Seat belts for all occupants?

Curious if Karnataka MVA requires the use of seat belts by 'drivers only' or 'all occupants' of private motor vehicles. Intuitively, it should be 'all occupants' and as this neat paper indicates, passengers were more likely to suffer injuries than drivers.

Harassment is down, and more observations

Some trends that should catch your eye are:

  • "Not produce document" is down from 50K to half in last 4 years (2010 appx 25K). We all know how useless/lazy and harassing jobs these general document checks used to be.
  • "Dangerous driving" counts show steady decline (from 1 lakh in 2006 to appx 60K this year). Congestion levels are more or less the same since 2006, so can't be that drivers have less scope for driving dangerously. Is police not fining enough for reckless driving? Or was this a random thing that was also being used to harass drivers? Or has Bangalore been driving better?
  • "Emitting Black Smoke" - whats that drop? Some rule change? Or was this also discretionary / harassment thing that has gone down now?
  • Overall numbers declined from 2006 and 2007. Really odd, data gathering problem that year, or did traffic cops take things easy in 2007?

Some others

  • There is a "seat belt" category, but numbers are very low? Why? 90% car drivers don't buckle up.
  • Signal jumping numbers have gone up three times, all thanks to BTRAC driven automation.

Number plates

The Central government should make it a rule that the number plates should have English saying that it is security issue.

It will be easy for police/security personnel to track down the offending vehicles if they are in English.

what about Kannada (only) number plates?

17) Defective Registration No Plate.

Though the bookings under this heading are fairly sizable, I guess they do not include for 'having number plates only in Kannada', since I see enough and more of even police mobikes going about in this fashion all over the city, in blatant and open violation of the M V Act - check this.

Want to check with Mr Sood about this during the meeting scheduled this week-end?
