People who are caught for speeding, drunken driving, riding without wearing Helmet and indulging in other traffic violations will be penalized with a challan. Vehicles of repeated offenders will be seized. If a person violates any traffic rule, his or her information will be uploaded online, thus showing the number of times the person has violated the rules.

Through the device, the traffic police personnel can also initiate cancelation of the offender’s driving license. The number of road accidents has considerably come down in the district in the last one year. The offender can make the payment by swiping an ATM card. If the offender does not hold an ATM card, he can make the payment at the e-sevai centre at the nearest post office or State Bank of India branch.

As part of the system, the enforcing officers would be able to identify stolen vehicles and impound them. Challans could be issued against vehicles belonging to any State and the offender would not be able to renew his license or the fitness certificate of his vehicle.
