Nowadays, everyone likes to travel on their two-wheeler or four-wheeler. Wherever we have to go for a trip, be it Delhi or any nearby place, we set out with a car or bike- scooter. But there is one thing that we ignore, and that is our safety. Yes, we go out with the keys of our vehicle in hand, but we do not follow the traffic rules.
Do not leave the house just with the keys; also, know about the new traffic rules of the country. One mistake will attract a fine of Rs 25,000.
In such a situation come traffic rules, and if not followed, heavy fines are imposed. These rules were changed last month. The fine for these is huge, and if you do not pay the fine, extra charges can be imposed.
Let us tell you about these new traffic rules.
New rules have come into effect as of June 1, 2024
Although these rules have been in place for a month now, people who go out daily are not well aware of them. The new rules were issued by the Government Regional Transport Office with effect from June 1, 2024. If you drive at high speed or take over the steering at a young age, you will have to pay a heavy fine. According to the rules, if someone drives at high speed, he will have to pay a fine of Rs 1000 to Rs 2000.
You will have to pay such a heavy fine
According to the rules, if a vehicle is driven below the prescribed limit of driving, i.e., by a minor, then a fine of Rs 25,000 can be imposed. Meaning, if anyone under the age of 18 drives a vehicle, he will be directly fined Rs 25,000. Apart from the fine, the driving license of the vehicle owner may also be canceled. Also, the minor will not get a license until the age of 25.
At what age can one get a driving license?
You already know that you can get a driving license at the age of 18 years, but do you know that you can get a driving license at the age of 16 years as well? Yes, in fact, you can get a driving license even at the age of 16 to drive a motorcycle with a capacity of 50 cc. After this, when you turn 18, you can also get that license updated.
What is the validity of driving license?
The validity of a driving license remains for 20 years from the date of obtaining it. After 20 years, you can again get your driving license updated for a few years. For this, you will have to contact the RTO office and get your driving license updated.
They will also be fined
Under the new traffic rules, people who are found talking on their mobile while driving will be fined Rs 5,000. And even if you drive in the wrong direction, you will be fined Rs 5,000. Whereas if you drive dangerously, you will be fined Rs 5,000. You will also be fined Rs 5,000 for unnecessarily disobeying traffic signals.
If you want to drive car or ride bike anywhere in India without getting any fine, then you should be well aware of the road markings in India.
