Traffic invoice in the country equal to GDP of small country! 9,000 crores still outstanding

Traffic Fines in India in 2024: The Transport Department and the traffic police have been continuously implementing new rules and laws to run the traffic system in the country smoothly. Even the traffic fires were notable old, so that people do not break the traffic rules. But in the recent report, it has been revealed, how much people keep the law in the country by keeping the law in mind.

According to a recent survey report by Cars 24, the amount of traffic violations in 2024 across the country has crossed the GDP of many small countries. According to this report, around 8 crore traffic challans were issued across the country last year, whose total fine was around Rs 12,000 crore. This means that almost every other vehicle on the road has been fined at least once for violating traffic rules. The most important thing is that about Rs 9,000 crore is still outstanding in the amount of such a large fine.

11 crore people have cars:

According to this report, about 11 crore people have their own car in this country with a population of 140 crore people. In such a situation, you can guess yourself that the very small section of the population is responsible for such a big dues. This report gives a clear indication to how much responsibility drivers driving on the road.

This report states that, to know what the drivers in India think about road safety and challan? For this, 1,000 people were included in this survey. It was clear in this survey that, most people follow the rules only when it is necessary, not keeping security on the road. You will also be surprised to know the answers that people have given in this survey-

• 43.9% of people say that they only follow the rules in the presence of traffic police.
• 31.2 % of the people said that they sometimes investigate the presence of the police before making changes in their driving.
• 17.6% of the people admitted that they actively monitor the activities around them to avoid fine.

This shows that many drivers consider road rules to be optional until they see any traffic policemen on the road.

How do the driver react when traffic police appears?

• 51.3% of the people said that they first look at the speed on seeing the police on the road.
• 34.6% of people immediately slow the speed of the vehicle, even if they are not violating any rules.
• 12.9% of the people admitted that they change their driving style, so that they do not get caught.

These figures are witness to the fact that the rules are being followed by the drivers, not habitual but due to fear.

You are in the eyes of the camera- what do the drivers do in such a situation?

• 47% claim that they drive in the same way despite CCTV cameras.
• 36.8% of the people admitted that they walk slow only when they see the camera.
• 15.3% of the people said that, they only reduce speed due to cameras, in such a situation they ignore others.

This makes it clear that the traffic system cannot be left only by the trust of technology. People also find all the way for this.

These rules are most violated in India:

This report also mentions some unique examples of traffic rules violation-

• In Haryana, a truck operator was fined Rs 2.00 lakh for loading more than 18 tonnes of goods.
• In Bengaluru, a two-wheeler driver was fined Rs 2.91 lakh for violating 475 different traffic rules.
• In Gurugram, the authorities issued more than 4,500 invoices every day. Due to which a fine of about Rs 10 lakh was charged per day.
• Noida Traffic Police imposed a fine of Rs 3 lakh related to helmets in a month.

In this survey report, it has also been highlighted that, for what reasons people violate traffic rules. According to the survey, three major psychological reasons have been revealed behind repeated traffic violations, in which-

1- Many drivers believe that fine is a minor inconvenience rather than prevention.
2- About 60.3% of the people say that they are already following the rules, but 20.4% people admitted that they take risks even if the fine is doubled.
3- About 14.2% people talk to the traffic police to avoid invoices. Which proves that corruption and informal agreements are still the easiest way.

What does the report say about bribe?

It has also been clarified in this report that, still most people find a middle way to avoid the invoice or to avoid fine when caught in violation of traffic rules. For this, they talk to the traffic police on the spot or try to bribe them.

according to the report-

• 38.5% admitted that he had given bribe once or twice.
• 15.9% say that they do this often.
• 29.2% people always claim to pay fine correctly.

Two-wheeler or four-wheeler- Who breaks more rules?

This report states that, the highest 55% of four -wheelers violate rules by drivers. Does not happen At the same time, about 45% of the rules are violated by two -wheelers.

The purpose of the challan is to prevent unsafe driving. But when 75% of the 12,000 crore fine issued in 2024 is not paid, it raises serious questions how we see traffic laws. This not only highlights the shortcomings of law information that makes rules but also shows a big difference in public accountability of common people.
