Explanation:

Supreme Court (SC) appointed panel on road safety was headed by Justice (retd) KS Radhakrishnan.
The Committee directs that in case of driving a vehicle under the influence of drinks or drugs, the police should prosecute the offender and seek imprisonment as prescribed under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 even for the first offence.
It also directed that the helmet laws be made applicable all over the State/UT both for main riders and the pillion riders.
In case where the law relating to the use of helmet is violated by either the main rider or the pillion rider, they should both be subject to Road Safety Education and Counselling for not less than 2 hours before imposition of fine as prescribed under the Act.
