More severe fines for driving infractions were recently implemented in India. These increased fines, which include community service and jail time, demonstrate a zero-tolerance policy for traffic offenders. Here are some important updates on the revised fines that you should be aware of.
Driving a Vehicle While Intoxicated
You might face a fine of ₹10,000 or six months in jail if you are found to have driven under the influence. Repeat offenders risk up to two years in prison and a fine of ₹15,000. Fines used to be between ₹1,000 and ₹1,500. In addition to a ₹1,000 fine, riding without a helmet might now result in a three-month license suspension.
Heavy Penalties for Common Violators
The penalty for using a cell phone while driving has increased from ₹500 to ₹5,000. This emphasizes how dangerous inattentive driving is. It will also cost you ₹1,000 if you don't use seat belts. These actions emphasize how crucial it is to follow fundamental safety guidelines. The penalties for driving without the required paperwork, such as a valid license or insurance, are ₹2,000 and ₹5,000, respectively. In addition, offenders risk community service and three months in jail. Repeat infractions of insurance can result in a ₹4,000 fine.
Serious Repercussions for Risky Driving
There is now a ₹1,000 punishment for triple riding on two-wheelers. Racing or reckless driving carries a steep fine of ₹5,000. Ignoring ambulances and other emergency vehicles can cost you ₹10,000. The purpose of these fines is to encourage safe driving practices.
Signal jumping is now punishable by a fine of ₹5,000. The penalty for overloading a vehicle has been raised from ₹2,000 to ₹20,000. The goal of these policies is to discourage dangerous driving practices.
Strict Guidelines for Minors
A fine of ₹25,000 and three years in jail are the harsh penalties for minors who are caught breaking traffic laws. They will also not be allowed to get a license until they age 25 and their car registration will be canceled.
Absence of pollution Certificate
A ₹10,000 fine or six months in jail and community work may result from not having a pollution certificate. These actions demonstrate the government's dedication to lowering vehicle emissions and encouraging ecological stewardship.
