To,
The Commissioner of Traffic Police,
Traffic Police Department,
City Name.

Subject: Suggestion for stricter action against reckless driving and road rage.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to express my concern regarding the alarming number of fatal accidents caused by reckless driving and road rage in our city. Every day, the newspaper reports incidents that highlight the gravity of the situation. The root cause of these accidents is often the lack of awareness and strict enforcement of traffic rules.

I urge you to take stricter action against traffic violators, especially those involved in speeding, rash driving, and road rage. Fines should be increased and there should be a special crackdown on repeat offenders. In addition, I recommend that the Traffic Police Department collaborate with social media platforms to launch awareness campaigns about the implications of irresponsible driving. Social media campaigns can help in educating the masses, particularly the younger generation, about the consequences of such actions.

I hope you will consider these suggestions seriously and take necessary steps to improve road safety.

Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Shantanu
