Limit speed to 40 km/h if riding with kids below 4 years old

The new rule has been proposed keeping in mind the safety of children.

The government of India has issued a draft notification that states riding 2-wheelers with children below 4 years of age as pillion at more than 40 km/h will be illegal. Such a violation will attract a fine of Rs. 1,000 and suspension of driving license for 3 months.

The government has also proposed the use of a safety harness to secure a child to the rider. The safety harness and the protective gear has to be lightweight, adjustable, waterproof and durable. It should be able to support up to 30 kg.

The new rule has been proposed keeping in mind the safety of children, as currently, there are no regulations of this kind in India.
