Section 181 of MVA : Section 181: Driving Vehicles In Contravention Of Section 3 Or Section 4

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where an individual, John, decides to drive his friend's car to the grocery store. John has never obtained a driver's license, which is a requirement under section 3 of The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. While on his way, he gets pulled over by a traffic officer for a routine check. Upon request, John is unable to produce a valid driver's license. The officer, after confirming that John has indeed never been issued a license, charges him with the offence under section 181 of the Act. Consequently, John could face a penalty that includes imprisonment up to three months, a fine of five thousand rupees, or both, for driving without a valid driver's license.
