Unregulated autorickshaws

Auto rickshaws have become a vital transport in the rural areas. However, unregulated use of these vehicles is often responsible for road accidents. Some autorickshaw drivers are teenagers, and almost none of them have a driving license. They do not have any idea about the traffic rules. At times, they engage in a race with fellow drivers to overtake each other.
I think the roads and transport authorities should take steps to regulate these vehicles under the Motor Vehicle Act for the safety of the passengers.
