Two-wheelers ferrying more than two, including children, will be penalised as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) cameras that become operational in Kerala from April 20 will treat those as a traffic violation.<\/p>\n
A total of 726 AI cameras have been installed on state and national highways in Kerala.<\/p>\n
Transport Commissioner S Sreejith said the fines will be imposed on five types of violations. The fine for more than two persons travelling on a two-wheeler is Rs 2,000.<\/p>\n
\"More than two persons travelling on a two-wheeler is a traffic violation even now. But a such loose executive of the law will not be allowed once the AI cameras are operational,\" said S Sreejith.<\/p>\n
\"Helmetless travel, mobile phone usage, not using seat-belts, red light violation and more than two persons riding a two-wheeler are the violations that will be penalised in the first phase. The visuals of those who follow the rules will not be captured by the cameras,\" he said.<\/p>\n
'Change the culture'The Transport Commissioner said it was about time two-wheeler users adopted safe practices on the road. \"We have to stop the culture of ferrying a whole middle-class family in a two-wheeler. If four people need to travel, arrange an appropriate vehicle or use two two-wheelers,\" said Sreejith.<\/p>\n
Bluetooth calls okThe seat-belt usage among front seat passengers will be checked in the first phase, said S Sreejith. \"Using the Bluetooth system to make calls will not be a violation. But other practices will be penalised.\"<\/p>\n
