"Lucknow High Court Upholds Insurable Interest Despite Pending Vehicle Transfer"

The right to claim insurance is not negated till the ownership is formally transferred.

The High Court upheld the Permanent Lok Adalat’s decision and held that the Respondent-Govind Gupta retained an insurable interest in the truck, despite the pending transfer to Sanjeev Kumar.

Background

Govind Gupta, the owner of a truck insured by New India Assurance Company for ₹13,00,000, filed a claim after the truck was involved in an accident on November 1, 2020. He submitted repair bills amounting to ₹4,85,768. The insurance company rejected the claim, citing the truck’s transfer to Sanjeev Kumar, who was paying the loan installments but had not formally transferred the vehicle.

The New India Assurance Company Limited, Lakhimpur Kheri v. Permanent Lok Adalat, Lakhimpur Kheri And Another

WP 3907/2024

Before the Allahabad High Court

Heard by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Subhash Vidyarthi J

Legal Issue

Whether the Respondent - Govind Gupta, having transferred possession of the truck to Sanjeev Kumar through an agreement but without formally completing the ownership transfer, retained an "insurable interest" in the truck, making him eligible to claim insurance?

Argument of parties

Petitioner's Argument (Insurance Company)

Since the petitioner had transferred possession of the truck to Sanjeev Kumar, he no longer had an insurable interest, making him ineligible to claim compensation.

Respondent's Argument (Govind Gupta)

The formal transfer of the truck had not yet occurred, as the loan, had not been fully repaid, and he remained the registered owner.

Court's Observation

Under Section 157 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the transfer of ownership and the insurance policy are deemed to transfer together, provided the ownership is legally transferred.

In this case, the truck had not been formally transferred, as the loan repayment was still ongoing.

Get your motor runnin' - 1/6

Bradley, a bit of a (very talented) grease monkey and Jake, who has been sent to see him because he's apparently the best mechanic Maverick knows.

A longer fleshed out fic at the request of @poetryandpickles based on their idea in this post. Likely going to be 3-4 parts and likely an excuse for lots of smut. Just as an FYI.

PART ONE

                It’s been a busy week but he’s managed to clear the bulk of the work, ordered parts actually arriving early or on time like some damned miracle. He’s managed to get people’s vehicles back to them before they expected, which always makes for happy customers. He has a loyal base, and he knows they recommend him wider afield. It keeps him busy and the bills paid. He likes it, positioned in the small area of Oak Hills. Close enough to both China Lake and North Island to enable visiting if he feels like it but not close enough that anyone can just pop in. Not that that stops Mav, but he suspects he could live in another country and Mav would still find a way of turning up unannounced.

                He hadn’t intended to become a mechanic, but he had sort of fallen into it. Time tinkering on cars with Mav and his struggle to remain focussed in the classroom had meant when he’d raised the idea of entering an apprenticeship with a diesel mechanic Mav had been incredibly supportive. After insisting he get his GED. That had been the incentive he’d needed to act, and then he’d finished up and entered his first year. He’d worked hard, and it had paid off, his boss involving him in more and more challenging jobs and Bradley grew into someone that could often tell what was wrong just by listening to the engine.

                Then he’d been encouraged to undertake further study, which he’d balked at, because study. But then learning about auto electrical work tied in so nicely with what he was already doing it didn’t even seem like study, simply common sense and he’d become the best damned mechanic Robbie had working for him, a fact he’d been proud of. Then he’d decided to start up his own business, sat down with Mav and Ice and talked about his parents’ house and life insurance and then they’d agreed. Robbie had a friend that was selling up and now he’s been here four years, and he thinks the locals might actually start calling him a local too soon. Any day now.

…            …            …

                Jake’s not sure why he’s driven all the way out here, he’s driven past three other mechanics on the way to this garage and it’s only because Maverick had recommended this place that he’d kept the address in his GPS and followed it out here. For nearly two fucking hours. Who drives a dodgy car two hours to get to the mechanic? He’s hot and tired, the air conditioning unit in his car broken, well, not broken but it’s leaking something Jake doesn’t want to look too closely at but which he hopes is water. The trunk of his car now fills up with water when it rains, which had been an incredibly unpleasant surprise to find when he returned from his most recent deployment. He likes water, but he doesn’t need or want it in his car.

