Traffic violations are actions committed by drivers that violate the rules of the road, endanger the lives of others, or cause inconvenience to other road users. In Haryana, like any other state in India, there are specific laws governing traffic violations and the penalties associated with them.
The fines for traffic violations in Haryana are determined by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and its subsequent amendments. These fines vary depending on the severity of the offense. For example, driving without a license can attract a fine of up to Rs 5,000, while driving under the influence of alcohol can attract a fine of up to Rs 10,000 or imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both.
Some common traffic violations in Haryana include over-speeding, not wearing a helmet or seat belt, driving without a valid insurance policy, jumping red lights, and using mobile phones while driving. These violations can lead to serious accidents and put the lives of both drivers and pedestrians at risk.
The fines for these violations in Haryana are as follows:
- Over-speeding: Fine of Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 depending on the vehicle type and the speed limit exceeded.
- Not wearing a helmet or seat belt: Fine of Rs 1000 for the first offense and Rs 2500 for subsequent offenses.
- Driving without a valid insurance policy: Fine of Rs 2000 for the first offense and Rs 4000 for subsequent offenses.
- Jumping red lights: Fine of Rs 1000 for the first offense and Rs 2500 for subsequent offenses.
- Using mobile phones while driving: Fine of Rs 1000 for the first offense and Rs 2500 for subsequent offenses.
It is important to note that these fines are subject to change based on amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act, and drivers are advised to keep themselves updated with the latest regulations.
