Lifetime Ban For Wrong-Side Drivers in Gujarat

[Nairrk]

The new initiative by the Ahmedabad Police will see the RTO blacklist drivers and riders who are caught driving on the wrong side of the road in the city. The blacklisting will be done when the offender is caught for the second time. The first time an offender is caught driving on the wrong side of the road an FIR will be lodged and the vehicle’s papers will be put up at the Regional Transport Office. The offender’s license will also be cancelled when he or she is caught driving on the wrong side of the road.

This should be implemented across states as it has become a menace. Trucks, minivans and even route buses do the same in highways where U-turn is long way ahead. Even in city roads (with dividers placed in between) 2-wheelers and autos driving in opposite direction has become a common practice.. Even if they don't cause accidents obstructing ongoing traffic is unacceptable.