                He pulls down a dusty road and looks around, a little worried suddenly that Maverick has sent him on a wild goose chase and he’s going to end up the next victim of a mass murderer. But no, there it is, a large shed with four roller doors, all open in deference to the summer heat. There’s two different types of tow trucks parked up out front, one looking large enough to tow a truck, and there’s also large earth moving equipment parked up and he wonders if he’s in the right place. Then he spies it, the sign declaring it as Bradshaw’s, and that’s who Mav had sent him to see. The best mechanic he knew, apparently, which Jake considers high praise coming from someone like Maverick Mitchell. He parks up and gets out, leaves the door open just in case he needs to run and make a fast get away; heads inside toward where he can music coming from a radio, Meat Loaf singing about love.

                “Hello?”

                He can see a body under an old van and he walks closer, repeats his greeting and hopes the guy isn’t too old. He doesn’t want to give him a heart attack or something. Then the creeper is coming from out beneath the beaten-up van and it’s legs legs legs and for fucks sake, who needs legs that long? This guy apparently, and the legs are clothed in grease-stained coveralls, but they’re tied around the guy’s waist, which is now appearing, and he’s wearing a threadbare white tank, and it’s damp with sweat, so damp Jake can see fucking nipples. He’s seen porn that starts like this.

                He swallows roughly, takes in the broad chest, arms, muscles and shoulders all appearing like he’s watching in slow motion and okay, the long legs make more sense now if they have to carry all that around. He thought that he might cause a heart attack but now he’s starting to wonder if he’s going to have one instead. He wasn’t expecting this. He’d been expecting someone Maverick’s age, or older. Jesus. He thinks the heat might be getting to him, because it suddenly feels much hotter than it was a few minutes ago.

                “Can I help you?” the guy asks, and he’s just lying there looking up at Jake, not even bothering to stand although he has raised his head a little and Jake can see his abdominal muscles and he was not prepared for this.

                “I’m,” he coughs to clear his throat, which is of course as dry as the desert. “I’m looking for Bradshaw?”

                “You found him. How can I help?” the apparent Bradshaw repeats, and he’s bracing and rolling off the creeper, coming to a stand in front of Jake, wiping his hands on a cloth pulled from his back pocket and Jake doesn’t know if it’s helped remove anything or just smeared it around some more.

                “I, uh. My car’s got some issues. My CO, uh, commanding officer, he said you were the best mechanic he knew.”

                “Of course he did.”

                “Do you know him?”

                “Maverick? Yeah, you could say that.”

                Jake is surprised he guesses right, then again he supposes some people would consider knowing Maverick a bad thing, and this man looks a little resigned and he wonders exactly what this guy has done to earn Maverick’s high level of admiration, because he’s never met a man harder to please.

                “So he sent you here, without calling first to check to see if I had time to work on it. Do you have another ride, or a place to stay?”

                “Uh…” Jake blinks. He hadn’t thought of any of that, and he’s two hours away from his base accommodation in North Island. “Shit.”

                “Let me take a look. Might be able to get her fixed up straight away and get you back on the road.”

                If he can do that, then he really is the best mechanic.

Understanding a Car Accident Attorney's Role

Seeking the maximum compensation for your injuries and losses

The type and severity of the injuries and damages involved

The percentage of cases that were settled or went to trial

The average duration of the cases

Assessing Availability and Responsiveness

The final step in finding the best phoenix car accident attorney for your case is to assess their availability and responsiveness. In your search for a lawyer, look for:

Simple to contact via text, email, or phone

Prompt in returning your calls and messages

Ready to respond to your inquiries and handle your problems

Flexible in scheduling appointments and meetings

Committed to providing your case the time and attention it needs

You should also ask them about their caseload and how many cases they handle at a time. You should avoid lawyers who are too busy or overloaded with work, as they may not be able to devote enough time and resources to your case.

Conclusion

To sum up, finding the best phoenix car accident attorney for your case is a crucial step in securing your legal rights and obtaining the compensation you deserve. You should follow the tips outlined in this article to find a lawyer who is qualified, experienced, reputable, and reliable, and who can represent your best interests and fight for your rights.

