Relief for Commuters in Karnataka. State Govt Slashes Traffic Fines. CM Yediyurappa Directs Transport Dept to Reduce Fines Soon. BSY Asks Officials to Follow Gujarat Model to Slash Fines. Gujarat Became the 1st State to Reduce New Traffic Fines In the backdrop of Gujarat becoming the first BJP-ruled state to reduce the new traffic fines, road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari told the press that the amended Motor Vehicles Act is in the concurrent list and states as well as the Centre can revise and frame rules. He said the idea is not to increase revenue but to make roads safer.
.
The Gujarat government has largely tweaked fines on violations that come under the "compounded" category. Penalty on not wearing helmet/seat-belt was reduced from Rs 1,000 to Rs 500, blocking emergency vehicle fine was reduced to Rs 1,000 from Rs 10,000 as imposed by the Centre, vehicles without PUC attract Rs 3,000 fine in the state instead of Rs 10,000 and triple riding fine was reduced from Rs 1,000 to 100.
.
The Karnataka government, however, cannot tweak fines on serious driving rules violations like drunk driving (Rs 10,000), skipping traffic light (Rs 5,000) and juvenile driving (Rs 25,000).
