The Khyberpakhtunkhwa (KP) government has suggested significant increases in traffic violation fines during its financial bill for 2025-26, with a special focus on regulating three -wheeler and limiting minor driving.
For the first time, a separate category for three-wheeled vehicles, including rickshaws and loaders, reported Associated Press from Pakistan (app) Tuesday.
Fines for these vehicles vary from RS200 to RS10,000 depending on the nature of the violation. Non-compliance with route permits will incur a penalty of RS5,000, which will be doubled for repeated offenders.

The bill also proposes stricter action against the use of false driver’s license. Individuals found driving with false documents may have fines between RS5,000 and RS10,000.
Sanctions for minor driving have also been revised. Fines for motorcycle riders under the age of 18 are rising from RS1,000 to RS3,000, while minor drivers of small cars will have fines of RS5,000, up from the current RS2,000.
Officials said the proposed measures are aimed at improving road safety and traffic discipline throughout the province.
