Rs.10k fine for vehicles without reflective tapes. Noida Police

Noida Traffic Police has initiated a campaign to reduce accidents in the city due to low visibility in foggy weather. They have asked people to paste reflective tapes on their vehicles because of the weather conditions and decreasing visibility. In addition, the Noida police also pasted reflective tapes on pillars and barricades as they sometimes act as blind spot for vehicles. A few days ago, it began as an experiment, where Noida Traffic Police requested people to paste reflective tapes on vehicles passing through the DND Flyway toll plaza.

No helmets, No Puja in Odisha

I start this article by an old proverb 'God helps those who help themselves'. Probably you will understand why after reading the article below. Over the years, we have seen different approaches and initiatives by traffic department, cops, NGOs to encourage use of helmet among two-wheeler riders. Now, the Odisha police are trying out yet another. They have persuaded the priests of the highly revered Maa Sarala temple in Jagatsinghpur district to refuse the special puja for vehicles if the owners turn up without helmets. The temple, believed to be more than 1,000 years old, attracts thousands of devotees from Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Cuttack and Puri districts. Upon every purchase of a vehicle or bike, it is almost a rite of passage to perform a puja for it. Many also take the...

It may be rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver in an effort to intimidate or release frustration.
