Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (MS) 

Bengaluru, Sep 6: A youth from the city had the dubious distinction of being the first person to pay a hefty fine in the state of Karnataka, after the revised tariff for traffic rules violation fine was introduced, with an amendment to Motor Vehicles Act. 

The city traffic police slapped a fine of whopping Rs 17,000 on this person named Akash on Thursday, September 5. 

Akash, who works in a private company at Varthoor was riding his two-wheeler. He was under the influence of alcohol, while he was stopped by the traffic police. The police fined Rs 10,000 for drunken driving, Rs 5,000 for riding without licence and Rs 2,000 for not wearing the helmet.

 

Akash was caught on Kanakapura road of the city by the police. On investigation, they found that he did not have licence at all to ride the vehicle. In addition, Akash had violated traffic rules at KSIC College Junction at Raghuvanahalli a few days ago.

    Good Initiative. I do hope that the Mangalore police do a breath test on bus drivers especially express buses (Mangalore to udipi kundapur). My car was hit by one of these buses and we took the bus to the station.The Bus driver was definetly under the effect of alcohol but was chewing pan to mask the smell.The cop asked the driver how much did you drink.He replied "swalpa". Thats all. Nothing happened further. I was told to accept Rs2000 for the damage by the Bus owners representative.I ended up paying over 15000 for the repairs.
    I hope that the new fines will help stop rash driving after drinking.

    For drink and drive, the punishment is less, the vehicle must be impounded for 6 months...as it poses risk to fellow users of road, however according to me helmet and seat belt fines should not be more than 50 rs, as it does not pose any threat to third party on road. Rest of the fines are reasonable.

    At last, laws are enforced. That said, how about others who aren’t that bad or about the guys who have money to go to court to plead not guilty!

    A good lesson for all violating traffic rules.question is whether this person learnt lesson out of it and be thankful for allowing him to go instead of putting him behind bars.Here Police will take the person and put in a room where he can sleep out his rausch after taking the blood to see the alcohol percentage.According to it he will get either licence cancel and fine or he shouldnt drive for certain time ,remake the licence.
