Recently you might have heard about huge amount of fine being charged by traffic police. This came after amendment made by parliament. Was it required? In my opinion yes it was. Why one have to pay fines, if he/she violates the rules. People are furious about such huge fines it means they are still not willing to change themselves and blame government. If a person follows traffic rules why will he get fined. Government took this decision after taking several moral steps. Puducherry LG distributed Helmet to bikers, there was an advertisement by akshay kumar to create awareness about traffic rules etc. Despite all these steps, no. Of accidental death was not decreasing.( 1.5 lakh a year). This must be a welcome step by the government and we should join hands with govt. to reduce accidents.
However i have some concern on implementation of these rules. Psychology says to change any habit it takes 21 days so govt should have given some buffer time to public and in the mean time they should create awareness among people. I will applaud odisha govt for this for their delaying in implementation of fine and in the mean time educating people about new fines.
So i think its better to have license and follow traffic rules rather than paying fines. Also if you want to know about traffic behavior google about japan’s. I had the opportunity to witness this myself and i was astonished and i think when can i see India like this.
