Police to put squeeze on reckless delivery drivers

Punishment coming to those who violate traffic rules, ministry says

Chinese police will seriously punish delivery drivers for violation of traffic rules, as the sector's boom in recent years has led to many accidents blamed on their risky behavior, the Ministry of Public Security said on Tuesday.

On Monday, the ministry's traffic management bureau held a video conference with representatives of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. It was decided that the management of electric bicycles involving express or food delivery drivers would be intensified.
