Auto News Desk – If you make a mistake while driving knowingly or unknowingly and the traffic police stops you on the way. In such a situation, if the traffic constable is taking out the keys from your vehicle, then this is also against the rules. The constable does not have the right to arrest you or seize the vehicle. Also, no traffic policeman can harass you without reason. In such a situation, you can also take action against him. However, many people do not know this. They get scared seeing the traffic police making a mistake. Actually, under the Indian Motor Vehicles Act 1932, only an ASI level officer can issue a challan for traffic violation. ASI, SI, Inspector have the right to impose spot fine. Traffic constables are only there to help them. They do not have the right to take out the keys of anyone's vehicle. Not only this, they cannot even take out the air from your vehicle's tire. They cannot even talk to you in a wrong way or misbehave with you.

You should also keep these things in mind
1. To issue you a challan, the traffic police must have a challan book or an e-challan machine. If they do not have either of these, then your challan cannot be issued.

2. It is also necessary for the traffic police to be in uniform. The buckle number and name must be written on the uniform. In case of not wearing uniform, the policeman may be asked to show his identity card.

3. The head constable of the traffic police can only fine you Rs 100. Only the traffic officer i.e. ASI or SI can impose a higher fine than this. That is, they can issue a challan of more than Rs 100.

4. If a traffic constable takes away the keys of your vehicle, then make a video of that incident. You can go to the police station of that area and show this video to a senior officer and complain about it.

5. While driving, you must have the original copy of the driving license and pollution control certificate. Photocopies of vehicle registration and insurance may also be useful.

6. If you do not have money on the spot, you can pay the fine later. In such a situation, the court issues a challan, which has to be paid in the court. During this time, the traffic officer can keep your driving license with him.
