How do poor driving habits and traffic congestion contribute to engine sputtering and pollution in Pakistan?
Frequent stop-and-go traffic and harsh driving conditions common in Pakistani cities cause engines to sputter due to irregular fuel supply and overheating. Idling and sudden acceleration increase fuel consumption and emissions. What driver education programs and traffic management improvements can help minimize engine sputtering and reduce pollution?

Stop-and-go traffic, frequent idling, harsh acceleration, and braking common in congested Pakistani cities cause engines to operate inefficiently. These driving conditions disrupt the fuel supply and engine temperature regulation, leading to sputtering and increased fuel consumption. The resulting incomplete combustion releases more pollutants, worsening air quality.
Driver education programs promoting smooth acceleration, reduced idling, and regular vehicle servicing, combined with improved traffic management and infrastructure, can help mitigate engine sputtering and its pollution effects.
