Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic and Crime) Sanjeev M. Patil said Rs. 100 fine would be imposed on the offending rider. As the traffic police are equipped with Blackberry devices to record traffic violations and issue chalans, it would be easy to find out repeat offenders. Repeat offenders would be dealt with as per the Supreme Court directive.

A traffic police constable indicated that many officers would not leave the rider alone after imposing Rs. 100 fine for violating the helmet rule.

The officers would also charge the offender with another offence — negligent riding — and impose an addtional fine of Rs. 300, with a view to deter recurrence of such practices, he said.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police S.D. Sharanappa said that the district police are geared up to enforce the rule. In the last three weeks, the police conducted awareness programmes in the respective police station jurisdictions.
