In a significant move to enhance road safety, Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced that motorists accumulating five or more traffic violations within a year will be classified as 'serious offenders' and could face suspension or disqualification of their driving licence. This initiative aligns with the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 and aims to tighten enforcement against repeat offenders. Challans will now be issued in the name of the registered vehicle owner, with notifications sent via SMS, email, or other digital channels, ensuring a transparent record of violations. Under the new regulations, motorists have 45 days to either pay fines or challenge them through an online grievance redressal system. If no action is taken, the challan will be deemed accepted, requiring payment within the next 30 days. The rules also stipulate that motorists can no longer directly approach courts for relief; they must first utilize the grievance mechanism. Failure to meet deadlines will result in stricter penalties, including daily electronic notices and potential vehicle impoundment, subject to court orders.
