query :Dear Sir,
Yesterday in Midday I read in your coloumn regarding Fine of Rs. 1100 for jumping a red signal. Is the same rule applied for BEST Drivers ? If so then RTO department would be having lots & lots of Funds as Everyday I see BEST Drivers Jumping red Signals. I would appreciate if you could answer if the BEST Drivres are fined for the same or not ? And if so in a year approx. how much fine is collected from them ?
Awaiting for your quick reply.

Answers : When I said a fine of Rs.1,100 for jumping a red signal I had clearly mentioned that most probably the driver must have been driving rashly also and jumping the signal. The law is the same for all vehicle drivers and there are no special provisions for BEST drivers or even for Government vehicles.

query :DEAR DR. PASRICHA,
I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER EURO II CARS REQUIRE PUC CERTIFICATE.
|
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Every vehicle, whether Euro-1, Euro-2 or Euro-3 compliant has to be subjected to PUC test after one year of its first registration. For the first one year it does not require a PUC certificate. Thereafter, it is to be obtained every six months with out fail. You must keep the PUC certificate in original while driving. The penalty for violation of this is Rs.1,000 for the first time and Rs.2000 for the subsequent offence.

query :Wayward parking near hotels especially at Tardeo opposite Bhatia Hospital, Haji ali Juice center, Noorani, parking at footpaths by valets of pubs and discos at Worli, Marine drive, near Sukh Sagar at chowpatti, double parking of taxis at churchgate oposite Western Railway Hqs., and other numerous such blatant violations can only take place if police conveniently look other way under considerations. Why no respect for law both by law keepers themselves and others? Will the police act on specific complaints?

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : You must approach Shri. A. M. Roy, Jt. Commissioner of Traffic police, Traffic Head Quarters, Worli, Mumbai 400 025. Tel. No. 4927234, since traffic management of Mumbai city is no longer with me. I am sure he will look into this positively

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Basically thee are two types of insurance polices known as Motor Policy A and Act Only Policy. It is also called third party insurance. It covers third party damages only up to Rs.6,000/- The other policy is Motor Policy B also known as comprehensive policy. This policy compensates the insurer the cost of damage as a result of fire, accident, earthquake etc. Extra fittings like Air-conditioner; music system etc. can also be covered on extra payment. One should opt for comprehensive policy only. If a vehicle is financed it is to be necessary comprehensive insurance. Whenever the residence address is changed then it is obligatory to give intimation to the concerned RTO and get the new address incorporated in all the records. However, some proof of residence will be essential.

query :Why can't lane system be implemented in India? Due to this Mumbai's autos and bikers drive their vehicles at their will.
|

Dr. Pasricha
Answers : Road markings are most cost effective. Thermoplastic road marking is rather prohibitive, most cities apply solvent paste that have a life of two to three months. In my capacity as the Chairman of the All India Road Safety management I have taken up this matter with the Government of India. The life of Thermoplastic road marking is atleast upto three to five years.

query :what happens when police tow away my car and while doing so cause damage to it?
|
|
Dr. Pasricha
Answers : 1. The police is expected to take all precautions to see that no damages done to a vehicle while towing. Despite all the precautions, if a vehicle is damaged during their action, a public servant in the execution of lowfully bonafide duties, he cannot be responsible. You must, however, bring the details to the notice of the Traffic Chief.
