    Why are parents allowing minor children to ride two wheelers??? Arent they concerned about their safety?? What kind of careless parent allows this?? And this is such a bad example. Seeing this negligent behaviour other children ask their parents to give them bikes and scooters too… This has to stop. Start obeying rules and teach the same to your children too. Just because you have a two wheeler you dont have to let a child ride it.

    Underaged riding is deliberate action to break traffic rules. Plus this case they were doing triple ride. The high fine amt is 100% justified. Those who break the law should feel the heat. Well done traffic police

    Nothing wrong in imposing heavy fines. Small fine will encourage further casual driving in the Road. Anyway it's Revenue Booster to the GOVERNMENT.

    In northern India, the police are never bothered to punish minors and terrible accidents are the results.

    This is a regular scene nowadays, some parents are teaching underage children scooties to do household runs.But they are puting the children and public in danger of accidents. There should be awareness created through implementing stricter punishments for the adults who is creating this danger in the society.

    Rs. 27,500- fine on the owner ! He would dispose off his vehicle to collect required cash to pay the penalty amount. 🛵

    Heavier fines should be imposed and more intensive checks carried out, to weed out this menace.

    Excessive fine. Earlier before 2010 it was common and we learnt driving at very young age. 27000 is too high fine when in night one in 5 vehicles do drink and drive in this country.
