Delivery boys on e-bikes halted by cops for traffic violations
The Mumbai Traffic Police has initiated a special drive targeting electric bikes involved in traffic violations, including rash driving, jumping signals, and riding on footpaths. Offenders are being charged under the BNS and Motor Vehicles Act, including sections related to rash driving.
“The Mumbai traffic division had received numerous complaints regarding traffic violations. It has been observed that e-bike riders, especially food and other delivery app partners, often disregard traffic rules, driving recklessly, jumping signals, and riding on footpaths. These actions not only endanger their own lives but also pose a significant risk to others. In response to this growing concern, the Mumbai Traffic Police has launched this special drive to bring the situation under control and ensure safer roads for everyone,” said a police officer.
