Traffic police has these 5 big powers, drivers cannot question them

Traffic Police:  Many times when the traffic police stop people's vehicles, some people start questioning them, even showing off their influence. But do you know that the traffic police have some rights that no one can question and neither should anyone do so because they also do their job, whether it is the hot afternoon of June or the shivering cold of January. Today we are going to tell you about their rights.

5 rights of the traffic police:

It is important to know what powers the traffic police have and what they do not have. 

1. Stopping the vehicle and checking the documents:

Traffic police can stop any vehicle and ask the driver for driving license, vehicle registration, insurance certificate, and pollution control certificate.

If you do not have these documents or they are not valid, the police can fine you or seize your vehicle.

2. Issue of Challan:

If you violate traffic rules, the traffic police can issue you a challan.

The challan will contain details of the fine amount and the date of payment.

If you do not pay the challan, you may be charged additional fines or legal action may be taken against you.

3. Challan for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs:

If you are caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the traffic police can fine you heavily and even cancel your license.

You can also be arrested and criminally prosecuted.

4. Seizure of the vehicle:

In some cases, the traffic police can seize your vehicle, such as:

If you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If you are driving without a license.

If your vehicle has been illegally modified.

If your vehicle violates pollution standards.

5. Arrest:

For certain serious offenses, such as speeding, reckless driving, or causing an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, the traffic police can arrest you.

It is important to note that these powers may not be the same across India.

You should contact the traffic police in your area for more information on local laws and rules.

Remember:

Be polite and respectful to the traffic police.

Follow their instructions and answer their questions truthfully.

If you feel you have been treated unfairly, you can file a complaint.
