Sri Lanka Police have urged parents to remain vigilant when handing over vehicles to young teenagers, highlighting the rising number of accidents linked to overspeeding and reckless driving.

He further emphasized that any parent who provides a vehicle to a young teenager must take responsibility for the consequences.
ASP Wootler added that laws alone cannot address the issue of overspeeding and reckless driving, stressing that parents must pay closer attention to this matter. (Newswire)
