Central Motor Vehicles Act was implemented in the Rajasthan state, being a gazette notification, there were provisions in the act, which could be reviewed by the state and it was left to the discretion of the state.
A major concern of Rajasthan was the enhancing of penalties for 36 traffic offences, which the state government felt were highly taxing for the residents.
The final traffic offence penalties were released as a part of the amended Motor Vehicles Act.
State minister of transport Pratap Singh Khachariyavas, speaking on the occasion said that Rajasthan aims to promote road safety, rather than induce residents to flee from the traffic regulators due to high fines, and cause forced accidents.
