Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Jun 28: People riding vehicles and others willing to break traffic rules need to be doubly sure before they do this again. Because unlike in the past, these violations attract heavier penalty.

Use of cellphones when driving, parking of vehicles in 'No Parking' zones, riding vehicles at high speed etc are the offences for which fines have just been enhanced. The new rates have come into effect from Friday, June 28.

Use of mobile phones when driving will be fined Rs 1,000 for the first time. If you repeat the offence, the fine will go up to Rs 2,000. If the vehicle does not have fitness certificate, fine for the first instance is Rs 2,000 and for the second time, Rs 5,000.

If the vehicle does not have insurance cover, Rs 1,000 would be levied for the first time. People parking in 'No Parking' zones will have to cough up Rs 1,000 for the first time and if they repeat the mistake, the fine will go up to Rs 2,000.

These fines are fixed within the limits prescribed as per Motor Vehicles Act 1998.

    No helmet, no fine. Buses stopping in the middle of the road to pick passengers no problem, No fine. Bus owners know whom to contact.

    Police cannot stop vehicles without "probable cause." They should have a reason i.e. speeding, broken signal lights, not wearing seat belt, talking on the phone while driving etc. It is illegal for them to randomly pull over a vehicle without any reason. Once stopped, it is their duty to explain the reason for pulling over. Traffic police should be provided with body cameras.

    All these stringent measures with hefty fines will only affect the common man, the middle class and the poor people. The Rich and the affluent have drivers and will enjoy complete immunity from these measures.

    For each potholes in the city, the corporation should be fines Rs.5000 as its dangerous and can kill riders.
    On highway for each pothole on National Highway, BJP should pay Rs. 10000 as the risk here is double.