Just in case some people see this and don't take it seriously. Even if you don't hit another person with your car, your careless driving CAN KILL someone.

Late August of 2023 I was nearly beheaded as a result of two other road raging drivers. I first noticed them when I was checking my mirrors to change lanes. I saw an older black Silverado and a brand new red RAV4 speeding a weaving in and out of lanes (im talking at least 100mph). I maintained my speed and position waiting for them to pass (this is the safest action to take when people are acting a fool. You don't want to throw them a curveball and have them collide with you or another car). The RAV4 swerved into my lane in front of me to shoot the gap between me and a truck hauling a cargo trailer in the lane to my right. He slammed into a piece of debris in the lane. He hit it so hard it sent it airborne, launched backward at my car.

The debris in question was a 15lbs metal sphere, it looks like a piece of an electric motor or something. It was shot back at my car, going who knows how fast, as I drove toward it at highway speeds. It shot thru my front windshield, passed inches from my head between the front seats, smashed my back windshield out, and finally slammed into the tailgate of my truck where it left a baseball sized dent in the metal.

I was covered in broken glass head to toe, bleeding all over from tiny lacerations. I had glass in my hair, ears, mouth, and right eye. Had that sphere pulled 2 inches to the left it would have crushed my head like a beer can on a frat boys forehead. Had anyone been in the back seat of my truck I have no doubts it would have killed them. I'm, amazingly, fine other than the nightmares I had for the next 3 weeks. It cost roughly $3,000.00 to fix my car between repairs and insurance premium increases (yeah fun fact, the insurance refused to call this a hit and run because there was no vehicle contact so my premiums went up for the next 6 months).

The sad part is, I have the whole encounter on dashcam. The police do not care and I can't even read the RAV4s stupid paper plates to find them. For that they need to pray to whatever God they worship. After weeks of nightmares of reliving the accident and turning back to see my dog dying slowly from a crushed rib cage. Or nightmares of having my friends and family die in that accident. If I ever find the person who did this to me, I just might blow their brains out.

So yeah, fucking be responsible. The ONLY reason that RAV4 isn't in jail for manslaughter is because of 3 inches of space. Had that debris killed me, there would have been a man hunt to find them and they would have gone to prison.

TLDR; Secure your load, respect traffic laws, and keep your emotions off the road and your eyes on it. Otherwise you might just kill someone and spend the rest of your life in lockup.

Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.

Why Bike Insurance Is Crucial for Daily Commuters?

For millions of daily commuters in India, two-wheelers are not just vehicles; they’re an essential part of life. The convenience, cost-effectiveness, and agility of bikes make them a preferred mode of transport in bustling cities and towns. However, riding a two-wheeler every day comes with its risks. That’s where two wheeler insurance plays a critical role in ensuring safety, financial protection, and peace of mind.

1. Financial Protection Against Accidents

Accidents can happen unexpectedly, even to the most careful riders. Daily commuting increases your exposure to busy roads, reckless drivers, and unpredictable conditions. Having a comprehensive insurance policy for bike ensures that you’re financially covered for damages to your vehicle and injuries to yourself or others.

For those on a budget, bike insurance third party is the minimum legal requirement. It covers damages to third-party property or injuries to third parties, ensuring you comply with the law while staying protected.

2. Legal Compliance

Under the Motor Vehicles Act in India, riding a two-wheeler without at least a bike insurance third party policy is illegal and punishable by fines. Daily commuters, who rely on their bikes for work or personal errands, can avoid legal hassles by ensuring their vehicle is adequately insured.

3. Cost-Effective Coverage

Daily commuting can lead to wear and tear, increasing the chances of repairs and maintenance expenses. A good 2 wheeler insurance policy can help cover repair costs, saving you from unexpected financial burdens. With options to purchase two wheeler insurance online, finding affordable bike insurance price plans has never been easier.

4. Protection Against Theft or Loss

Daily use of your bike also increases the risk of theft, especially in urban areas. Comprehensive two-wheeler insurance covers the loss of your bike, ensuring you’re not left stranded without financial support. A quick search for bike insurance near me can connect you with reliable insurers offering this essential protection.

