Posted on: 08/Aug/2019 10:09:02 AM
Wearing helmet has become essential for the motorists in the Chennai city and 90% of fatalities that take place are due to helmet less driving are known. Inspite of this, there are many who do not follow this and get fined Rs 100 by the traffic police.
It is now brought out that getting away by just paying a fine amount of Rs 100 would be a thing of past. The sensational information is the traffic police have asked the motorists to be prepared to pay hefty fine amount of Rs 1000 for the violation as the revised fines are to be implemented in the Chennai city soon. To avoid any confrontation, the traffic police have decided to warn the motorists in advance.
It must be noted that the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill has been passed in the parliament. The fines for violations have increased many times. It is now said that the revised fines would be implemented soon once president of India gives his approval. Information is no excuse would be entertained from those who violate the rules. It was mentioned by the traffic police that most of the road accident victims were youngsters and many do not wear helmets while driving. There are few who do not tie chin strap even if they wear the helmet.
The traffic police mentioned about how the youngsters often go to the nearby places without wearing helmets knowing the truth that accident could take place even in a 10 feet trip also.
Point is road accidents could be avoided only if the motorists realize their responsibility and follow the traffic rules with self discipline. Both rider as well as the pillion rider must wear helmets without fail so that the road accidents could be prevented. It was later pointed out by some police officers that there should be change in the attitude of the public.
After the revised fines get notification from the government then they would be implemented and this was as per Mr. Arun, additional commissioner of traffic. For creating awareness about the helmet rule, efforts have been taken now by the traffic police.
