Mumbaikars, wear a seat belt while driving a car, or be prepared to pay Rs 1,000 as fine from November 1. The Mumbai Traffic Police Department on Friday announced that drivers as well as passengers must wear a seat belt, or pay the penalty. The traffic cops have given the motorists a 15-day period to get seat belts fixed for all seats. Citizens, however, called the move unwarranted, especially within the city limits. Currently, the fine for not wearing a seat belt is Rs 200. The traffic police’s move comes after its failure to enforce mandatory helmets for pillion riders.
