Heavy Fines Announced for Using LED and Flasher Lights on Vehicles as authorities tighten traffic monitoring in the city. Officials confirmed that heavy fines for illegal LED lights on vehicles will apply immediately. The decision aims to improve road user safety and reduce traffic violations in Rawalpindi. Drivers using police-style lights on cars now face strict penalties because such lighting breaks public safety regulations.
According to City Traffic Police Rawalpindi, the campaign targets unauthorized vehicle lighting across major roads. Farhan Aslam, Chief Traffic Officer, said these lights create glare from LED lights and confuse drivers. As a result, glare-related collisions increase, especially during safe nighttime driving hours. Officials report that high-intensity vehicle lights are a major accident risk factor.
The flasher lights ban in Pakistan follows clear vehicle modification laws in Pakistan. Emergency vehicle lighting standards allow only rescue services to use flashing lights. However, many motorists ignore standard vehicle lighting requirements. This behavior leads to hazardous driving conditions and strict law enforcement action. Recent district-wide enforcement drive operations resulted in dozens of fines within days.
Authorities also launched a traffic police awareness campaign to educate citizens. Officers explain motorcycle lighting rules and car lighting regulations during checkpoints. Drivers asking, “Are flasher lights illegal in Pakistan?” now receive clear guidance. The penalty for police lights on private vehicles includes heavy fines and possible vehicle seizure.
Road safety enforcement remains a top priority in Rawalpindi. Officials urge motorists to ensure vehicle safety compliance and follow Pakistan road safety regulations. Responsible driving reduces non-standard lighting hazards and supports road accident prevention measures.
