If you are driving, it has become very important to be aware of the new traffic rules. The Transport Department has made some important changes in terms of road safety, and these rules have been implemented across the country from March 2025. In this, the fine amount for violating traffic rules has been increased by 10 times and the punishment has also been made stricter. In all these cases, not wearing a seat belt, not wearing a helmet, breaking a red light or driving under the influence of alcohol, you will now have to pay a huge fine.
According to the new rules, wearing a helmet is mandatory while riding a two-wheeler. If a driver is caught without a helmet, he will have to pay a fine of Rs 1,000, which was earlier only Rs 100. Apart from this, the driving license can be confiscated and cancelled for three months. If three people sit on a two-wheeler, i.e. tripling, a fine of Rs 1,000 will also have to be paid.
Racing on the road or driving at a dangerous speed will attract a fine of Rs 5,000. A driver who fails to give way to an ambulance or fire engine can be fined a hefty Rs 10,000. The punishment has been made even tougher for drunk driving. A first-time offender can be fined Rs 10,000 or face six months in prison, while a second-time offender can face a fine of Rs 15,000, two years in prison, or both.
If someone breaks a red light, he will now have to pay a fine of Rs 5,000, which was earlier only Rs 500. Similarly, driving without a valid license can be punished with a fine of Rs 5,000, without a pollution certificate with a fine of Rs 10,000 or six months in prison, and without car insurance with a fine of Rs 2,000 or three months in prison. In some cases, there is also a possibility of having to do community service.
