Your license is likely to suspend if you speak on a mobile while driving. The transport department along with the city traffic police is planning to strictly enforce the Central Motor Vehicles Rule 21 (25) that states using mobile phone while driving a vehicle shall constitute a nuisance or danger to the public.
After a preliminary awareness campaign, similar to the one the traffic police recently carried out to make motorists wear seat belts, the transport department will start suspending licences of those who are found talking on their mobile phones while driving. This also applies to those riding motorcycles.
Two enforcement squads, in the north and south zone, comprising an RTO and motor vehicle inspectors will be used for the crackdown.
