6 months jail for cell use while driving- should such strict punishment be implied for violating traffic?

This is just another destructive weapon in the demons hand. I am sure this is not going to help anybody except those who wants to harass the common people. Especially in places like Banglore, traffic cannot move faster than 20 Kmph in many of the roads at peak time and more over there is no enough provision on the road where someone can pull over, stop and take the call when it is an urgent one, even if there is a provision heavy traffic may not permit to utilise it.

 Even before a rule is implemented enough arrangements need to be made to help who doesn’t want to break it. This is in a way driving law abiding citizens to be not that anymore and force them lose all their belief in the legal system.

6 months imrisonment is surely tooo much for a crime, rather i prefer calling it an offence, like this. Though we have many other penalities in place to avoid such offences, the problem does not seem to be solving on account of wrong implementation. Further, a fine of Rs. 2000 would be of no use. It is so very easy to get away with a bribe to the cop. An imprisonment of 3-7 days seems to be justified. 

I think 6 months of imprisonment is too much.  However, 2000 bucks of fine every time the driver is caught talking on cell phone should definitely discourage him / her from attempting such traffic violations.  Also, this must be enforced strictly without giving in to bribery.  That is enough to stop such violations.

Hi..This is pavan, new to this network. however, I feel that 6 months & 2000/- is too much.

If rules are not implemented properly at any stage, what is the use of implementing new ?

I beleive following the existing rules strictly & implementing them is more than enough than new onew. 

Imagine how much damage is done to the person who undegoes 6 months imprisonment !!! This is definitely too much. 

Yes Sonam, i think u r right and this will helpful for our badly corrupted system only.

Sufficient laws are there, its we the people first should inculcate the desired discipline. 'Chelta hai', '50/100 de denge' wont go. Its everybody, you can see, from thelewala to the educated one, all spitting on roads, even killing innocent people who dont have a roof of there own & hence sleep roadsides, with there BMW's & still were out hands of law until & unless people (media) woke-up. We all should be responsible; police, us, everyone.
