-ಗೋಪೀನಾಥ ರಾವ್
೧೯೮೯ರಲ್ಲಿ ಅನ್ವಯವಾದ ಟ್ರಾಫಿಕ್ ಕಾನೂನುಗಳು ಇನ್ನೂ ಜಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿವೆ. ದ್ವಿ,ತ್ರಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಚತುರ್ಚಕ್ರ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಚಾಲಕರಿಗೆ ಸುರಕ್ಷತಾ ವಿಧಾನ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಮಾಜದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುವಿಧಾನದ ಸಾರಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸಿ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತು ವರ್ಷಗಳಾದ ಬಳಿಕ ಇಂದೂ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತಿಯಲ್ಲಿವೆ.
ಮೋಟಾರ್ ವೆಹಿಕಲ್ ಆಕ್ಟ್ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ವಿಧಿಸಬಹುದಾದ ದಂಡಗಳ ವಿವರಗಳು ಈ ಕೆಳಗಿನಂತಿವೆ.
ನಾಳೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಾಹನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ ಯಾರಾದರೂ ಆರಕ್ಷಕರು ದಂಡ ವಿಧಿಸಿದರೆ ಯಾವ ನಿಯಮದ ಮೇಲೆ ದಂಡ ವಿಧಿಸುತ್ತೀರಿ ಎಂದು ಧೈರ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಕೇಳಬಹುದು. ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿದ್ದರೆ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯ ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಿಂಟ್ ಔಟ್ ಜೇಬಿನಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಒಳಿತು.
