Motors Vehicles(Amendment) Act, 2019

With the introduction of the “Motors Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019” and with most states acclimating with it and a few standing by to look into the scenario and likely to enforce shortly after bringing a few changes to it as prescribed by the rules and regulations therein. Coming into effect, it has literally become a tedious task for the wrong-doers of roads to be the king anymore, especially riding bikes without a helmet, driving cars without seatbelts on, or even jumping red lights are now under the visage of an obnoxious crime.

The violators to this Act are gifted with a hefty challan bearing an amount which has been exponentially raised from the previous penalties. This is a seriously dire situation for the one who does not have any documents of his vehicle or does not abide by the traffic rules as to what he can do from now on is either to update or make the relevant documents or should start using Uber, Ola, etc. Somewhere in Gurugram, a challan of rupees twenty-three thousand was handed over to a biker who claimed to the media that the penalty was way much higher than what his bike actually cost in the real world. Another was a case from Sector 26, Noida, where an auto-rickshaw driver was handed over a challan bearing an amount of rupees 32 thousand for the jumping red light, outdated license, absence of registration card, etc. Likewise was a case happened with a truck driver where he was thrashed with challan bearing a whopping amount of rupees six lakhs for not producing the documents as asked by the traffic officials.

Eyeing all these situations, it is quite impeccably evident that government has started to bootstrap its revenue from the wrong-doers of roads which is in a way a shrewd idea to disseminate the safety on roads but went quite whimsical, indeed for the public. Few additions of finest thoughts into the law, say restricting the way of an AMBULANCE can even incite a challan of up to rupees 20000 is the quintessential part of all.

Therefore, evaluating all this incidences the only bottom line to be drawn is: “Today’s little obedience to the law may fix your foreign trips absolutely.”
