Delhi Traffic Offenders

Mumbai Traffic Police issued a notification which makes it compulsory for pillion riders to wear a helmet when out on a two-wheeler. The rule comes in to force 15 days from now and offenders will be penalised as well.

A traffic policeman held on to the bonnet of a car for nearly 400 metres after he tried to stop the vehicle which was speeding on a busy road in Delhi. Footage from CCTV shows the cop holding on to the car before falling on the road,his legs nearly missing the wheels of the hatchback driven by the offender as other vehicles drove past him.

Days after the government prescribed steep penalties for traffic offenders under an amended law, a number of states have decided to slash them in their respective jurisdictions on "humanitarian" grounds. Ironically, leading the charge are BJP-ruled states.

Delhi Police raised Rs.9.2 million from traffic offenders in just the first two months of this year, parliament was informed on Tuesday.

The offender, who was slapped with the stipulated Rs 2,000 fine, told police that he was going to office and there was no convenient transportation facility from his residence near Pari Chowk, the intersection between Noida and Greater Noida.

In the wake of recent spate of fatal accidents due to drunken driving in the national capital, the Delhi Traffic Police has written to the Transport Department to revoke the licences or permits of around 16,000 people or vehicles caught repeatedly for the offence.

Big brothers are watching... and reporting traffic violations on Facebook and Twitter. Recalling the Orwellian era with new age tools, citizens in the capital have armed themselves with cellphone cameras to assist the Delhi Traffic Police in nabbing offenders by posting pictures on social networking sites.The Delhi Traffic Police had joined Twitter...
