Gujarat: Wrong side driving twice will attract life ban

According to a media report, the Ahmedabad traffic police and the Regional Transport Office (RTO) have decided that those caught driving on the wrong side of the road twice will be banned from driving. The authorities have been reported to have cancelled seven driving licenses already.

According to the traffic police, an FIR will be registered against first time offenders and their licenses will be suspended for a period of 3-6 months. If the same person is caught driving on the wrong side of the road again, he/she will have his licence cancelled permanently. The person will also be blacklisted.

The old traffic law had a provision to cancel a person's driving license if he/she was caught breaking rules for 5 times. As per the new law, traffic police can recommend the RTO to cancel the license of a person if he breaks the rule on two occasions.
