Ramanathan Srinivasan's
query :Respected Sir,
I own a Bullet. Since I travel on Highways which are usally not lit and full of Stray buffalos and dogs, I am planning to add extra passing / fog lamp to my bullet. I will use them when there is not light or when the lighting is not enough.
I would like to know if I have to get any permission for adding these lights?
|
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Fog lamps are permitted on all vehicles. However, you must purchase the same from a standard shop so that they do not violate the traffic rule.

Answers : 1. You must buy an old car only from a well know broker and no one else. You must check the engine and chassis number physically and get it confirmed whether the RC book bears the same numbers or not. You should also call the RTO to ascertain whether the vehicle is wanted for any crime. You should also get the vehicle inspected through a garage of your trust to confirm the vehicle is not a accidental one. As regards to your second question I am not very clear what you want to know. Please reframe the question in simple language.

query :Dear
Dr. Pasricha
Recently I have tranfer my scooter to my home town kanpur from Bhubaneswar with NOC from RTO Bhubaneswar. At present I am in Bhubaneswar. I have told to my brother to do the neccesary which is required in RTO Kanpur for re-registration. Is it neccesary to me to go kanpur and sign all the form which are required for re-registration. Kindly suggest me what should I do.
with best regards
Ramesh Chandra, Bhubaneswar

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Since you are shifting to Kanpur there is no reason why you cannot get the vehicle to the RTO Kanpur personally. Even if you do not go personally the vehicle have to be physically inspected by RTO Kanpur before they reregister the vehicle. You will also require NOC from the RTO Bhubaneswar.

query :Seat Belt rule is laudable but should be applicable to everybody, that includes Traffic Police travelling in their own Traffic vehicle . Every time I find them not using the seat belts,and I ask them the reason, answers are vague such as - not applicable to Police , we have to move into action to protect you etc. Traffic rule enforcers cannot be beyond these rules. Please comment .
I am willing to collect details as and when I am able to get them and forward them to you,
if you require .

Answers : I agree, that charity begins at home. Law enforcer’s must first use helmet themselves and then only should enforce the law.

Answers : As per law you should register your vehicle in the city where you normally reside. If you are frequently move between Chennai and Bangalore there is no problem at all. However, you must preserve some petrol bills of Chennai to prove your bonafide. In case you vehicle is going to remain in Bangalore only, you have to reregister it as per the law.

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You will have to show your vehicle to the RTO in Banglore alongwith NOC obtained from Delhi, Original RC book, Tax payment certificate, insurance certificate and PUC certificate all in original. You will have to pay Life Time Road Tax as is applicable in Karnataka and thereafter you can move your RTO in delhi for the refund of the Road Tax paid their as per their norms.
