Violators are ready to croak up a hefty fine of Rs 10,000 or imprisonment for Drunk and driving as newly amended Motor vehicles Act has come into force from September 1. The amended act permits the authorities to give striker punishment to the violators of traffic rules and regulations.
Over speeding, jumping red lights, driving without legal papers and insurance, overloading of vehicles, drink and driving are all going to attract higher penalties also if the two-wheeler drivers are found without a helmet will not only have to pay a fine of Rs 1000 but there’s also a chance that their license may get suspended for 3 months. Not only this but if one does not give way to ambulance or fire brigade a penalty of Rs. 10,000 will be charged for the same.
