A Supreme Court appointed committee last year had asked all states and union territories to suspend licence of all traffic rule violators for a minimum of three months.

The panel, headed by former Supreme Court judge K S Radhakrishnan, listed the violations which include over speeding, red light jumping, carrying overload in good carriages, people travelling in goods carriages, driving under the influence of alocohol and drugs and using cell phones while driving. In case of two-wheelers, helmet laws will be mandatory for the main rider and the pillion rider.

Dakshina Kannada district police will now start enforcing directions of the committee including suspension of driving licences for three months in cases of traffic violations, said Superintendent of Police SD Sharanappa.

He said that earlier police used to suspend licences and seize vehicles only in cases of fatal road mishaps.
