Transport Ministry to limit three wheeler imports

[nikdw]

Transport Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said yesterday that the ministry had decided to limit the importation of three-wheelers in future and to issue licences to drive three-wheelers only to persons above the age of 35 years.

While holding a discussion with several three-wheeler associations at the ministry, the minister said there were about 1.2 million three-wheelers in the country and new rules and regulations would be introduced regarding the transportation of passengers in three-wheelers.

Passenger transportation in three-wheelers was started at the end of the nineteen eighties and there were no laws to regulate the service, he said.

During the meeting the minister informed the three-wheeler associations of the new regulations -- and the associations had shared their ideas with him.

Nine main points had been discussed, and several proposals had been presented by the three-wheeler associations, including the raising of the speed limit from 40Km/hr to 50 Km/hr. The minister had promised to provide solutions after discussion with the police and other relevant institutions.

why we should stop three wheelers ?

* these vehicles dont have any safety standards.

* an uber ride is cheaper than a 3 wheeler ride on some occasions ( im wondering how on earth 3 wheel guys charging us a lot when the uber driver can drive us to our destination cheaper than a three wheeler. three wheelers have low fuel cost and low maintenance cost)

* we should use the energy of sri lankan youth population on productive things. most guys love to be three wheel drivers these days

* three wheelers make traffic on the street. slow three wheelers can make other big vehicles slow down

we should export used three wheelers to some other country.

not as threewheelers, as scrap metal, so the indians would take them back.
