A man in Bengaluru was served a notice by the traffic police to clear dues worth ₹ 1.34 lakh generated by his 255 traffic violations. According to a report in Deccan Herald, the man had accumulated the violations over a period of two years. His details came up when the Traffic management Centre (TMC) was looking for vehicles with high number of traffic violations. The information was sent to police stations across the city. The traffic police personnel were asked to track down such vehicles and recover fines.
The police then started their investigation and found that a scooter registered in the name of a daily wager, had 255 traffic violations.
He was called to the police station and told about it. He told the police personnel that he was unaware of the intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) cameras installed across the city.
The police said with ITMS, they regularly collect data about vehicles with 50 or more traffic violations.
The Deccan Herald report said that he paid ₹ 10,000 as spot fine and settled 20 cases. The police impounded his Suzuki Access scooter, the outlet further said.
Meanwhile, the Bengaluru Traffic Police started a unique drive this week under which it will directly notify about a person's traffic violation to his/her company. According to traffic police, with this initiative, they want to raise awareness about road safety and traffic rules.

That poor man! He was just racing at 100+ kms per hour because he didn't know there were cameras.
How can he be expected to follow the law, act like a decent human when he doesn't think anyone is watching?
Only thing that's making most people follow the law or good behaviour is the fear of punishment and/or fines.
His son is a food delivery guy.. Now you know why he might hv done that
Worst I have seen in Bangalore for traffic violations, for me same day same time they imposed 2 fines, picture clearly shows driving and imposed fine as parking. Don't know what's their strategies.
Simple, milking money.
These violations also speak about the horrible traffic conditions in Bengaluru, may be the worst among Indian cities
There is no traffic sense in India, Drivers are like - “I will go first, else I may never get nirvana”
This is a very good initiative by the government to create discipline for the bad traffic in the whole country, not any specific city.
Nowadays people don't have any driving sense, everyone driving on the road like it's the roads are their grandparent's gift to them 😬
Driving On Wrong Sides, Rash Driving, Not keeping the left side open for vehicles at crossroads during the signal, crossing the red light signals, etc.
The worst are Two-wheel drivers, they are only alive because cars and big vehicles have their feet on the brakes and they have to keep calm while driving. Because they know, that if anything is going to happen then by default blame will go to the big vehicle.
So, to overcome many of these, this camera-based fine system is very necessary.
The only flaw in this is the one who has any kind of influence i.e. political, police, goons, etc. They don't care about this at all.
Especially the one who pays regular bribes i.e. auto rickshaw drivers.
Because their challans are easily canceled by the authorities. They openly break the rules and put the lives of others in danger.
On the other hand, in cases like this where there is no proper infrastructure and ecosystem to deliver the challan and at many places no proper traffic signs for one-way/no-entry/etc.
Imagine someone is going through some route every day, there is no sign of one-way, but as everyone is using that road, he is also going through the same route for a month. And after a month he gets the challan for the very first day and subsequent violations. That's a huge fine that he never gonna able to pay. And as he doesn't have any influence, no one is gonna help him.
So, good and bad on both sides. It will take time, but everything will surely improve with the time.
Seems the violation counter is unsigned 8 bit int. Once it reached max it alerted the cops. Still 8 bit? What era are we living in? Disgrace to the IT capital 😞
he shouldn't have paid 10k as well, just let them have the scooter instead, it will be much cost-effective.
what i see is , this problem with daily wagers is present in each state and UT of country.
i have suffered twice due to this problem of flying battery rickshas( in helicopter mode)
1. guy driving helicopter was handicap from legs, he was operating foot brake with hand held welded rod. that day when he applied brake by hand, rod welding broke and he smashed my parked car. he has no license, no plate etc.
2. driver was standing out of his helicopter and key was on, accidently he twisted acceleration from handle and helicopter flew without taking him and smashed side of my car with front windshield along. again same no license, no plate.etc.
