Have you ever heard that a traffic challan can be issued even if the car breaks down on the expressway? No, but now be careful while traveling on the Noida Expressway because the administration has declared the Noida Expressway as a breakdown challan area. The administration has implemented new traffic rules due to the problem of traffic jams on the expressway.
Under Section 201 of the Motor Vehicle Act, if a vehicle breaks down on the expressway, the police can issue a challan of Rs 5000 to Rs 20,000. About 5 lakh people travel on the Noida Expressway every day, but the problem of heavy traffic jams has troubled people.
According to the Times of India report, traffic challans have been issued to 50 vehicles in the first ten days of February. DCP Traffic Police Officer Lakhan Singh Yadav said that if any vehicle breaks down on the expressway, the vehicle will first be seized and then a challan will be issued. Not only this, vehicles which do not have a valid fitness certificate or the necessary documents will be seized.
The breakdown rules implemented by the administration will be applicable to commercial vehicles, which means that if you are traveling in your own car, then these rules will not apply to you. This decision of the government will provide great relief to private vehicle owners.
If you drive a commercial vehicle (cab) then you need to be more cautious, whenever you take your car on the expressway, first check your car thoroughly. If there is any problem in the car, then get it repaired first, otherwise if your car stops in the middle of the way i.e. there is a breakdown, then you may have to pay a fine of up to 20 thousand rupees.
