The growing number of heavy bikers in Islamabad is becoming increasingly dangerous to themselves and other road users. Many of them are either teenagers or minors who do not have driver’s licenses for heavy bikes but their ‘thrilling’ activities largely influence other youngsters to join this avocation.
Speaking on the matter, SSP Traffic, Rai Mazhar Iqbal, mentioned that there is no specific license for heavy bikes had been issued.
“We issue the license for two-wheelers under the driving license rules issued in 1965 for all types of motorbikes,” he said.
