1 KMPH Over Limit? Fine Lands Driver in Null Island
13 Nov
Summary
- A driver was fined for exceeding speed limit by only 1 kmph.
- The challan showed coordinates located in the Atlantic Ocean.
- The incident occurred on January 10, 2026, on the Yamuna Expressway.
On January 10, 2026, a driver from Haryana was issued a Rs 2,000 fine for exceeding the speed limit by a mere 1 kmph on the Yamuna Expressway. His vehicle was recorded at 101 kmph against the permissible 100 kmph. The traffic authorities cited this minor violation as grounds for the penalty.
Adding to the driver's confusion, the e-challan displayed an unusual location for the alleged offense. The speed gun's record indicated coordinates of 0°N and 0°E, which correspond to a point in the Atlantic Ocean known as Null Island. This discrepancy raised significant questions about the accuracy of the speed detection equipment.
The driver shared the challan online, questioning the strict enforcement for a 1 kmph difference and the bizarre geographical data. He tagged Noida and Uttar Pradesh Traffic Police, seeking an explanation for the road safety enforcement methods. Authorities advised him to contact the e-challan helpline for resolution.
