As per the new traffic rules, even if you are wearing a helmet, a challan of Rs 2000 can be deducted due to the Actual Motor Vehicle Act. If we are not wearing a helmet strip while driving a motorcycle, scooter, then a challan of Rs. 1000/- as per rule 194D MVA and if we are wearing a defective helmet that is without BIS then a challan of Rs.1000/- according to 194D MVA Invoice may be deducted.
In such a situation, despite of wearing a helmet, we may have to face a challan of Rs. 2000/- for not following the new rules. The aim is to make people aware by giving them information about traffic rules. So that road accidents can also be prevented.
Apart from this, according to the new Motor Vehicle Act, one may have to face a heavy fine of Rs 20000/- for overloading the vehicle and an additional fine of Rs. 2000/- per tonne will also have to be paid for doing so. This has happened in the past also when cases of deducting challans of several thousand have come to the force.
