Hey there, folks! Today we’re talking about a hot topic in Maharashtra – number plates on vehicles. It seems like many people are not following the rules when it comes to installing these essential identifiers. Recently, a tweet caught the attention of the Pune Police Traffic Branch, highlighting a vehicle with incomplete and barely visible numbers. The original poster raised concerns about how the police would identify the vehicle in case of an accident or crime.
The response from the Traffic Branch was quite surprising – they admitted that they wouldn’t be able to take any action because the complete vehicle number was not available. However, after some backlash on Twitter, they promised to look into the matter further.
This incident sparked a debate online, with users pointing out similar instances of vehicles flouting number plate regulations. Some even accused the police of being lenient towards influential individuals who violate the rules. The majority of comments criticized the enforcement of number plate norms not just in Pune, but across India.
To help you avoid unknowingly breaking the rules, here are some key number plate norms set by the Maharashtra Police:
– All vehicles in Maharashtra must have High Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) installed by 31st March 2025.
– Number plates must use English letters and Arabic numerals, with specific color combinations for private and commercial vehicles.
– Plates must include certain security features like holograms and serial numbers.
– Fancy lettering or decorations on number plates are strictly prohibited.
– Number plates must be displayed on both the front and rear of the vehicle, following size specifications based on the type of vehicle.
So, folks, let’s make sure we follow these rules and keep our roads safe and compliant with the law. Stay tuned for more updates on this story!
