It was documented that a two -wheeled vehicle in Bangalore had paid ₹ 3 Lakh in sanctions for 500 violations, which means a deeper crisis. According to a Cars24 report, India has raised ₹ 12,000 million rupees in traffic fines at 202.4, with ₹ 9,000 million rupees not yet paid. With only 11 million people who have cars and 8 million rupees issued last year, the magnitude of non -compliance and weak application ask questions about road safety in the country.
Driving habits
The report, based on a survey of 1,000 people, revealed that 43.9 percent of respondents claim that they follow the rules, regardless of the police presence. Meanwhile, 31.2 percent verify the police presence occasionally before adjusting its driving, while 17.6 percent remain attentive to their environment and adjusts to avoid fines.
In terms of how surveillance cameras affect driver’s behavior, 47 percent of respondents claim that they drive in the same way, regardless of CCTV cameras, while 36.8 percent admit that only when they see a camera. The remaining 15.3 percent only fits the speed cameras, while ignoring others.
Important traffic infractions in the country include excessive breach (49 percent), safety helmet (19 percent), obstructive parking (14 percent) and signal jump and incorrect driving (18 percent).
But why do people violate traffic rules?
The survey revealed that people see fines only as minor incidents, not real ducks to stop dangerous behavior. Indian drivers only show conditional compliance, where more than 20 percent of respondents revealed that they would take risks even if the fines were double.
38.5 percent of participants admit that they pay a bribe once or twice, while 15.9 percent of respondents say they do Orte. Only 29.2 percent claim to pay fines in the right way.
So what is the solution?
The report suggests a combination of stricter sanctions and application of the law. Some of the proposed solutions include repercussions, such as the suspension of licenses, higher vehicle insurance and legal actions if the fine is not paid in time.
It must also include having an application more driven by technology, such as real-time monitoring based on AI and instant penalty systems where automated systems emit E-Challans immediately. Increasing awareness and demanding update driving courses could also help the safer and more consistent driving habits of SAPLE.
