Being a very cautious, law-abiding driver who does not get fines or challans and ensures the cleanliness of his/her driving record requires a pro-active, compliance-oriented approach that starts with a thorough knowledge of traffic rules and state laws.
Make it a habit to always have your driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance, and pollution under control (PUC) certificate checked, and if they are valid, store them in an easily accessible place, and leave hard copies of them in your car after putting digital copies in secure cloud storage for when inspections happen; install in your car the required safety features—such as seat belts, airbags, reflective triangles, first‑aid kit and regularly send the car for a checkup to rule out the possibility of brake or light failures that are not rare war e and tear of age; get a GPS with real-time traffic updates and speed-limit alerts as well as mobile apps that can educate you on where to find automated speed cameras, tell you no-go areas at the traffic lights and where police checkpoints are, and even let you know the speed of the car.
Hence, you can act in advance instead of having to wait for things to happen, habitually observe speed limits, observ e traffic rules, practice lane discipline, and if on a highway complies with the speed limit setting of the highway which is way far from going over by accident, and try to practice defensive driving skills to avoid hazards and unexpected last-minute maneuvers that will draw the attention of other road users or if it’s a one-way street the police may appear from the front; park your car in places that are clearly designated as authorized, pay for the ticket using mobile wallets, which turns out to be your payment receipt and at the same time place permits that are easy to see on your dashboard—you will need the parking fee to be paid to avoid being booted or towed; do not just stick to the lines, also participate in the community forums, join local traffic-police social media accounts as it will enable you to know every bit of information regarding new rules, any sudden diversions of the traffic or whether the enforcers are at it, and if you sign up for electronic challans stand by to take notice of the alerts coming for the same reason of clearing any online infractions immediately—since it has been proven that doing so within a stipulated duration results in decreased penalties; through a combination of rigorous documentation, preventive maintenance, smart routing, self-disciplined driving habits, and immediate digital interactions with the law enforcement systems, you can limit the unintended errors significantly and the costs that you would have incurred as well as the working hours that will be freed in the process and thus make your travels legal, less costly, and tension-free.
