Red Light Jump Challan In Delhi

If you are getting late, the easy solution seems to be to simply jump a red light. At least this is what the motorists in Delhi seem to be thinking. After all everyone is doing it and the red light cross fine in Delhi is only Rs 100/-. There was no real downside to breaking the red light signal in Delhi – the red light cross fine in Delhi least of all. The deterrent of a red light jump challan in Delhi was non-existent.

NOT ANYMORE. Delhi has been noting a spike in incidents of red light skipping which has put many motorists in danger. The heart breaking incident of three Indian Air Force personnel who lost their lives do to another driver jumping a signal and ramming into their vehicle has finally shocked the Delhi RTO enough to look into the signal break fine.

The Delhi RTO has made two drastic changes. One, the red light jumping is to be treated as dangerous driving and Two,  the corresponding red light cross fine in Delhi has been raised to Rs.1000/-.

This drastic change in treatment by the Delhi RTO is because of the realization that jumping a red light is far from being a harmless little mistake and causes real loss of lives. They have also realized that an increase in the signal jump fine or the signal break fine is the only real way of tackling this issue.

The Traffic Constables have been empowered to write red light jump challan in Delhi for the amount of Rs.1,000/- and while this massive jump in  red light cross fine in Delhi is bound to aggravate motorists, it seems to be the most effective way of enforcing the rule by the Delhi RTO.

As motorists, if anyone feels that the red light cross fine in Delhi has been arbitrarily increased by a huge amount, think of the precious lives lost due to your hurry. The Joint CP Satyendra Garg pointed out that imposing the new red light cross fine in Delhi and writing out red light jump challan in Delhi is going to take a lot of time and effort on the part of the Traffic policemen as well and distract them from regulating traffic. He had brought up this issue of signal jump fine at the International Road Federation Seminar lately where he stated that the meager red light cross fine in Delhi of Rs.100/- in Delhi had to be supplemented with a red light cross fine in Delhi of Rs.1,000/-. In his opinion it was the non-revision of signal break fine that was letting motorists break this rule with impunity.

This dangerous trend of signal jumping must be curbed at the earliest and to this end the signal jump fine will be implemented and the traffic police will diligently and in every case give the red light jump challan in Delhi to the offending motorist.
