Although the police said it would allow the use of mobile devices for navigation, the Bangalore traffic police said that using headsets for navigation will be punished. According to the police, the first violation will be fined 500 rupees and the second violation will be fined 1,000 rupees. The police (traffic) joint commissioner BR Ravikanthe Gowda stated that using headsets to answer calls would result in restrictions, and the department made it clear that this was a violation. “According to the Motor Vehicle Law, the use of distracting gadgets during vehicle operation is restricted.

Whether it’s a mobile phone, headset, Bluetooth headset or any other device, it violates this provision, so we have clearly instructed Those who are addicted to such technology during their commute are fined.

The official also stated that even using a phone or headset in the signal would be fined. “Even when you are waiting for a signal, you will be punished for using these devices. Even when people are on the road under the signal light, using mobile devices is an offense. So, yes, those who use mobile phones or Bluetooth devices will be fined,” Gowda said.

As of August this year, the Bangalore traffic police had registered 86,565 people for using mobile phones while driving. However, the police’s decision drew criticism from the city. Some people expressed their dissatisfaction on social media. Rishi Bangera, a delivery agent who owns a food delivery app, said the headset helps to get directions.

“The idea of having these headsets is to avoid using a mobile phone while riding. We can get directions from the GPS app and also get information from customers. This saves a lot of time.
