Mobile phones should not be used while driving or riding in cars because they are dangerous and also have been banned by the government. However, many people have mixed feelings about using hands-free, Bluetooth, or headphones while driving.
The use of hands-free, Bluetooth, or headphones while driving or riding is also considered a traffic regulation violation under the Central Motor Vehicles Act. A fine of Rs 1,000 is imposed on first-time offenders, while Rs 2,000 is imposed on repeat offenders.
When a rider or driver uses a cellphone while driving, his attention is diverted, and accidents, injuries, loss of life, and property damage can occur. It also causes traffic jams by impeding other vehicle riders. Mobile phone use while driving is prohibited for this reason. The joint police commissioner said that the use of hands-free, Bluetooth, headsets, smart watches, speaking, hearing music, and other activities while driving are all violations of traffic laws that will result in fines.
Some riders talk on their phones while riding, while others keep their phones inside their helmets. Their number has now decreased. People nowadays use equipment in addition to mobile phones, and new technological instruments are introduced one after the other. When riding, many people use hands-free, Bluetooth, headphones, or wrist watches to communicate. It’s also against the law to listen to music, use navigational devices, and so forth.
The act simply states that the use of mobile phones is prohibited while riding or driving. The goal is to keep the rider or driver’s attention on the road and driving. Officials claim that using electronic equipment, listening to music, navigating with a mobile phone in hand, and other similar activities might divert attention, which is why their use draws a fine. Even if using navigation while driving is prohibited by law, if it is unavoidable, they can be mounted to vehicles and utilised such that they do not cause problems for others. Officials are exempting such devices if the noise is kept to a minimum. If they’re hand-held and the volume is turned up, though, they’ll be fined.
