Traffic Rule Violations: Driving License Suspension for 5+ Offenses Annually

• The Ministry of Road Transport has amended Motor Vehicle Rules, making it stricter for repeat traffic offenders.
• Driving licenses (DL) can now be suspended if a driver commits 5 or more traffic rule violations in a year.
• A suspended DL means a 3-month driving ban, with the decision made by the RTO/DTO.
• The new rule, effective January 1, counts offenses annually, resetting each year.
• Experts have mixed reactions: some call it a 'step in the right direction,' while others warn of potential misuse and call for better enforcement procedures.

Why It Matters: Central government tightens traffic laws, allowing DL suspension for 5+ annual violations to boost road safety.
