Bike stunts on Noida Expressway trigger city's highest traffic fines
Noida: Traffic police fined a man Rs 53,500 for violating norms after a video surfaced of him and a woman performing a dangerous stunt on the Noida Expressway. This is the second highest challan issued to a biker for violations in Noida. Earlier this month, a man was seen doing stunts on a bike in Sector 112, and later issued the highest fine issued for traffic violation. "In that case we issued a challan of Rs 63,500 – which is the highest so far," said traffic sub-inspector Vinay Tomar. The rider was fined for dangerous driving, violation of traffic rules, disobedience of any direction lawful given by authority and violation of PUC norms. The five-second clip of the most recent incident, which was widely circulated on social media on Sunday, showed the duo riding without helmets, with the woman seated reverse on the fuel tank facing the man, while holding a helmet behind the driver's back. CCTV cameras installed on the expressway also recorded the act. Cops took suo-moto cognizance of the video and, based on the footage, traced the vehicle using the number plate and issued an e-challan around 1.40pm on Sunday. DCP (Traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav said that the challan of Rs 53,500 was issued under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, including 181, 184, 184A, and 194D, which pertain to dangerous driving, riding without a helmet, disobedience of lawful directions, and other traffic violations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Police said that such reckless behaviour not only endangers the lives of the riders but also puts other commuters at risk. Strict enforcement measures are being taken to discourage stunts and rash driving on expressways, cops added. Between Jan and May this year, Noida traffic police issued nearly 11 lakh challans, of which over 6 lakh were for riding without helmets – a stark reminder of the ongoing challenge to enforce road safety regulations across the city. In 2024, traffic police issued 27 lakh fines – nearly 7,000 per day. The maximum number of fines were issued to bikers without a helmet (17 lakh), followed by jumping red light (1 lakh) and speeding (86,000). During the same period, 966 people were injured and 462 died in 1,165 road accidents in the district. Anurag Kulshrestha, president of road safety NGO TRAX, said that there needs to be stricter enforcement of traffic norms on the roads to prevent violations. "Also, the penalty should be high enough to make a deterrence among road users. Then if the challans are issued, there should be a proper recovery mechanism. In the current scenario, the issued challans remain pending and people continue to drive. In comparison, in foreign countries, in three violations the driving licenses are suspended for two years. Similar enforcement measures should be applied here," he said. Recently, a trend has emerged of bikers racing on the Noida Expressway during the weekends. Police usually stop these bike racers, who come here from Delhi and Gurgaon, and travel to the Zero Point via Noida Expressway. The high-speed bikers not only endanger their own lives but also raise safety concerns for others too while participating in an unconventional racing format on expressways, police said.
