Posted on: 10/Dec/2013 3:41:15 PM
Buckling of seat belts was made compulsory for the persons driving cars from 9th December. Only 331 violators across the city were fined Rs 100 each on Monday. In a marked difference, most of the car drivers were seen wearing seat belts on Monday to avoid being penalized. Traffic police personnel, who was assigned to check for seat belt violations at major junctions along arterial roads, stopped the violating motorists and advised them to wear seat belts.
However, to avoid traffic snarls, traffic police did not conduct the checks on busy roads during peak hours.
A traffic police inspector said “We initially planned to stop car drivers who did not wear the seat belts. Since the traffic was heavy on Monday being the first working day of the week, we did not want this to result in traffic snarls. In the afternoon, we spotted motorists not wearing seat belts and advised them to buckle up,” said a traffic police inspector.
Meanwhile, police officials said, in the coming days more violators would be fined.
