Amongst the many ill-practices that India has adopted when it comes to traffic, riding or driving on the wrong side of the road is perhaps the most common practise in India. but  Now reports  suggest that the Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Ahmedabad has decided that they will black-list all offenders caught twice driving against the flow of traffic.

In the first instance of driving against the traffic, offenders that are caught will have an FIR lodged against them and their papers will be sent to the RTO, where authorities will push for the license in question to be suspended for anything between three to six months. but, if the same offender is caught again, his driving license will be cancelled and the person in question will be blacklisted by the RTO meaning that he cannot apply for a license any time in the near future. Previously, the RTO used to blacklist people who broke the law after five offences. However, the new rules will give the Traffic Police more power and will hopefully cause drivers and riders in the city to drive as per the rules and regulations.

As of now, this applies only to Gujarat, specifically Ahmedabad, but the rest of the country should take a cue from them.
