In a bid to spread the message of ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’ and ‘Drive Safe and Phone Later’, a vintage car rally was organised by a city club recently. The rally was flagged off by Navniet Sekera, IG 1090, from 1090 crossing and concluded at a five-star hotel in Gomti Nagar.

Chief guest Arvind Kumar, principal secretary Home, UP, welcomed the participants at the end point. “A lot of accidents happen on a daily basis in Lucknow because of drunk driving and also because of people using mobile phones while driving. Together, we need to spread awareness among people regarding following the traffic rules and regulations,” said Kumar while addressing the participants.

The vintaged beauties attracted a large number of spectators, both at the starting and end point. Several people took selfies with the vintage cars, while their owners were spotted protecting their cars from any kind of scratches during the process.

Sandeep Narain came with his three priceless beauties – 1947 MG, 1936 Packard and 1961 Fiat Pininfarina. However, due to some technical fault, his 1961 Fiat Pininfarina stopped midway creating a small traffic congestion. Interestingly, Captain Paritosh Chauhan came with six of his vintage cars.
