As part of its efforts to discourage rash driving and act against those indulging in such risky behaviour, the Dehradun police have facilitated an option enabling citizens to play a role in ensuring action against rash drivers.
In addition to this, the police will now book such offenders under the Indian Penal Code instead of the Motor Vehicles Act. Deputy inspector general and Dehradun senior superintendent of police Arun Mohan Joshi said that this drive is basically against those people who not only risk the lives of others, but also invite risk to their own life by rash driving.
Now, instead of compounding the rash driving act under the MV Act, the police will file an FIR against such elements under the appropriate sections of the IPC.
