This Festive Season, Clear All Your Challans and Enjoy Worry-Free Drives

Diwali symbolizes time of lights, laughter and togetherness. Families travel across towns and cities, friends get together, people push and shove into stores to shop for Diwali gifts at the very last moment. There is so much excitement in the air that you don’t want to think about the stress of a pending challan lurking in the background.

This festive season , dedicate a moment to clarify all your pending challans to enjoy the utmost peace of mind on every drive.

Why It’s Important to Clear Challans Before the Festive Rush

The festive season typically brings:

• More vehicular traffic on the roads to check traffic violations by police.
• More drives in order to go shopping, visit family or go on longer trips.
• More enforcement of rules and regulations; police usually increase enforcement at festivals to help increase safety.

Unpaid challans can easily spoil the festive spirit! Just think about being stopped while you are out with your family and being asked to review a past challan.  Paying the unpaid fines before the festive season commences will help ensure you can enjoy your holiday travels.

Why Traffic Violations Increase During Diwali

With holidays there is a notable increase in traffic resulting in an increase in the likelihood of errors:

• Crowded markets lead to hasty and errant parking.
• The holiday rush often encourages people to speed or run lights.
• More late-night parties lead to more drunk driving.
• Smoke and lights from firecrackers create poor visibility and confusion.

In a similar way to responsible celebration at home, extra care while driving is critical.