5. Coverage for Natural and Man-Made Disasters

Daily commuters often face challenges like heavy rains, floods, or road accidents due to human errors. With comprehensive two-wheeler insurance, you’re protected from damages caused by natural calamities and man-made disasters like riots or vandalism.

6. No Claim Bonus (NCB) Benefits

If you’re a responsible rider and don’t file any claims during the policy period, you can enjoy NCB discounts on your premium when renewing your insurance. This makes two wheeler insurance online an even more cost-effective option for daily commuters.

7. Peace of Mind for Riders and Families

For daily commuters, the constant worry of accidents, theft, or unexpected repairs can be stressful. Having a reliable insurance policy for bike provides a safety net that ensures both you and your family feel secure.

Final Thoughts

Bike insurance isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s a necessity for daily commuters. From offering financial protection to covering repairs, accidents, and theft, the benefits of a good 2 wheeler insurance policy are invaluable. With the option to purchase two wheeler insurance online, securing your daily commute has become quick and hassle-free.

So, why wait? Compare bike insurance price plans today and find a policy that fits your needs. A safe ride is a secure ride, and with the right insurance in place, you can navigate your daily commute worry-free.

Illinois Personal Injury Law Firm: Your Guide to Legal Help After an Accident

When you’ve been injured due to an accident, navigating the complexities of the legal system can be overwhelming. Whether it’s a car crash, slip and fall, or a workplace injury, understanding your rights and options is crucial. Hiring a reputable Illinois personal injury law firm can make all the difference in securing the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.

What is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law refers to legal claims made by individuals who have been injured due to someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct. These cases can cover a wide range of incidents, including:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car, truck, motorcycle, or bicycle accidents.

Slip and Fall: Injuries that occur due to unsafe conditions in public or private spaces.

Workplace Injuries: Accidents that happen on the job or due to hazardous work conditions.

Medical Malpractice: Cases involving errors or negligence by healthcare professionals.

Product Liability: Injuries caused by defective products.

Wrongful Death: When someone loses their life due to someone else’s negligence or intentional act.

An Illinois personal injury law firm specializes in guiding clients through the legal process and ensuring they receive fair compensation.

Why Hire an Illinois Personal Injury Lawyer?

Many individuals believe that they can handle a personal injury claim on their own, but in reality, having an experienced Illinois personal injury law firm by your side offers several advantages:

Expertise in the Legal Process: Personal injury cases can be complex, requiring a thorough understanding of Illinois laws, court systems, and legal procedures. An experienced attorney knows how to navigate these hurdles effectively.

Access to Resources: A reputable law firm has access to experts, investigators, and resources that can strengthen your case. Whether it's gathering witness statements, analyzing medical records, or consulting with accident reconstruction experts, your attorney will ensure that all aspects of your case are covered.

Maximized Compensation: Personal injury lawyers are skilled in negotiating settlements with insurance companies. They understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize claims and can ensure you are not left with less than what you deserve.

Contingency Fee Basis: Many personal injury law firms operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This arrangement makes legal services more accessible and aligns the lawyer's interests with yours.

Focus on Your Recovery: After an accident, your primary concern should be healing and recovery. A qualified Illinois personal injury law firm will handle all the legal paperwork, negotiations, and court appearances, so you can focus on getting better.

How Do Illinois Personal Injury Cases Work?

Initial Consultation: Most personal injury law firms offer a free initial consultation. During this meeting, your attorney will evaluate the details of your case and determine if it’s worth pursuing.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering: Once you’ve agreed to work with a firm, your attorney will begin gathering evidence to support your case. This may include obtaining police reports, medical records, and speaking with witnesses.

Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Before filing a lawsuit, your attorney will usually attempt to negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company. Most cases settle out of court, which can save time and money.

Filing a Lawsuit: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may advise you to file a lawsuit. This involves taking your case to court, where a judge or jury will decide the outcome.

Trial and Verdict: If your case goes to trial, the court will hear arguments from both sides, and a verdict will be reached. If you win, the court will award damages.

Common Types of Damages in Personal Injury Cases

In a personal injury lawsuit, the goal is to secure compensation for your injuries. There are two main types of damages you may be entitled to:

Economic Damages: These are quantifiable damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and future medical costs.

