Assam Traffic Breakers Loss is Department’s Gain with Rs. 20 Corer from Fine

None Refrains from Traffic violation fine in Assam, helping the department to extort Rs. 20 crore from violators. People plying on expensive cars hit the road as their ancestral property without fearing penalty of fine which attitude has been fast adapted by the public vehicle drivers to showoff that wheels are under their control forgetting traffic discipline.

Racing ahead like uncontrolled wind, overtaking and ramming on to public property recklessly the traffic violators fail to understand that they are not betting their lives but equivalently draining their money in fine. Numbness of the violators has enabled the traffic department to cream out handsome amount near Rs 10 corer since 2013. Last year traffic violators had contributed 2.9 corer what they think are cool?

Traffic violations cases have peaked alarmingly in the statewide with registrations of 85,000 cases in last year itself according to the department’s analysis report. More than 1000 cases of accidents followed with 200 plus loss of lives. The 24/7 drivers falling in categories of truck driving and public vehicle driving are registered to be the highest grosser of traffic violation.

The imposed traffic speed limits is 30-40 km/hour which is hardly observed by any vehicle drivers in Assam as people are in competition to reach ahead and you won’t know when suddenly from the  wrong side overtakes you.

Despite of interceptor vehicles for tracking reckless and drunken drivers, hardly any drastic changes to the traffic scenario could be witnessed though there is decline of violation cases from 1,18,696 in 2014 to 85,458 in 2015 was found.
