With higher penalties for traffic violations such as riding without a helmet and drunk driving, the revised fines for traffic offences is all set to be implemented in Chennai this week.

For those riding without helmets, the fine will be ₹1,000 and a three-month suspension of licence.

The revised system will focus on underage motorists. In case of accidents involving such riders or drivers, the guardian or owner of the vehicle will be held responsible. They will have to pay ₹25,000 as penalty or undergo three years’ imprisonment. The amended act provides for a penalty of ₹10,000 on anyone blocking the way of an ambulance. Bikers who engage in racing will have to pay a penalty of ₹5,000.

Officials who earlier had powers to impound documents can now cancel licences.
