Planning a Diwali Road Trip 2026? Don't Let a Small Highway Mistake Ruin Your Journey

Diwali is almost here and a lot of people are planning short drives, family trips and holidays. While you’re getting your bags packed, tyres filled up and route planned there is one key thing that people forget. When planning a drive for Diwali, don’t forget Challan Checking! As the festive season is here, a lot of people are making plans for a quick getaway, family trip and a drive on the highway. However sometimes you can have a minor mistake such as speeding or not wearing a seatbelt which will result in a traffic fine.

You can receive a challan if you make a small mistake such as speeding, not wearing a seatbelt or using your mobile phone whilst driving. Or even not obeying lane discipline. You might not even realise that you have received a violation until you look at your vehicle details.

Here are a few things to remember before heading on the highway this Diwali.

Common mistakes on the highway that could result in a challan.

• Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit could result in a fine.
• Not wearing a seatbelt – Both driver and passengers should wear their seatbelts.
