traffic rules: These days, many cases of traffic rule violations are coming to light. Driving a vehicle without a driving license and registration is fined, and if the number plate is not correct, then too a fine can be imposed. Many times, when a vehicle gets old, its number plate gets worn out and some of its digits get erased. People do not pay much attention to this and continue driving in this condition.
Nowadays, vehicles are being monitored using CCTV cameras. These cameras are so powerful that they can even identify the number plate of a speeding vehicle. Whether someone is jumping a traffic light, driving on the wrong side or speeding, no one can escape the eyes of these cameras. But the question is that the vehicle has a number plate but if some of its digits get rubbed off, can a challan be issued? So let us know about this today.
Will the challan be deducted even if the number is missing?
The number plate is important for identification of the vehicle. It shows in whose name the vehicle is registered. Apart from this, it also becomes easy to identify vehicles violating traffic rules. But very few people would know that a challan can be issued even if the number plate is not maintained properly. If the number plate is hidden or some of its digits are worn out, then a challan can be issued in such a case also.
Tampering with the number plate can result in a fine of up to Rs 5,000. According to the Motor Vehicle Act, the number plate of the vehicle should always be visible. This was about hiding the number, but not only hiding the number, a fine can be imposed for not installing a fancy number plate or a high security number plate.
Avoid these mistakes too
Some precautions related to the vehicle number plate should always be taken care of:
- The number plate of the vehicle received from RTO should not be tampered with. Its paint colour and size should not be changed.
- Do not make the mistake of modifying the number plate or changing the writing.
- A challan can be issued even if the number plate is broken. If this is the case, apply for a number plate again and replace the broken number plate.
