Peshawar Traffic Police Fine 3,301 Violators

City Traffic Police Peshawar fined 3,301 people during enforcement operations across the city, sending a clear warning to drivers using unregistered vehicles or illegal vehicle changes. reportedly the action was taken on the directions of Chief Traffic Officer Dr. Zahidullah, with checkpoints set up in different sectors of Peshawar.

The crackdown focused on four main violations. Black-tinted windows accounted for the biggest share, with 1,601 cases. Unregistered vehicles came next at 1,201. Police also took action against 296 people for fancy number plates and 203 for flashing lights.

They also removed unauthorized flashing lights, tinted window films and fancy number plates from vehicles during the operation. For drivers, that means the problem is not only the fine itself. A vehicle may also need to be brought back into legal condition before it is used again.

The report does not give the amount of each fine, the exact dates of the checks, or the checkpoints used in each area. It also does not say what kinds of vehicles were stopped most often. So drivers should not assume the penalty was the same for every case.

Dr. Zahidullah said traffic staff will keep enforcing the law and will take action against violators without discrimination. He also urged residents to follow traffic rules and cooperate with police. In simple terms, anyone driving with black film on windows, illegal lights, or improper plates could face the same kind of action if caught at a checkpoint.

For Peshawar motorists, the safest step is straightforward: make sure the vehicle is properly registered, remove any banned tint or flashing lights, and use compliant number plates. Keep registration papers and related documents in the vehicle as well.

This is not the first time traffic police action has become a major issue for drivers.