Non-Economic Damages: These are more subjective and include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.

How to Choose the Right Illinois Personal Injury Law Firm

Choosing the right Illinois personal injury law firm is a critical decision. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a lawyer:

Experience: Look for a law firm that specializes in personal injury law with a track record of successful outcomes for clients.

Reputation: Research the firm’s reputation online, including client reviews, ratings, and any professional accolades.

Personalized Attention: Your case should receive personalized attention, with the attorney providing regular updates and answering any questions you have.

Trial Experience: While many personal injury cases settle, it's essential to choose a lawyer with trial experience in case your case goes to court.

Final Thoughts

Dealing with the aftermath of an injury is never easy, but with the help of an experienced Illinois personal injury law firm, you can rest assured knowing your legal matters are in good hands. Whether it’s securing compensation for medical expenses or holding negligent parties accountable, the right lawyer can make all the difference. If you’ve been injured in an accident, don’t hesitate to reach out to a trusted law firm and begin the journey to recovery today.

A Comprehensive Guide to Vehicle Insurance: Tata Ace, Mahindra Bolero, Ashok Leyland Dost, Mahindra Maxximo, Maruti Super Carry, and Comprehensive Car Insurance

In today's vehicle-centric world, understanding the nuances of vehicle insurance is essential for every owner. From commercial vehicles like the Tata Ace and Mahindra Bolero to compact models like the Maruti Super Carry, insurance plays a critical role in safeguarding your investment. This article explores the various insurance options available for these vehicles and delves into the importance of comprehensive car insurance.

Tata Ace Third Party Insurance

The Tata Ace is a leading choice among small commercial vehicles due to its versatility and reliability. However, operating this vehicle without the appropriate insurance can lead to significant financial risks.

What is Third Party Insurance?

Third party insurance is a legal requirement under the Motor Vehicles Act in India. It covers liabilities arising from damages or injuries caused to third parties in an accident involving the insured vehicle. While it does not cover damages to the vehicle itself, it provides crucial protection against legal claims.

Mahindra Bolero Insurance Price

The Mahindra Bolero is celebrated for its ruggedness and is particularly popular in rural areas. Understanding the factors that influence its insurance pricing is essential for prospective owners.

Factors Affecting Mahindra Bolero Insurance Price

Vehicle Model and Age: Newer models generally incur higher premiums.

Coverage Type: Comprehensive insurance, which includes third party and own damage coverage, is more expensive than basic third party insurance.

No Claim Bonus (NCB): A claim-free history can earn you significant discounts.

Add-on Covers: Optional features, such as personal accident cover, can raise the overall cost.

Average Insurance Costs

Mahindra Bolero insurance typically ranges from INR 10,000 to INR 20,000 annually for comprehensive coverage. It’s advisable to compare quotes from different insurers for the best rates.

Ashok Leyland Dost Insurance Price

The Ashok Leyland Dost is another popular choice in the light commercial vehicle segment. Understanding its insurance pricing is vital for owners looking to safeguard their investment.

Factors Influencing Ashok Leyland Dost Insurance Price

Vehicle Age and Model: Newer models tend to have higher premiums due to their value.

Coverage Options: Comprehensive insurance is more costly than basic third party insurance.

Claim History: A good no-claim record can lead to lower premiums.

Location: The area of operation can also impact insurance costs due to varying risk levels.

Average Insurance Costs

Personal Injury Claims Against Government Entities in Georgia

Filing a personal injury claim can be complex, but when the defendant is a government entity, the process becomes even more challenging. In Georgia, such claims are governed by specific legal principles like sovereign immunity and waivers, and different rules apply depending on whether you’re filing against state, county, or city governments. This blog will explore how these claims work and outline the procedural hurdles you need to clear to successfully pursue a case. 

Claims Against the State of Georgia: Understanding the Georgia Tort Claims Act (GTCA) 

When pursuing a claim against a state entity in Georgia, the Georgia Tort Claims Act (GTCA) is the governing law. The GTCA was created to allow injured parties to sue the state while still maintaining some degree of sovereign immunity. Sovereign immunity is a legal doctrine that typically shields government entities from lawsuits. However, the GTCA provides limited waivers to this immunity, meaning you can pursue compensation, but there are restrictions. 

