Hi there… Hope you doing fineIndian Central Government recently made some major increase in traffic violation penalties that will be applicable all over India. We believe the same as a pretty good move and its going to help the society in terms of decreasing road accident percentage rate. Old fine amounts were comparatively less than the newly amended traffic penalty charges and people were really don’t care about these bucks and majority of us used to violate traffic rules here and there
The new major amendment will make people think before they violate the traffic rules. Each and everyone among us should make a look on changed Indian traffic violation charges and fines. Please keep in mind that all the rules have been made for our safety
Always drive safe and let it be a lesson to others as well
So now we will have a look on the changed penalty rate against traffic violations.
