Around the world, authorities are tweaking penalties to curb violations and raise revenue.
In Mysuru, district police collected ₹2.52 lakh under one traffic‑fine rebate scheme, while Bengaluru announced a 20‑day 50 % waiver on e‑challan fines; in Richmond, officials plan to lift penalties for anti‑social behaviour and unauthorised drone use to £100, and UK drivers could face a £1,000 fine for failing to obey a single speed‑limit sign, with stranded commuters from one train crash also threatened with parking fines as part of broader enforcement drives.
