Hi Sometimes the traffic policeman threatens to seize the vehicle saying that we have jumped signals and are driving dangerously. Can you tell us under wat circumstances can he seize my vehicle? an

<p>
It is possible that the traffic policemen can seize a vehicle if it is driving dangerously. The best way to avoid this is to drive safely, to be ultracautious and not jump signals, overspeed or switch lanes without warning. If case you are caught in an unjustified manner, please carry the motor vehicles act with you and be conversant of the sections under which you can be fined. You must insist upon paying the fine and not settle for a bribe, even if the payment may be lower. I have attached a table containing the fines payable for different offences.</p>

However in the Bangalore Traffic Police website the following has been mentioned, what seems like a flat 500 Rs. fine<br />
<br />
<strong>Section 181:</strong> Driving without valid and proper driving licence can result in imprisonment upto 3 months or fine upto Rs. 500/- or both<br />