Under the GTCA, the state has capped liability at $1 million per individual claim and $3 million for all claims arising from a single event. Claims must be filed within the confines of the Act, including adhering to specific procedural steps like providing ante litem notice (pre-lawsuit notification). 

What is Sovereign Immunity? 

Sovereign immunity is a rule that protects government bodies, like the State of Georgia, from being sued unless they explicitly waive that protection. In general, sovereign immunity remains unless there is a statute, like the GTCA, that creates exceptions. 

However, even when waivers exist, there are limits. For instance, the GTCA allows lawsuits for injuries caused by state employees acting within their duties, but only for non-discretionary actions. Moreover, various exceptions to the waiver still exist, protecting the state from certain claims like those related to tax collection, judicial actions, or law enforcement decisions. 

Filing a Claim: The Ante Litem Notice Requirement 

A crucial step in filing a claim against a state entity is the ante litem notice. This notice must be provided within 12 months of the injury or loss and sent to the appropriate state agency and the Risk Management Division of the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS). The ante litem notice should detail the nature of the claim, including the amount of damages sought and the circumstances surrounding the injury. 

Failure to provide this notice can result in the dismissal of your claim before it even gets off the ground, making it one of the most essential procedural requirements. 

Personal Injury Claims Against Municipal Governments: Different Rules Apply 

When it comes to claims against cities, the rules vary. Unlike state-level claims governed by the GTCA, claims against municipalities have their own set of requirements, often detailed in O.C.G.A. § 36-33-1 et seq. Municipalities may also waive sovereign immunity in cases involving motor vehicle accidents or certain ministerial functions, like maintaining streets or public infrastructure. 

The ante litem notice requirements for municipalities are stricter. Claimants must send a notice within six months of the injury, specifying the amount of damages sought. This requirement often trips up claimants, as courts have ruled that notices seeking “up to” a certain amount are too vague and insufficient to meet the statutory standard. 

Claims Against Counties: A Unique Challenge 

Counties in Georgia enjoy broader sovereign immunity compared to cities, and the waivers that apply to municipalities often do not extend to counties. However, counties do waive sovereign immunity in motor vehicle accident cases, with an automatic waiver of $500,000. If a county has purchased insurance coverage above this amount, the waiver can be higher. 

Unlike state or city claims, counties do not have a formal ante litem notice requirement. However, claimants must notify the county of their claim within 12 months of the injury, either by filing a lawsuit or delivering a written notice. 

Filing a Claim Against a Government Entity in Georgia 

Filing a personal injury claim against a government entity in Georgia is a complex process filled with procedural requirements, including sovereign immunity waivers and ante litem notices. Whether you’re dealing with the state, a city, or a county, each has its own set of rules and limitations, making it essential to understand the legal landscape before proceeding. Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney familiar with these nuances is critical to ensuring your claim is handled correctly. 

If you’ve been injured and are considering filing a claim against a government entity, contact 770GOODLAW, Car Accident Lawyers, for a free consultation. We’ll guide you through the complex process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

DPS new requirements

‘We have now made 3 trips back to the house’:

Texas woman issues warning after trying to renew her license—and finding unexpected new requirements

For a long time, people only had to bring their driver’s licenses to the DMV to renew them.

Since Congress passed the “REAL ID Modernization Act” in 2020, Real IDs have become mandatory throughout the country as a form of identification and authorization to drive.

But every state has different requirements for applying for one.

After learning this the hard way, one woman issued a public service announcement about the requirements for applying for a Real ID in Texas.

“Hi, guys. So, I have sort of, like, a public service announcement,” Texas resident Cheryl (@theycallme.cheryl) said in a TikTok post.

“My husband and I went to go renew our licenses today here in Texas and just in case you didn’t know, there’s a lot of new requirements because I haven’t had my license renewed since 2018,” she says.

Cheryl claims a simple trip to renew her license at the DMV had turned into a lot of back and forth.

“We have now made three trips back to the house to get documents and stuff,” she said.

What documents do you need for Real ID in Texas

The TikToker then revealed the documents she had to bring to have her Real ID approved.

