In a bid to enhance road safety and curb the rising number of road accidents in the Noida and Greater Noida region, the Noida Police has issued a stern warning to drivers. The new directive emphasises that individuals who accumulate more than three consecutive traffic violation challans may face the cancellation of their driving licenses. Additionally, repeat offenders could face the suspension or cancellation of their vehicle’s registration certificate.
Key Points:
- Targeted Offences: The Noida Police is particularly focusing on offences that pose significant risks to road safety. These include jumping red lights, over-speeding, overloading, carrying passengers in goods vehicles, using a mobile phone while driving and driving under the influence of alcohol.
- Stringent Action: The police have underscored their commitment to ensuring road safety by taking decisive action against traffic violators. The move is a response to the alarming statistics, with the Noida and Greater Noida region witnessing approximately 1000 road accidents this year, resulting in nearly 400 fatalities.
- Driving License Cancellation: Individuals who receive more than three consecutive challans for the specified offences may face the cancellation of their driving licenses. This strict measure is aimed at discouraging reckless driving practices and promoting responsible behaviour on the roads.
- Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC) Suspension or Cancellation: Repeat offenders are not only at risk of losing their driving privileges but also face the possibility of the suspension or cancellation of their vehicle’s registration certificate. This dual pronged approach seeks to address the root causes of road accidents by holding both drivers and vehicle owners accountable.
- State Transport Commissioner’s Directive: The intensified crackdown on traffic violators comes after the state transport commissioner directed the police to take stricter action against those flouting traffic rules. The directive reflects a comprehensive strategy to enhance road safety and reduce the alarming rate of accidents.
