Drive Safe or Pay Up: Karachi's Traffic Crackdown Hits Hard
Elon Musk just told Joe Rogan that Tesla will unveil a flying Roadster by December 31, 2025. Calling it “the most unforgettable product launch ever,” Musk says the Roadster will actually hover. The EV world’s been waiting since 2017, and if this happens, it could change both roads and skies. But experts question if Tesla can beat regulations, noise limits, and range barriers before lift-off.

Karachi drivers, heads up. The city's traffic police are now taking their responsibilities seriously. Get a valid driving license, or you'll face a Rs 20,000 fine. The e-challaning system is up and running full force, no more excuses.
E-Challans in Action: Over 4,000 Fines in One Day
In the past 24 hours, officers issued more than 4,000 tickets. That's a big jump. People are getting caught left and right.
The goal?
Make roads safer, not just fill pockets with fines.
DIG Traffic made it clear. This push follows the rules. It saves lives. And it keeps the city moving without chaos.
Common Mistakes That Cost You
Here's what tripped up most drivers yesterday. These numbers show where folks slip up.
No seat belt: 2,737 fines. Buckle up, it's quick and easy.
No helmet on bikes: 812 tickets. Heads matter.
Speeding: 116 caught. Stick to the limit.
Jumping signals: 169 violations. Wait for your turn.
Phone in hand: 157 drivers distracted. Eyes on the road.
Other issues piled on too. Illegal parking, dark tinted glass, wrong-way turns, and overloaded vehicles. Each one adds risk. And now, each one adds a fine.
Speed Limit: 60 km/h for Everyone
One rule stands out. No vehicle goes over 60 km/h in Karachi. Cars, bikes, trucks, it doesn't matter. No one gets a pass. Break it, and cameras will spot you.
This isn't new. But with e-challans, it's enforced. Better to slow down than speed through a ticket.
Why Bother? It's About Real Change
Fines sting, sure. But think bigger. Reckless driving kills. It clogs streets. It scares families. Enforcing these laws cuts accidents. It builds better habits.
And that license? Renew it today. Visit your nearest office or check online. It's your ticket to stay legal.
Drive smart, Karachi. The roads thank you. Your wallet will too. For more updates, visit DrivePK.com
