Challan penalties are fines for traffic violations. The penalties vary amongst Indian states, including Assam and Rajasthan. Here in this article, we will discuss the same.

Traffic Violations & Penalties

Because traffic infractions vary by state, drivers must know all state and city rules and regulations. The following are the most significant traffic violations and punishments in Assam and Rajasthan

Driving A Vehicle Without Insurance

Driving without insurance leads to serious legal ramifications. Depending on the jurisdiction and severity of the offence, you may face fines, licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, or even imprisonment if you are found driving a vehicle without valid insurance.

Rajasthan: The same offence invites a penalty of Rs. 2000 on the first offence and Rs. 4000 for any subsequent offences.

Using A Mobile Phone While Driving

Distracted driving is a primary cause of accidents and can have serious repercussions. When you use a mobile while driving, your focus is taken away from the road, increasing the danger of a crash, injury, or death. An accident can be caused by a split second of distraction.

Registration and obtaining a Fitness Certificate are not only legal obligations, but they are also critical for road safety. These procedures ensure that your vehicle complies with safety regulations, reducing the likelihood of mechanical problems and accidents.

Unauthorised/Disqualified Person Driving The Vehicle

Allowing an unauthorised or ineligible driver to operate a vehicle poses serious safety hazards. These people may lack the knowledge, abilities, or legal criteria needed to operate a car safely. This raises the chances of an accident, injury, or damage to property or other people on the road.

A passenger can throw off the vehicle's balance, impede handling, and limit the rider's control.
