The vehicle must be driven with allowable seating capacity to ensure safe drive.
On Tuesday, the transport commissioner mentioned about how most road accidents in TN take place due to over speeding plus also due to over loading of persons in passenger and goods vehicles. It is revealed that suspension of driving licences for not less than 3 months is being strictly enforced now.
Many complaints were received regarding over speeding by stage carriers, mini buses, share autos, educational institutions vehicles and overloading of passengers etc. As per the notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways dated 4th April 2015, speed governors are being fitted in the vehicles.
