Underage driving is a huge problem in India that children and parents must clearly understand. During the past two years or so, the Indian government has enforced severe penalties that limit this issue not only upon underage drivers but even extend it to hold the parents or guardians liable for the same. Here's what they are and the liabilities of underage driving. What is Underage Driving? The term underage driving is used for those who are below the age to drive. In the case of India, the age one attains to drive also depends on the type of vehicle one is driving. Age: 16 years: The age for gearless two-wheelers. They must not have an engine capacity of more than 50 cc. 18 years: It applies to all other vehicles with a higher engine capacity like cars, gears, and motorcycles Anyone who drives under this legal age of driving is considered an underage driver. They also attract fees in terms of penalties. Underage Driving Penalties The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 was amended in the year 2019. Under these amended provisions, some stringent punishments have been included against underage drivers. Some of them are as follows: A fine of Rs. 25,000: Minors driving are liable to face a fine amounting to Rs. 25,000. Imprisonment: The minor may also face up to 3 years of imprisonment. Revocation of the right to drive legally: A minor, once caught, would not be allowed to apply for a driving license before the age of 25, effectively losing the right to legally drive for several years. These punishments are an attempt to deter the juvenile from driving without a valid license. Parental or Guardian Charges Indian law also vindicates the parents or guardians for abating a minor from driving: Fines: Parents/guardians of minors driving can also be fined Rs. 25,000. Imprisonment: Parents can face up to 3 years in prison for this offense. Confiscation of Vehicle: Authorities can confiscate the offending vehicle. Owner Liability: In cases where the car is owned by some other person besides the parent, like a friend or some close relative, then, under the law, the owner of the vehicle may be penalized as well. Why Such Harsh Punishments? The severe punishments are linked to the growing number of road accidents in India as a consequence of underage driving. Underage driving accounted for nearly 1.2% of the road accidents in the country. Underage driving is largely careless, endangering not only the minor but other road users as well. Additional Penalties and Legal Implications Apart from the fine and imprisonment, there are other implications of underage driving: Insurance Claims: When an accident is caused by a minor, the insurance company normally has the right to deny the claims that would be raised on the vehicle's insurance. Most insurance policy provisions contravened since they prohibited driving without having a valid license. Criminal Charges: When accidents cause injuries or death, the minor and his or her parents are likely to be taken for criminal charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. They may even be charged with causing death by negligence (Section 304A of the IPC) when the accident results in death. Preventive Measures Parents and guardians should take preventive measures so that their children do not drive illegally. This may include: Teach children road safety and the consequences of underage driving. Protect keys to your vehicle. Be a good example and obey traffic rules. How to Contest a Penalty In case a challan (fine) has been wrongly issued, the parents can appeal on the Parivahan website via the virtual court feature. They will be allowed to file for an online hearing that will be reviewed by a magistrate to determine whether or not the fine or penalty was issued fairly. Conclusion Underage driving is much more than a mere technical violation. It's a serious safety issue on the roads. It is accompanied by very serious punishment for minors as well as their parents, in the form of heavy fines and imprisonment, both for allowing and indulging in underage driving. All those concerned must understand these laws and steps to avoid such situations. It is through India's new Motor Vehicles Act that the country speaks out strongly; underage driving poses a grave danger and will be dealt with stern punishment to ensure highway safety for all.
