Overspeeding is generally considered one of the main causes of road accidents and road accidents have come down due to the prevention of unauthorised vehicles and controlling the speed of vehicles through the use of speed guns on roads, the release added.

Besides, legal steps were taken against 583 unauthorised vehicles for carrying passengers.

Meanwhile, steps were taken against a number of various vehicles after setting check-posts at 2014 spots and 7,102 prosecutions were submitted.
