The Ministry has notified a set of modified rules, which have come into effect from April 1.
Now habitual traffic offenders can be 'named and shamed' in public along with having their licenses revoked.
The Centre has modified the Central Motor Vehicle Rules to include a provision wherein repeat offenders for certain violations such as drunk driving, speeding, dangerous driving, not wearing helmets will find their names among a list of other offenders.
State transport departments can display this list on their portals.
