Responsibility of owners of motor vehicles for contravention of sections 3 and 4
AI Assist
Summary
Owner or person in charge must not allow anyone to drive who does not meet the licence, age or other requirements in sections 3 and 4. It applies whenever a vehicle is driven by someone lacking those qualifications. Allowing such a person makes the owner or person in charge responsible for the contravention and liable to prosecution or penalties under the Act.
Example
Ravi owns a motorcycle and lets his friend Arjun ride it even though Arjun has no driving licence. Because Arjun does not satisfy the requirements of section 3 or 4, Ravi as owner is responsible for the contravention and may be prosecuted or penalised.
Bare Act
Enacted textNo owner or person in charge of a motor vehicle shall cause or permit any person who does not satisfy the provisions of section 3 or section 4 to drive the vehicle.
