In order to control violation of traffic rules and reduce road accident fatalities, the latest update to the 1998 Motor Vehicles Act has added an instant fine of up to ₹2,000 for two-wheeler riders breaking rules on wearing helmets improperly. These can be imposed regardless of whether the riders are wearing helmets, <i>livehindustan</i> reported.
Fines up to ₹2,000 can be imposed under the following circumstances:
> If you are wearing a helmet but the band/buckle is untied while driving a motorcycle or scooter, you will have to pay a fine of ₹1,000.
> If your helmet does not have BSI (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification you may be charged with a ₹1,000 fine.
> If you violate other traffic rules, such as jumping the red light, you will pay a hefty ₹2,000 fine despite wearing a helmet.
A ₹20,000 will have to be paid if…
Apart from the above-mentioned violations for motorcyclists, you may have to face a huge fine of ₹20,000 for overloading the vehicle. An additional fine of ₹2,000 per tonne will also have to be paid for doing so.
