Allowing a minor boy to drive a two-wheeler proved a man in Sambalpur dear as he was slapped a fine of Rs 43,000 under the amended MV Act.
Baris Singh was driving a scooter owned by Bijay Singh of Daldalipada under the Khetrajpur police limits. Police officers intercepted the vehicle as the boy was driving the two-wheeler without wearing a helmet.
It too came to notice that the boy was driving without having a DL while the vehicle also lacked Pollution under Control (PUC) certificate and insurance. A fine of Rs 25,000 was imposed on the vehicle owner for allowing a minor to drive it, Rs 5,000 for driving without DL, Rs 10,000 for lacking PUCC, Rs 1,000 for driving without wearing helmet and Rs 2,000 for lacking insurance.
