A man in Hyderabad was fined INR 1.82 lakh for speeding his Honda Jazz 127 times in a single year. The car has been captured at speeds up to 163 kmph at Hamidullah Nagar, Narsingi, Harshaguda and city’s outer ring road.
The offender has been issued 127 challans between April 4, 2017 to March 10, 2018. Each offence costed him INR 1435. Speed limit on that road was reduced from 120 kmph to 100 kmph due to rising high speed accidents and vehicle number TS 09 ER 2957 violates the limit many times every month.
Speed limit laws make it sure that vehicle gets seized after third offence but here, the case is totally different. He may not be using the phone number given at the time of registration and thus, will be missing all the messages being sent by traffic authorities.
he in charge of traffic police station of that area has made the fact clear that all toll booths have been notified about this vehicle and the owner will have to pay all these fines. 127 is a huge number and many experts have challenged traffic police regarding lenient approach to the offender.
The driver is a threat to the road as he/she violated a single rule for one third of the year. God knows how many times he has over-speeded in an area where no camera was available. Some people are making guesses that this could be a case where the car is driven by someone who does not know anything about traffic rules.
How could one just go on breaking speed limits everyday? Some are of the opinion that he was lucky that no accident occurred during any of this rule breaking incident. It is quite surprising for traffic police as they ignored the driver for an entire year.
