Reactions to hefty traffic violation fines!!

It surprised me when I saw that a couple of states didn't implement the New Motor Vehicles Act. Is it in defiance to Modi as a person or BJP as a party? No clue. One thing remains true that they are cutting their noses off to spite their faces.

There is is huge propaganda and tear jerking news clipping about hefty fines levied for minor (?) traffic violations like not wearing a helmet (you must be joking if you think this is a minor one!).

My two cents about this:
1. You have the choice to either obey the law and not pay any fines; or,
2. Defy the law and be ready to face the full might of it.
It is easier to follow option 1.
Just to give you an example, during my stay in Johannesburg for over 16 years, I have not paid a single traffic violation fine. It is easier and safer to obey the law, and economical to do so as well. Couple of my friends have paid hefty fines there and have been behind bars for DUI.

I think India had let loose all these people who had defied the law, all these days.
Enough is Enough!
