Caution! Breaking traffic rules could now make your car insurance more expensive, learn about the RTO's new plan

RTO New Rules: The central government is preparing to make major changes to driving license and vehicle rules. People aged 40 to 60 will no longer need a medical certificate, and breaking traffic rules will result in penalty points on your license, which could also increase your insurance costs.

RTO New Rules: The central government is going to make the rules related to driving licenses and vehicles much simpler. Now you won't need to stand in long queues at government offices for minor issues. The Ministry of Road Transport aims to make all processes online and encourage safer driving on the roads. The government's intention is not just to issue fines, but to create responsible drivers.

Currently, if you are between 40 and 60 years old, you need a fitness certificate from a doctor to obtain or renew your license. This wastes both time and money. Now the government is going to abolish this rule. This means you will no longer need to provide a medical certificate, which will speed up the process and eliminate the role of middlemen.

The driver's license will be suspended for breaking the rules

Now, if you break traffic rules, simply paying a fine won't be enough. A new 'point system' is being introduced. For every violation, some negative points (penalty points) will be added to your license. If these points accumulate, your license will be suspended for a certain period, and you will not be able to drive. This rule is for those who repeatedly break the rules.

Bad driving will lead to higher insurance costs

The government is now preparing to link bad driving to your wallet. If you have a poor driving record and accumulate too many penalty points on your license, your car insurance will become more expensive the next time you renew it. In addition, buying or selling a vehicle can now be done from home using your Aadhaar card, eliminating the need to visit the RTO. You can now change your address and phone number via mobile

Now you won't have to visit offices to change your phone number or address on your driver's license. The digital system is being strengthened so that you can update all this information yourself using your mobile phone. The driving test and license issuance process will also become much faster. In short, good drivers will benefit, and those who break the rules will be monitored digitally.
