police Suspends 177 Driving Licences

Lahore Traffic Police has suspended 177 driving licences this year for drivers involved in fatal accidents. The Lahore Traffic Police figure covers this year, and it is limited to fatal cases.

Authorities have also been asked to suspend the route permits of 97 public service vehicles involved in fatal crashes. That step is a request to the authorities, not a statement that all 97 permits are already cancelled.

How the Lahore Traffic Police suspensions work

Licence suspensions in fatal cases are subject to court orders. Separately, negligent driving can lead to suspension for 6 months to 3 years. The 177 suspensions and the 97 route permits both concern fatal crashes. The 6-month to 3-year range is the penalty named for negligent driving.

Our verdict

The year-to-date number is 177 licences, tied to fatal accidents and still subject to court orders. Alongside that, authorities have been asked to suspend route permits for 97 public service vehicles, while negligent driving can bring a suspension of 6 months to 3 years.
