Tips to Avoid Bike Challan for Traffic Violation

Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind as a two-wheeler owner or rider to keep yourself safe on the road:

• Always wear a helmet, both driver and a pillion rider.
• Ensure you have a valid two-wheeler driving license. However, if you have a learner's license, ensure your pillion rider has a valid driving license.
• Always ride your vehicle in the right lane and follow the traffic rules & regulations.
• Maintain the speed limit directed by traffic authorities.
• Ensure you make way for emergency services vehicles, such as ambulances, fire bridges, etc.
• Even though a digital copy of your documents is sufficient, carrying a physical copy of all your two-wheeler documents, including your bike insurance policy, is always a wise idea.
• Additionally, always check your bike insurance policy expiry date to avoid future hassle while settling your claims.
• In the worst case, if you still haven't bought or renewed the bike insurance policy, ensure you get it done on time.
• Remember, do not try to bribe traffic police officers; it is a crime, and you will have to pay a hefty fine.
• Never drink and ride, not even if you have consumed only a single sip of alcohol.

In case you have violated any traffic rule and a bike challan is issued against you, you have to pay the e-challan within 60 days from the date of issuance. You can check bike e-challan status online and pay it online.
