00:00It's a matter of 7 lakhs, the drivers are taking it as 7 lakhs as if it was an accident.
00:05And they won't say to the police or anyone else,
00:07that you pay 7 lakhs right now or else you'll go to jail.
00:18Where will these drivers get punished for 10 years?
00:22The driver runs for his safety.
00:25If he doesn't run, what will he do?
00:30The driver is charged with 10 years of jail time.
00:33He is not allowed to travel with his family.
00:36His family is being imprisoned for 10 years.
00:39He is not allowed to travel with his family.
00:42The driver runs for his safety.
00:45If he doesn't run, what will he do?
00:51There is a new law,
00:54which has increased the punishment for drivers.
00:57Because of this, all of this is happening.
01:00But this is the ignorance of everyone.
01:02No one knows what is the reason behind making this law.
01:06What is the reason behind this?
01:08And what is the real law that has come?
01:10There is not much difference between the old law and the new law.
01:15You must have seen, in the last 5-10 years,
01:20there have been many such accidents, even through cars,
01:24where cars drive at a very high speed.
01:26Cars can go at speeds of 100, 150, 200.
01:30And more than one person dies in an accident.
01:33The families of the people who die,
01:37should get some compensation.
01:39For that, this law has been introduced.
01:42But this law is not only for truck drivers.
01:48It is the same for all four-wheel drivers and two-wheel drivers.
01:52If I drive my own car, then this law applies to me too.
01:56And this law applies only when there are two conditions.
01:59There are two conditions in this law.
02:02One condition is that if you have met with an accident,
02:05and a person dies, then there is a penalty of 5 years.
02:09The second condition is that if you have met with an accident,
02:14and you run away with your car,
02:17you run away yourself, and you don't inform anyone,
02:21then there is a penalty of 10 years.
02:25If you have met with an accident,
02:28and you leave your car and go to the nearest police station,
02:31or the nearest magistrate,
02:33then there is no penalty for you.
02:36You will be charged with the same penalty,
02:39which is 5 years.
02:42If you are afraid that people will come together
02:45and beat you up because of an accident,
02:47then you have the right to run away.
02:50But don't run away and go to another place.
02:53Go to your transporter or your supervisor.
02:56Go to the police station with them.
02:58That's it.
03:00This is for everyone.
03:02This is for general thinking.
03:04This is not to go against anyone and do this to the driver.
03:07And the second thing is the penalty of 7 lakhs.
03:10People think that the driver will pay 7 lakhs
03:12just because there was an accident.
03:14And the police won't say,
03:16pay 7 lakhs right now or go to jail.
03:19When the case and the trial will go on,
03:22and the driver will be found guilty,
03:25then that's a different story.
