The government has decided to constitute traffic courts in Karachi so as citizens can appeal against traffic penalties, Sindh Police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon told media.
“Traffic fine must be as much to discourage citizens to commit the violation again,” police chief said.
He said the cabinet has approved new laws that will come into force with the summary issued by the chief minister.
IG Sindh said that the motor vehicle ordinance will be amended by the assembly. “The new law will enhance the fine from Rs 5,000 to Rs 2,50,000”, he disclosed.
“The fine of a traffic violation that could become fatal, will be increased by ten-fold”, he said. “The fine will be double in 21 days if unpaid, and driving license will be cancelled after 90 days,” police chief said.
“If the fine not being paid, the national identity card will be blocked after 180 days,” IG Sindh said.
