Matching Number Plates
Under the Motor Vehicles’ Ordinance, 1965, colour of number plats and
writing has been defined. There is distinction between private vehicles and
commercial and their respective colour of number plates. Now-a-days, a new
trend has emerged. Matching colour of number plates is being used, whereas it
is clear cut violation of traffic laws. Police does not make any challan to
those who violates in big cars but poor drivers are being challaned. High
officials of the traffic police should take strict action for the compliance of
law.
It is also notable thing that use of plastic number plates is
prohibited at law under section 32 of the Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1965,
whereas prestige car are using frequently plastic number plates but no one is
taking cognizance of it. Poor car owners or motorcyclists are main target of
traffic police. Higher Police Authorities are requested to take action against
prestige car owners so that law and order should be maintained without any
prejudice. Discrimination between poor and rich should be avoided as law does
not regard personality. It is also in contrast of the Constitutional
provisions. Police should show courage to enforce law in its truer sense disregarding
personalities.
