Repeated Traffic Offences Could Lead to Licence Suspension
What Happened
Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said the government is working on a graded negative points system for driving licences and vehicle registration certificates (RCs). Under the proposed framework, every traffic violation would deduct points, and repeated offences beyond a specified limit could result in the suspension or cancellation of a driving licence and RC.
Key Takeaways
The proposal aims to improve road safety by penalising habitual offenders while rewarding responsible drivers. Gadkari said motorists with good driving records could receive incentives, including potential benefits from insurance companies, while repeat violators would face stricter consequences.
