Driving License Could Suspend or Cancel New traffic Rules

Despite heavy fines for mistakes like overspeeding, jumping red lights and not wearing seat belts, car and bike drivers often make mistakes. Even after the high rates of fines, there is no reduction in this.

In such a situation, the transport department is considering a point system to curb rash driving. Under this, if a driver drives at an overspeed or jumps a red light, then there will be negative points on his license. Not only this, if the number of these negative points exceeds a limit, then the driving license can be suspended or even cancelled. These negative points will be different from the challan. This means that the challans issued for overspeeding, jumping red lights and not wearing seat belts etc. will continue. Apart from this, a point system will also be added.

The final decision has not been taken yet, but the draft is being prepared. This proposal has been put forward in the discussion that has been held for this. The Transport Department has discussed this matter with all the states of the country and on that basis, preparations are being made to bring such a strict system. Such a system will come for the first time in India, but it is already in place in countries like Australia, Germany, Britain, France, Canada.

Not only this, the administration has started the point system system in some cities of China too. Sources in the Transport Department say that merit and demerit points will be added to the licensing system. In the next few months, the Motor Vehicles Act will be amended and then the point system system will be started.

Under this, demerit points will be added for making mistakes and merit points will be given for showing good behavior. In fact, in 2019, on the initiative of Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, the rates of traffic challan were increased drastically. The government believed that this would prevent people from rash driving and reduce accidents.

This increase has also shown only a minor effect. In such a situation, now the point system is being considered. Every year about 1 lakh 70 thousand people are killed or injured in road accidents. Now under the new system that will be implemented, it will be easy to catch the mistake of any driver with the help of electronic cameras.

Government sources said that if someone fears that his license will be suspended or cancelled, he will make fewer mistakes and will try to follow the rules while driving. This rule will be implemented after studying many countries. This was also considered in 2011, but no action was taken on it. It was then discussed that if someone makes more than a limit of mistakes, the license should be suspended for at least one year.
