The new measures introduce stricter penalties across various violations, with particular focus on three-wheelers and underage drivers.
For the first time, the budget creates a dedicated category for three-wheeled vehicles, including rickshaws and loaders. Fines for these vehicles will now range from Rs200 to Rs10,000 depending on the offense.
Violations of route permits for three-wheelers will carry a Rs5,000 penalty, doubling for repeat offenders.
The government has also cracked down on fraudulent licenses, proposing fines between Rs5,000 and Rs10,000 for those caught driving with fake documents.
Additionally, penalties for underage driving will see substantial increases, with fines for motorcycle riders under 18 rising from Rs1,000 to Rs3,000, and small car drivers under 18 facing increased fines from Rs2,000 to Rs5,000.
Officials stated these measures aim to improve road safety and discipline across the province. APP
