You are a traffic constable and while on duty you see 3
people riding a motorcycle without a helmet and jumping
the red signal. On stopping them, you came to know that
one of them met with an accident due to potholes and is
severely bleeding and due to non-arrival of ambulance
they are taking him to the hospital. On further enquiry,
you came to know that the driver does not have a driving
license and works as day wager. While on his way to work,
he found the man lying injured on the road and in a rush
to take him to hospital, he left his helmet on the site of an
accident. The driver expresses his financial inability to pay
increased fines. Recently, due to the enforcement of new
Motor Vehicles Act, you are under severe pressure from
your seniors for strict enforcement.
