The Lahore Traffic Police said that underage drivers pose a threat to others and themselves. Luckily, no serious injuries were reported in the incident.

In a tragic accident on November 13, six members of a family, including two infants and two women, were killed in Lahore's DHA locality after their vehicle was hit by an underage driver in a speeding vehicle. The driver, Afnan Shafqat Awan, was taken into custody.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday declared that any vehicle driven by an individual without a license is a 'killing machine' and directed concerned authorities to take strict action.

The court also ordered authorities to register First Information Reports (FIRs) against motorists and motorcyclists and arrest the violators if they are driving without a valid license.
