Now pay a fine for not wearing a seat belt on the car’s back seat, not installing a side mirror on bikes
To reduce the number of road accidents in the national capital, the Delhi police has made it mandatory for the two-wheelers to have a side mirror. For four-wheelers, the new orders said passengers in the back must have their seat belt on so as to void a challan.
Officials have further said that these rules are mentioned in both the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicle Act 1989 but the police wish to enforce them with strictness via fines.
Bike drivers without a side mirror will have to pay e challan of Rs 500 and a fine of Rs 1000 will be imposed for not installing the rear seat belt in the car.
The new Delhi police order also stated that it has been noticed that a very high number of two-wheelers have been seen riding around Delhi roads with their rearview mirrors removed....
