1. “Ab Toh Metro Leni Hi Padegi, ‘Cause I Like My Jayadaad!”
Yep, so by now, you must’ve heard about several cases where the challan being charged was unbelievably and ridiculously high. And even if you haven’t, you must have seen the revised penalties for all the offences, right? With the new fines being this hefty, we’re pretty sure that most of us Delhiites will prefer the struggle of travelling in the metro than risking steep fines by driving. After all, no one likes their property papers being pawned to settle the penalties, do they?
2. “Thappad Se Darr Nahi Lagta Sahab, Traffic Police Se Lagta Hai.”
This iconic line reminds of us of Dabangg, but soon this will be used by us Delhizens with reference to the traffic police and rightly so ‘cause with the new fine, most of us Delhiites will now probably dread the traffic cops stopping us, even if we’re not guilty. So the next time someone asks you, what is it that you fear the most, your answer might just be “getting caught by the traffic police”!
3. “Guess Banks Should Now Be Rolling Out ‘Fine/Challan Loan Yojnas’!”
So, it was in one of the news articles that we read about a man who was penalised Rs 23,000 while he was riding a scooter worth Rs 15,000! Believe it or not, this actually happened in saadi Dilli, and we couldn’t help but wonder about various bank loans. Because if things continue like this, which it looks like it might, we’ll probably need banks to roll out the ‘Fine/Challan Loan Yojna’, won’t we?
4. “Dangal Ka Pata Nahi, But Ab Memes Honge!”
From what we can tell, meme-makers will not run of content, like ever! ‘Cause the first day when the new amendments came into force, the internet was FLOODED with crazy memes that guaranteed y’all a good laugh even if you had paid the astronomical challan. Our fave one so far has been “I’ve always wondered how people survive on just one kidney, so I just broke a traffic rule and paid the fine!”.
5. “Meanwhile, Delhi Roads Might Get Traffic Jam Free, ‘Cause Na Rahegi Gaadi, Na Hoga Challan!”
This one will bring joy to those who constantly complain about other lousy drivers on the road or hours-long traffic jams, provided IF it happens! Yep, ‘cause, to be honest, if things continue this way, we’d prefer to park our cars at home and hail a cab instead or just travel by metro or bus even. After all, if we don’t drive a car, we won’t have to pay the challan, simple!
