Traffic Fines in Haryana

Here are some general traffic rules to be followed by all vehicle owners in Haryana before we move on to vehicle-specific rules:

Keep Left: Always drive on the left side of the road, especially if there are no dividers or lanes. Allow other vehicles driving in the opposite direction to pass by your right.

When making turns, keep your left turns tight/sharp (drive as close as you can to the left-hand side of the road you are entering) and your right turns long/wide (drive towards the centre of the road you are entering, arriving towards the left side).

Right Side Overtaking: Always overtake other vehicles driving in the same direction from their right. You can overtake from the left/either side if you are driving in the centre lane. Always use your indicators when overtaking and avoid doing so on narrow roads to ensure safety.

Follow Traffic Signals: Do not jump red lights and give pedestrians the right of way at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. You must also adhere to stop signs and only take U-turns in areas where it is permissible.

No Drinking and Driving: Driving your vehicle while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs can lead to severe road accidents. If caught, you will be issued a drink and drive fine in Haryana by the traffic police. Moreover, subsequent offences can also result in imprisonment.

No Parking in Prohibited Zones: Avoid parking your vehicle in no parking zones, busy corners, in the middle of the road or in any place that could disrupt the flow of traffic. This can result in your vehicle getting towed or issued a no-parking fine in Haryana, so avoid doing this.

Give Way To Emergency Vehicles: Always give way to emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks by immediately drawing to the side of the road once you hear their sirens. Not doing so is considered a serious offence and can result in fines or even imprisonment.

Do Not Overspeed: Always drive within the prescribed speed limit, especially when driving on highways or in bad weather conditions. This also includes rash driving – do not drive in a manner that is considered a danger to the public.

Any abrupt breaks when driving at high speeds can cause your vehicle to skid, hydroplane (during rain) or lose control of your vehicle, which can be dangerous for you and other motorists.

Both parties must be able to present their licence when pulled over, or they will be subject to a without-licence fine in Haryana.

Always Wear Seat Belts: The driver and all other passengers must wear a seat belt when the car is in motion. Children under 14 must also be secured with a seat belt, harness or a child restraint system secured to the car's seat.

No Overloading: You must avoid overloading your vehicle past the permissible limit, i.e., your vehicle must pass a weighing test from an officer of the Motor Vehicles Department. This is in the case of transport/commercial goods vehicles.

Wear Helmets: Both the driver and pillion rider must be wearing helmets when riding a two-wheeler vehicle (bikes, scooters, mopeds, etc.). Failure from either party to do so can result in a fine for not wearing a helmet in Haryana.

Only One Pillion Rider: You can not have more than one passenger/pillion rider in addition to yourself on your bike, i,e., no triples riding on your bike. The pillion rider must also be seated on a proper seat securely fixed to the bike behind the driver's seat.

Carry ID and Mandatory Documentation: Always carry a valid driver's licence and other important documents related to your bike, like your two-wheeler insurance, PUC certificate and bike registration (RC).

In Haryana, if you are caught violating a traffic rule, you will be issued an E-Challan/E-memo by a traffic police officer. You must pay your Haryana E-Challan within 60 days of its issuance.

This can be done either online or offline. The fine amount, details of your traffic violation and the payment method will all be stated on your E-Challan. Failure to pay your E-Challan on time will result in additional penalties or a court summons that can end with a suspension of your DL.
