5 minutes of hurry and 2000 rupees! Know how serious is the challan on overspending

Often while travelling, we are in a hurry to reach somewhere. Be it late for office or eager to meet someone, we often increase the speed of our car or bike. But can this haste to save 5 minutes cost both your life and your hard-earned money? The biggest ‘villain’ of most road accidents in India is overspeeding. This is the reason why the government has made a very strict traffic rule for those who drive at high speed.

Come, let us know how much your pocket can become loose if you also make this mistake.

Why is there such a heavy penalty for overspeeding?

This question comes to the mind of many people that why does the government impose such heavy fines for speeding. The answer to this is directly related to your safety and that of other people walking on the road. Statistics show that most of the fatal accidents in India occur due to speeding.

The science behind this is very simple. When you are at high speed, the car does not stop immediately if you apply brakes suddenly. It takes more distance and more time to stop. These are those few seconds which become the cause of a terrible accident. Many times this haste becomes so costly that people even lose their lives.

• On repeating the mistake: If you think that if you get caught a second time, you might get a warning, then you are wrong. Every time this mistake is repeated Rs 2,000 You may have to pay a fine of Rs.
