Summary

No one driving or in charge of a motor vehicle may carry or allow a person to be carried on the running board or otherwise outside the vehicle body. No one may travel on the running board, on the top, or on the bonnet. The rule applies whenever a person is being carried or is riding; such carriage or travel is prohibited and can attract penalties under the Act.

Example

Ravi drives a small truck to move goods and lets Aditya sit on the bonnet to watch the road. Under this rule the driver must not permit Aditya to ride on the bonnet, and Aditya must not travel there; both are committing a prohibited act under the Act.
