The netizens have been coming up with reactions after the amended MV Act that imposes heavy penalties for traffic violations across India. A person on Twitter with the username@imsandysinha, "People are enjoying the #NewTrafficRules, Salary 8k ki or #traffic chalan 15k ka."
"Four wheelers : seatbelt compulsory, two wheelers : helmet compulsory, Auto-rickshaw : three wheeler : so no seatbelt and no helmet. At least make them use the indicator #NewTrafficRules," another tweet read.
Another person with a username @imComputerGeek, uploaded a photo of a man driving a van wearing a helmet with the caption,"When you can't afford breaking #NewTrafficRules because of #TrafficFine." "Based on new traffic rules, here comes a new threat from wives: saree dila rahe ho ya seat belt hata dun??," another user tweeted.
An auto-rickshaw driver in Bhubaneswar was, on Wednesday, fined a whopping Rs 47,500 for violating a slew of traffic rules under the Motor Vehicles Amendment Act 2019.
In a similar case, a Delhi man was fined Rs 23,000 on Tuesday for riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet and also for not carrying the relevant documents.
