Motorway Police Official Notification on Alto Ban

For several days, social media platforms have been flooded with rumors about the Suzuki Alto, claiming that the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) had prohibited the vehicle from motorway travel. Additionally, speculation suggested that Pakistan Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) had halted the production of its most in-demand model.

These viral reports led to widespread uncertainty among drivers and car enthusiasts. Many individuals sought factual information to determine whether these claims held any truth. Following an in-depth investigation, official sources have now addressed the situation, putting an end to the misleading reports.

NHMP’s Official Response: No Ban on Suzuki Alto

The Motorway Police released an official statement refuting the claims:

“There is no truth to the reports circulating on social media regarding a ban on Suzuki Alto. The NHMP confirms that no such decision has been made. The public is urged to rely only on official sources for accurate updates.”

This statement clarifies that the Alto remains fully permitted for use on Pakistan’s motorways, dismissing all previous false claims.

How the Rumors Started?

The speculation began gaining traction following a tragic incident where a Suzuki Alto was crushed by a heavily loaded 12-wheeler truck on a motorway. The accident’s graphic visuals spread rapidly across social media, sparking safety concerns about small vehicles on highways.

Although the ban rumors have been proven false, the discussion surrounding compact car safety has intensified, with many questioning the structural integrity of lightweight vehicles.

Despite its popularity for fuel efficiency and affordability, the Suzuki Alto has often been criticized for lacking advanced safety features. Numerous online videos highlight how even minor collisions can cause severe damage, raising doubts about its passenger protection capabilities.
