Goa government to slash traffic fines under amended MV Act

  • Goa government is likely to reduce the penalties for certain traffic violations, slashing some of the steep traffic fines introduced by the Centre under the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019.
     
  • Mauvin Godinho said We don’t intend to trouble our people by imposing very high fines.
     
  • There are some fines that we cannot reduce. It is mandated by the Central government that those fines remain the same.
     
  • Transport minister Godinho said we will follow some states that have done it, like Gujarat, and Maharashtra and take a decision after comparing their fines.
     
  • Godinho had earlier announced that the government will first repair the pothole-ridden roads in Goa before implementing the act in the state and charging steep fines.
