In India, wrong parking that causes danger, obstruction, or undue inconvenience to other road users is considered a traffic offense. The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 and its subsequent amendments provide guidelines for parking on the road, and violating these rules can result in fines and penalty points on the driver’s license.
Here are some rules related to wrong parking causing danger, obstruction, or undue inconvenience to other road users in India:
- Drivers must park their vehicles in designated parking areas, and not on the road or in a manner that obstructs traffic.
- Drivers must not park their vehicles in a way that causes danger to other road users or poses a risk to public safety.
- Drivers must not park their vehicles in a way that causes undue inconvenience to other road users, such as blocking driveways or access to buildings.
- Violating these rules can result in fines, penalty points on the driver’s license, and even impounding of the vehicle in some cases.
The fines for these violations in India vary depending on the severity of the offense. Here are some examples of wrong parking causing danger, obstruction, or undue inconvenience to other road users violations and the corresponding fines:
- Wrong parking causing obstruction – Fine of Rs. 200 to Rs. 500
- Wrong parking causing danger or inconvenience to others – Fine of Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000
- Repeat offenses – Fine of Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 5,000, and impounding of the vehicle
