Sea View is an important recreational spot for the people of Karachi where they go to relax and have some fun. In this peaceful atmosphere the sight of bikers whizzing by at insane speeds is not a welcome one.Sea View has become a magnet for these thrill seekers who are attracted here because of the long stretches of open road where they can drive their bikes at high speeds.
Youngsters come here from different parts of the city. These bikers not only drive recklessly but carry out stunts like wheelies and no hands driving which cause a serious threat to themselves and the people around them. There have been many accidents in this fashion some of which have even involved fatalities.
Police periodically carry out arrests and confiscations of bikes but there are no permanent measures taken to discourage these acts. On the other hand bikers argue that since there are no closed tracks present in the city, these areas are the only places where they can carry out their activities.
The government should look to provide proper tracks for motorists so they can fulfill their passions in a safer environment and take strict actions against those who violate the road laws.
