Royal Enfield Rider Fined For Not Wearing Seatbelt
A motorcycle rider has been fined for not wearing seatbelt in Goa. The Police wrote the challan stating not wearing seatbelt.
In recent times, the authorities across the country have been emphasising on road safety. But people will not follow the rules until it is implemented strictly.
Police officers have a significant role to play to make sure people follow the traffic rules. But the incident you are going to read about is a bit peculiar one.
Satish S Naik was riding his Royal Enfield Bullet in Goa on June 7, 2017. He was pulled over by the cops for not wearing a helmet. Goa has implemented a law as per which a rider should wear a helmet.

For not wearing a helmet, Naik was asked to pay a challan of Rs 100. Everything was normal until the Police officer started to fill the challan form.
In the offence column of the challan form, the Police officer wrote ‘Not wearing a seatbelt'. He should have written ‘Not wearing a helmet'.
Now, we all know that the motorcycles do not come with seatbelts. But hilariously, the Police officer wrote seatbelt instead of a helmet. The challan itself is amusing to read, and it has been doing rounds on the internet.
But the Police officer got the Section of Law right. The offence of not wearing a helmet comes under Section 129 of the Motor Vehicle Act. The seatbelt offence comes under Section 177 of the CMVR.
The challan may be funny to read, but it's not at all funny if you don't wear a helmet or fasten your seatbelt. People wear a helmet for the sake of rules, but remember that the rules are for your safety.
