In response to my previous post , many friends of mine wanted to write a post about what actually happens when you are caught for dis-obeying traffic rules . So , here it is .
Before I actually get into the topic , I wish to set a few things clear . Traffic police , as in any other departments has hierarchies .There are levels of supervision and each is held responsible to answer the the one under its control . These people in general , work for much longer hours than anyone (usually depending on the place they are in-charge of) . They have their tasks assigned . A particular number of cases are expected to be filed by them . Now this number usually comes with the statistics of the average number of such incidents and to make sure that this avg number is handled to keep things under , if not total control , at least to some level .
So what actually happens when you are caught .The personnel who is directly monitoring these traffic finds such people and takes them to their superiors who have the authority to file cases against one . Initially , it was all in paper but now everything is digitized reducing their work and is recorded instantly via GPRS .This not only reduces their work but also keeps a check on illegitimate activities in filing cases . Also note that these people who are authorized to file cases are under the scrutiny of anti-corruption squad (if not always , at times random checks do happen) .
1.E-challan is instantly generated based on the violations and fined . This is instantly stored in a main database .
2. The fine varies from 50 to 2500 and goes up along with punishment for very serious issues .
3. The fine is accepted at the very spot and a receipt is given . Only serious crimes and violations are directed towards the court .
4. FIR is usually filed for accidents and other severities and not for basic traffic violations .
These are the very basic stuff that one must know .
Obey traffic rules , drive safely and with all documents necessary . Lets make our roads better and safer .
Not long time ago, my sister also had trouble with a traffic ticket. To beat this ticket, she decided to hire a lawyer. Fortunately, she found a skilled and professional lawyer on a website named No Points Traffic Tickets and so she got out of this traffic ticket. Now, she is more careful when driving!
