Parents beware: Minor driving car? Registration can be cancelled
The Telangana Transport Department is intensifying enforcement against minors driving motor vehicles, warning that vehicle registrations may be cancelled for 12 months. Additionally, juveniles caught driving will face a ban on obtaining a driver's license until they turn 25.
Why it matters
Strict enforcement of traffic laws regarding minors is a critical public safety measure aimed at reducing road accidents and increasing parental accountability.
Minors who drive cars and ride two-wheelers now risk a cancellation of registration of vehicles per Section 199 A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1989.
The report objectively summarizes government policy and enforcement statistics without taking a stance on the severity of the penalties.
