Recently, there has been a significant change in traffic rules in India that has caught the attention of motorists across the country. The new rule states that even if you are wearing a helmet while riding a two-wheeler, you can still be issued a challan (fine) of Rs 2,000. This change has come as a shock to many, as wearing a helmet has always been seen as a safety measure to protect riders from accidents and injuries.
Know New Traffic Challan Rules
The new traffic challan rules have been implemented to further promote road safety and reduce the number of road accidents in the country. Under these rules, not only will riders be fined for not wearing helmets, but they will also face penalties for other traffic violations such as jumping red lights, overspeeding, drunk driving, and using mobile phones while driving. These fines can range from Rs 500 to Rs 10,000, depending on the severity of the offense.
Impact on helmet usage
The new rule stating that even helmet-wearing riders can be fined has raised concerns among the public. Many argue that this will discourage people from wearing helmets altogether, as they may feel that there is no point in wearing one if they can still be penalized. This could potentially lead to an increase in head injuries and fatalities in road accidents. However, authorities have emphasized that the purpose of these rules is not to discourage helmet usage, but to ensure that all traffic rules are followed for the safety of everyone on the road.
