Check vehicles for all violations

April 26, 2019

Sir,

In spite of continuous monitoring by the Traffic Police to inculcate some sort of discipline  to the undisciplined  road-users, we still find many traffic rule violations — one violation being the  registration number plate of the vehicles.

Based on the class of the vehicles, the MV Act (Rule 50, 51 of MV Act, 1989) clearly stipulates the font size of front and rear letters and numerals with clear mention of the dimension  and location of both the number plates.

The MV Act clearly emphasizes that fancy lettering is not permitted. The rule also states  that other than registration number, no other matter like  names, pictures, artworks should be displayed on the number plate.

We find vehicles with fancy letters and numerals in different fonts  which cannot be easily deciphered. And many two-wheelers ply without a registration number plate or with a blank number plate.

When a vehicle without an  easily readable number plate or with a blank number plate is involved  in an accident, since registration number cannot  be recorded, riders of the accident causing vehicle  will escape from the clutches of law.

Though we have all rules and regulations framed to inculcate traffic discipline, there is a visible lacuna in implementing the rules owing to the lackadaisical approach by the authorities concerned.

While on the customary blind check of helmet-less riders, Traffic Police need to check the vehicles for all other violations also.
