Audi owner fined Rs 1,000 for not wearing a helmet, his response will blow your mind!

A man from Jhansi has taken the internet by a storm for his witty response to an unusual traffic challan. Well, imagine getting a challan for not wearing a seatbelt while riding a bike. Amused? A similar thing happened with Bahadur Singh Parihar from Uttar Pradesh, president of a truckers’ union, when he received a challan on his mobile phone. The amusing incident unfolded when a challan was sent to his phone depicting a motorcycle being ridden without a helmet.To Parihar’s surprise, the category mentioned on the challan indicated “motor car.”

Upon contacting the RTO officials to rectify the error, he was advised to wait until the Lok Sabha elections concluded. Unwilling to risk another fine, Parihar thought of a surprising solution: he began wearing a helmet while driving his Audi. A video of him wearing a helmet while driving his luxury car has been going viral on social media and has garnered both amusement and attention from netizens.

The mistake probably happened because of a glitch in the challan system. It’s possible that a motorcycle with a registration number similar to Parihar’s car was captured by a camera breaking the law, but the challan was mistakenly sent to him instead. While some might find it humorous, this incident also highlights the importance of proper challan issuance and timely resolution of errors within the traffic management system. At a time when technology is widely used for surveillance, incidents like this raise doubts about the trustworthiness of such systems.
