Admin’s Note

The recent hit-and-run incident involving unlicensed driving is a very unfortunate and tragic event. It is especially heartbreaking that a child was affected. We need to recognize that driving without a license is not just a legal violation, but an act that endangers the lives of others. It is essential for society as a whole to address this issue, and I feel that educating people about the importance of having a driver’s license is crucial. Each of us must be mindful of safe driving and make efforts to prevent accidents before they happen.
