10 fold rise in traffic fines. Finally!

selfdrive · 18th November 2011, 11:47

Thirteen years since the last revision, brace for paying 10 times higher fine for violating traffic rules. The Union law ministry has given its assent for a quantum increase in fines to promote safe driving and curb soaring road accident deaths.

10-fold rise in fines for traffic violations - The Times of India

The primary objective of a fine should be to act as a deterrent and not to be affordable. While these revised amounts seem ok for now, they could be obsolete within the next couple of years.
Why not revise the fines to a percentage of the original vehicle OTR price? Some other suggestions can be discussed, but definitely a long overdue step in the correct direction.

Mods: please merge is another thread exists
