Abstract The Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 is a significant piece of legislation that aims to reform and strengthen the laws governing road safety and motor vehicles in India. The Act was introduced as an amendment to the existing Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and has been implemented with the objective of reducing road accidents, improving traffic management, and ensuring greater accountability among road users.

The Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 introduces several key provisions that have far-reaching implications for motorists, passengers, and other stakeholders. One of the major highlights of the Act is the substantial increase in fines and penalties for traffic violations, such as over-speeding, drunk driving, not wearing a seatbelt or helmet, and using a mobile phone while driving. The Act also introduces stricter provisions for driving without a valid license, allowing underage driving, and dangerous driving, with higher penalties and imprisonment in certain cases.
Another significant aspect of the Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 is the focus on improving road safety measures. The Act mandates the use of electronic enforcement, such as speed cameras and red-light cameras, to catch traffic violators. It also emphasizes the importance of road engineering and design, making it mandatory for road authorities to follow guidelines for road construction and maintenance. The Act also introduces provisions for protecting vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, and sets guidelines for their safety.
