Understanding e-challans

Traffic rules form the backbone of road safety. Following them is a responsibility that each vehicle owner or driver must dutifully shoulder. In Kozhikode, common traffic violations such as over-speeding, driving without a valid license or insurance and using a mobile phone while at the wheel could result in an unwelcomed surprise.

Penalties for Traffic Violations in Kozhikode

Here's a table summarising some of the typical traffic violations in Kozhikode and their respective fines:

Traffic Violation	Penalty
Drunken driving	Up to Rs. 15,000/up to 2 years of imprisonment
Driving without a valid license	Rs. 5,000
Driving without valid registration	Rs. 2,000
Driving without valid insurance	Up to Rs. 4,000/up to 3 months of imprisonment\|

Disclaimer: The above-mentioned fines and their conditions are subject to change at the discretion of the governing authorities.

Let's delve into how this affects your vehicle insurance cost. Remember, insurers determine your premium based on your risk level, including your driving history. Numerous traffic violations noted through e-challans indicate irresponsible or careless driving behaviour, increasing your risk level and potentially raising your premium.

Hence, it's wise to drive responsibly and follow all traffic rules, not just for safety but also to keep your auto insurance affordable. Stay attentive to traffic laws, and develop good driving habits, and you might qualify for lower premiums upon insurance renewal with ACKO, known for its transparent processes and competitive pricing.
