Pakistan Tightens Grip on Traffic Violations with Hefty Fines
Islamabad. Pakistan has planned to implement stricter traffic rules and significantly hiking fines for violations from 1st January. Buckle up and drive responsibly, because ignoring these new regulations will cost you dearly.
Speed demons beware: Exceeding the limit will now cost motorcyclists Rs.1500, car drivers Rs.2500, passenger vehicle operators Rs.10,000, and cargo truck drivers Rs.5000. Negligent driving also won't be tolerated, with a Rs.1500 fine for motorcyclists, cars, and light transport vehicles (LTVs), and a hefty Rs.5,000 for passenger and heavy transport vehicles (HTVs).
Hitting the road without a license is another guaranteed way to empty your wallet. Motorcyclists, cars, and LTVs caught unlicensed will face a Rs.5,000 fine, while passenger and cargo vehicles (HTVs) will be penalized Rs.10,000. Impeding the passage of emergency vehicles is simply unacceptable, and will be punished with a Rs.5,000 fine.
These new fines are a clear message from the authorities: road safety is a top priority, and reckless behavior will not be tolerated. So, before you get behind the wheel, remember: obey the rules, drive responsibly, and respect the lives of yourself and others on the road. Your wallet and fellow citizens will thank you for it.
