There are numerous reported cases. As the number of incidents escalated, the Kozhikode Motor Vehicle Department's enforcement began to take steps to stop this.
Even though there is a little more work involved, these violators have been located and dealt with. According to RTO officials, accidents can also result from a two-wheeler speeding and obscuring its number plate. Seventy percent of those who commit these crimes are youths.
It has been determined to take severe punishment against repeat offenders, according to Kozhikode Enforcement RTO B Shafeeq. Â According to reports, the majority of RTO systems will be prepared to step up enforcement of the new violation mechanism.
Last month, a youth was caught multiple times on an AI camera violating traffic rules at Pazhayangandi in Kannur district. Despite receiving notices on his mobile to pay the fine for violating the law many times, he ignored it and continued to violate the rules. Following this, the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) officials went directly to his residence and handed over a notice, charging a fine of Rs 86,500 for violating traffic rules more than 150 times in three months. The officials also suspended the driving license of the 25-year-old for one year.Â
