MGP organises virtual meet on road safety and ways to curb traffic violations and accidents
Mysore/Mysuru: In the wake of increasing road accidents caused by minors driving vehicles, the Police have asked parents to discourage underage driving and not to hand over the vehicle keys to them unless they have valid driving licences.
Police said they will take strict action against parents whose children were caught driving and vehicles impounded with hefty fines. Under the amended Motor Vehicles Act, the offence invites a penalty of Rs. 25,000. Not only is the offender tried in a juvenile court, even the parents/guardians face up to three-year imprisonment. Vehicle registration is also cancelled.
Sir,
This has reference to the tragic death of three of a family near Dandi Maramma Temple on Mysuru-Bengaluru Road when a car driven by a minor hit the median and jumped to the other side of the road and hit the two-wheeler coming from the other side (Star of Mysore dated Dec.11). Next, it was reported that N.R. Traffic Police have registered a case under IPC Section 304 and the father was remanded to judicial custody.
The Motor Vehicles Act (Amendment) September 2019 provides the following for the offence committed by the juvenile:
Hefty penalties for violating traffic norms, including a Rs. 25,000 fine and may face three years of imprisonment to Guardian/owner for an offence committed by a juvenile. Guardian/owner shall be deemed to be guilty of offences by juveniles.
