Driving an uninsured car or motorcycle may cost you dear, if proposed “New Road Transport and Safety Bill” passed by parliament without changes.
If a motorcyclist is caught riding without an insurance policy, the penalty will be Rs.10, 000, while owner of light vehicles and auto-rickshaws will have to pay Rs.25, 000. For any car or truck driver caught driving without an insurance policy, the penalty is as high as Rs. 75,000. This compare to a fine of Rs 1,000 for all vehicles under the law currently in place.
