The office has announced that it will conduct mandatory classes for drivers who drive vehicles at high speed starting next month.

Spokesperson at the Valley Traffic Police Office Senior Superintendent of Police Rajendra Prasad Bhatt informed the media that the system of awareness class with fines is going to be started to minimize the accidents caused by high speed driving.

Spokesperson Bhatt said that although 18,447 overspeeding drivers were punished in the Fiscal Year 2078/79 BS and 8,584 such drivers in the three months of the current year, they are going to conduct the class because of the lack of awareness among the drivers.
