2000 Points Given to 750 Drivers
More than 2000 points awarded to 750 motorists. That is the conclusion from the introduction of penalty points on May 10. A total of 1700 tickets were issued for traffic offenses under new legal provisions. If 750 drivers opted for a "fixed-penalty," however a little less than a thousand preferred that the matter be dealt with in court.

The most common crimes involve the use of mobile phones while driving (360 offenders), non-compliance with speed limits (343 offenders), non-compliance with the "lane discipline" (250 offenders) and not wearing the seat belt (250 offenders). Other offenses are the most recurrent non-compliance of the white line and traffic lights and not wearing helmets.

For Inspector Mohit Rama the Traffic Branch, "While motorists show more discipline since the introduction of penalty points, but there are still those, including motorcyclists, who tend to drive in a dangerous manner , making zigzags to sneak a way without thinking about the consequences of their disobedience "actions. It asks road users to respect the rules of the road and avoid putting their lives or those of their neighbors in danger.
