Change is always good

1988
now in 2019
major transactions
rate of accident
india is capital of accidents in the world
each day more than 415 ppl die in accident

amendments proposed in bill

govt has taken penalties to 10 x almost
rash driving 5x
seat belt 10x
overspeeding
drink and drive from 2k to 10 k

this bill has brought in changes like we have in western countries like
national drivers registration if a driver offends any where in the country he will be tracked

new ammendents to revoke or cancel the driving license

removed min education qualification to be a driver

there are some ammendments regarding the golden hour after the accident . in earlier days
ppl hesitated in helping the victim to avoid legal tangles now this has been improved and
the first hour

the best thing about this boil is that it not only talks about revoking or canceling the driving
lisence but also retraining them

so with this bill multiple technical centres can come up where drivers can be trained
and the beautiful thing in this is that both aspects of the accident are seen the driving
offenders as well as the road constuctors wil also be held liable if there is some fault in the
road construction due to which accident took place

100% electric vehicle sale by 2030

New Delhi: NITI Aayog has proposed that after 2030, only electric vehicles
should be sold in India.
It may be noted that a panel headed by NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant had
suggested earlier that only EV (three-wheelers and two-wheelers) with
engine capacity of up to 150 cc should be sold from 2025 onwards
The ministry has also been asked to pilot an e-highways programme - with
an overhead electricity network - to enable trucks and buses to operate as
electric vehicles on select national highways.
Transport minister Nitin Gadkari, who had earlier threatened to mandate
EVs from 2030, has now said that the decision will be taken after
consulting the industry.

Everyday nearly 50,000 new motor vehicles (2-, 3- and 4-wheelers) register
in India, with a 10% increase in vehicle registration annually for the past
decade. Yet the annual share of electric vehicle sale to total vehicle sale
remains at very low level of 1%, with around 4 Lakh electric two-wheelers
and a few thousand electric cars on road.
