The driving license of the rider could also be suspended for three months if this new rule is violated
In a push to make roads safer, Mumbai traffic police recently announced a new rule making it mandatory for both the two-wheeler riders to be wearing a helmet. From today, the rule will be put into action and if the pillion rider is caught without a helmet, then a Rs 500 fine will be levied. Additionally, the rider of the motorcycle could also have their driving license suspended for 3 months.
Keep in mind that this new rule comes after the government recently updated the 1998 Motor Vehicles Act to add an instant fine of up to Rs 2,000 for two-wheeler riders for not wearing helmets properly.
As per the update, fines of up to Rs 2,000 can be imposed under the following situations:
— If the rider is wearing a helmet but the buckle is untied. This will invite a fine of Rs 1,000
— If the helmet does not have a genuine BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification you may be charged with a ₹1,000 fine.
— Other traffic violations such as jumping a red light will also attract a hefty fine of Rs 2,000 despite wearing a helmet.
All of this means that those travelling on two-wheelers need to make sure to keep these rules in mind as not following them could result in a massive fine.
