Traffic Challan: A necessary news has come out for the drivers of Bihar. Now if you are driving your car without third party insurance, then be careful. The state government has initiated strict action against insurance vehicles in cities like Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur and Biharsharif without insurance vehicles. Automatic e-challan will be deducted in these cities with the help of ANPR cameras Plate Recognition.
ANPR camera will cut invoice
The Transport Department said that the vehicles which do not have third party insurance updates will now be cut by them automatically. This challan will be with the help of ANPR cameras, who will scan the number plate and check the insurance status. Every day the challan of the same vehicle will be cut once, so that repetition can be avoided. A one -day grace period will also be given to the vehicle owner to deposit the challan amount.
Action being taken under the Motor Vehicles Act
Bihar Transport Secretary Sanjay Kumar Aggarwal informed that driving without third party insurance is punishable under Section 196 of the Motor Vehicle 1988. Under this, challan is being deducted in the form of mitigation fee. Earlier this arrangement was only on the toll plaza. But now it is also being implemented on the main roads of smart cities.
Two ways of cutting challans are being adopted
Two systems have been implemented for challan cutting. The first e-detection system, which is installed on toll plazas and major routes and checks insurance information. Second, through the hand hold device, the traffic police can investigate by being present on the spot and cut the challan immediately. This has made the system even more effective.
Why is third party insurance important?
Sanjay Aggarwal said that third party insurance is not only a legal need. There is also a means of security. If someone is harmed by your car or an accident occurs, then the victim is compensated through third party insurance. This also reduces the economic responsibility of the vehicle owner.
What will happen when caught without insurance?
If a vehicle is caught without a third party insurance, it can be fined up to ₹ 2000 under Section 196 of the Motor Vehicle Act. If the mistake is repeated then the amount of fine can increase further. Also, the vehicle can be seized in the police station.
Appeal to people should run vehicles responsibly on the road
The Transport Secretary has appealed to the people to drive the vehicle responsibly and always keep the necessary documents updated. He said that every person walking on the road should take responsibility. Only then can road safety be ensured. Third party insurance is not just a formality. Rather, there is a step related to life and property safety.
