The Delhi Traffic Police have launched a crackdown on high beam usage on city roads as part of its continued commitment to improving road safety measures.

The targeted crackdown commenced last Saturday with the objective of curbing the unsafe practice of improperly using high-beam headlights, which often causes glare for approaching drivers and poses a significant risk to road users, according to officials.

Teams of traffic officers were deployed across key intersections and thoroughfares in the city during the enforcement drive to identify and penalise motorists violating regulations related to high-beam usage. Violators were not only penalised but also educated about the dangers associated with improper headlight usage. On-the-spot challans were issued in accordance with relevant traffic laws, resulting in penalties for 277 motorists.

An official emphasised that inappropriate use of high beam headlights can impair the vision of other drivers, leading to potentially dangerous situations, especially during night.

The enforcement action by the Delhi Traffic Police highlights the importance of responsible driving behaviour and adherence to traffic regulations for the safety of all road users. The traffic police urged motorists to adhere to guidelines regarding headlight usage to prevent road accidents.
