Indian Govt. has issued new Traffic Rules and Regulations, Everyone should be aware of the same.

in #mgsc6 years ago

As India is a booming country hence the traffic scenario in the country is changing very quickly. And for controlling the traffic Indian Govt along with traffic police of states have their own research and development team. And the team constantly works on how to develop new traffic safety rules which will promote road safety. For running a smooth traffic in crowded cities The Govt Of India has updated some Traffic rules. However we believe that in crowded cities like Delhi, Bombay, Pune and many others only heavy penalties is not enough, Govt need to run traffic awareness program to educate people about traffic rules, so that everyone should follow the traffic rules.

you can check some of the important rules below:-

Now the traffic cops in Uttrakhand can seize your mobile phone along with driving license, if they found you talking on the phone while driving or riding. The Nainital High Court authorized that those found speaking on mobile phones anywhere in Uttrakhand will now have their devices confiscated by the police for at least 24 hours after issuing a valid receipt.

The Rajasthan High Court has issued new norms. according to them now the traffic police and the RTO (Regional Transport Office) has the power to cancel you driving license if found violating any traffic law including talking over phone while driving or riding. The court stated that photographs of offenders along with their details should be forwarded to the respective RTO for the cancellations of their driving license.

Many cities in India including Pune, Bengaluru and very recently cities in Punjab has seen a massive crackdown against the use of loud silencers on motorcycles. Now the police have been directed that these motorcycles especially Royal Enfields with illegal and loud silencers can be impounded. The loud thumping noise from these silencers are not just a big cause of noise pollution but also reduces the efficiency of the bike and is a big safety hazard.

Watching videos on the phone while driving can also land you in trouble very soon. Across India, in the new motor vehicle act, there will be a new law to deal with drivers streaming videos on the mobile phone while driving. Popular video streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Youtube have made it easy to watch videos from anywhere that has resulted in driver distractions and caused many accidents. Government plans to double the fine and impounding the vehicle in severe cases.

Another national law is blocking or parking in front of any rescue vehicles like ambulances, fire truck or a police vehicle can cost a fine of up to Rs 2,000 depending on the city you are in.

At the end there is a little relief for public that you can not be fined twice for breaking the same law barring over speeding.
