Driving test for repeat offenders, interim compensation for crash victims on cards

The Indian government is proposing new measures to improve road safety, including mandatory driving tests for license renewals for drivers with traffic violations, interim compensation for crash victims through Motor Accident Claims Tribunals (MACTs), and increased financial barriers for appealing court decisions. These changes aim to reduce reckless driving and ensure quicker support for accident victims. The proposals were discussed in an informal Group of Ministers meeting and could be introduced during the upcoming parliamentary session. Experts have generally supported these reforms but raised concerns about potential misuse of penalties by law enforcement.
