SC proposes no fuel for uninsured vehicles, seeks tech-driven road safety overhaul

The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to design a pilot project denying fuel to uninsured vehicles. This initiative aims to improve road safety and ensure compliance with insurance laws. Automatic vehicle detection systems will replace physical toll collection on select highway corridors. New cars will now require four years of third-party insurance cover. State police will use handheld devices for real-time insurance verification.
