Do You Think The State Government Must Seek Public Opinion on Higher Traffic Fines before Implementing?

September 12: MLC Ivan D’Souza on Monday said that the state government should first obtain public opinion on implementing the New Motor Vehicle Act-2019.
Ivan D’Souza mentioned that several states including Goa have not yet implemented the act. He said that seeking public opinion in increased fine before implementing the new rule was important as it has many loopholes as there is a lack of awareness about the new act and the public needs to be mentally prepared.
Ivan D’Souza said that the objective behind every legislation is safety and reform and stressed that fine collection should not be an achievement of police or government.
