The fine for speeding is some 2500 pounds in London. We need similar types of fines here in India.
True.
Even more important than upping the penalty amount, police should be pressed into action on a regular basis than the usual end of the month checking, when they come out in droves to complete their chalaan target.
Regular checking will instill fear in the minds of the motorists. It is indeed a shame that to make people wear even the seatbelts, they have to be fined to make that a habit. Police personnels should have understood this long time back that the general psyche is like this and they need to be more regular and strict with fines.
People driving with high beams within city limits should be penalized heavily, and driving on the wrong side of the road just to save time should be made punishable by impounding the vehicle for X number of hours. Heck, turn their vehicles into a taxi for a day if the need be. Public humiliation seems to be one of the best measures to make people fall in line.
