New RTO Regulations, Father Of The Minor Driver Can Be Sent To Jail For 3 Years

A high-profile Pune porche accident is in the news as a minor of age 17 years 8 months hit a motorcycle killing two IT professionals. Although the Juvenile Board granted bail to the accused, the father of the accused was arrested and sent to jail.

A Porche car, allegedly driven by a minor who is just four months short of 18 years- the legal age of being able to drive a car in India, hit a motorcycle in Pune on Saturday, killing two individuals. One of the victims died on the spot while another succumbed to injuries in hospital.

In a shocking decision, the Juvenile Board granted bail to the accused asking him to do social service for 15 days and write an essay on accidents. However, police have arrested the father of the accused who is a prominent realtor of the city.

A case under Sections 75 and 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act has been launched against the teen’s father. These sections deal with giving intoxicating substances to a juvenile and deliberate neglect of a child, respectively.

New regulations will now be implemented by the Government Regional Transport Offices as of June 1. Today, we’ll tell you the fine and the potential years of punishment a father faces if his minor child drives.

The RTO has implemented new driving regulations that subject the father of a child driver to a fine of up to Rs 25,000 and a three-year jail sentence in the event of an accident.

In the Pune Porsche accident case, the court has placed the minor’s father in police custody until May 24 after the father was taken into custody by the police.

The Regional Transport Office (RTO) will implement new vehicle regulations on June 1, 2024. The RTO has also raised the number of driving-related challenges in these regulations.

The new regulations stipulate that the father or legal guardian of a child, defined as any boy or girl under the age of 18, faces a punishment of up to Rs 25,000 if the youngster is found to be driving.