“You are required to bring your driver’s license, a social security card,” she continued.

“You’re supposed to have your marriage certificate which they said I didn’t have to have but online, it says you do.”

There was more:

“And you’re also required to have your birth certificate but it has to have a seal on it. Just make sure you have that birth certificate with a seal. So, you also have to have your vehicle registration and insurance.”

“So, there’s the information. I hope it helps someone and keeps you from having to go back to your house three times,” Cheryl concluded.

The Daily Dot reached out to Cheryl via TikTok comment and direct message as well as the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.

Cheryl was unaware of Real IDs

In a follow-up video, Cheryl elaborated on her situation.

“We don’t have a star on our license yet and so apparently, I looked it up and this is called ‘Real ID,’” she said.

But, she goes on to say, since she hadn’t updated her driver’s license since 2018, she was unaware of the changes.

“When I first got my driver’s license, we showed all that but it’s not all in the system,” she shared.

Subsequently, the content creator had to retrieve the original document from home due to the new requirements.

Viewers were able to avoid this

Cheryl’s video received over 74,000 views, and commenters shared their own experinces of renewing their licenses.

Many explained the way a person can tell if their license is already a Real ID.

“I had that star since like 8 or 9 years ago which it made much easier,” one viewer wrote.

“If you don’t have the star you need a ton of documentation. If you already have the star it’s easy,” another echoed.@theycallme.cheryl Texas driver’s license renewal requirements #documents #licenserenewal #license #dmv #texasdmv #psa #listenup ♬ original sound – This is Cheryl

However, those without the star said they had to endure even more rigorous requirements than Cheryl.

“Also MULTIPLE bills/rental agreements/etc to prove where you live. I basically brought a whole binder of paperwork. My husband got his several months before me, so I was prepared at least,” one user revealed.

“My daughters 1st time ID, she had to have a current address on two different bank accounts?! plus the mentioned BC, SS card etc..lived w/us so no utilities,” a second commented.

“It’s insane in Georgia. I got remarried and they wanted my marriage certificate from my FIRST marriage. I told them I burned that,” a third remarked.

Real ID law origin

In 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act after 9/11 as an extra measure of security.

Immediately, some states resisted the bill, arguing that it would risk “the security of citizens’ personal information.”

Due to these issues, many states continue to oppose the use of the new document, and it has not gone into full effect.

According to the DHS, by May 7, 2025, every resident must have a Real ID to travel domestically, and to enter government buildings and military bases.

Legal Ways to Avoid Traffic Fines in India

With increasing traffic violations and stricter regulations, navigating Indian roads has become more challenging for drivers and riders alike. Staying informed about traffic rules and leveraging new digital solutions can help you avoid hefty fines. This article explores practical, legal ways to avoid traffic fines, with a focus on recent technological advancements in Gurgaon and Mumbai.

Understanding Common Traffic Violations

In India, traffic violations are regulated under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the New Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 https://morth.nic.in/sites/default/files/notifications_document/MV%20Act%20English.pdf . Common offenses include speeding, driving without valid documents, and running red lights. Recent amendments have made the penalties for these offenses much stricter.

Here’s a look at some key offenses and their updated fines, as per the latest regulations:

1. Speeding: The fine for over-speeding is ₹2,000 for two-wheelers and up to ₹4,000 for four-wheelers. In some cases, license suspension is also a consequence for repeated offenses. To know more, click https://morth.nic.in/

2. Helmet and Seatbelt Violations: The penalty for not wearing a helmet has been increased to ₹1,000, and violators could face license suspension. Not wearing a seatbelt now attracts a ₹1,000 fine, up from the previous ₹500.

3. Signal Jumping: Fines for jumping a red light can go up to ₹5,000, with repeat offenders facing harsher punishments such as license suspension.

4. Mobile Phone Usage: Using a mobile phone while driving carries a fine of ₹5,000 for the first offense, which can escalate to ₹10,000 for subsequent violations.

Stay Updated with Local Traffic Regulations

Traffic rules and enforcement measures may differ slightly across cities and states, but the rise of digital platforms is making it easier for citizens across India to manage and avoid traffic fines. Various apps and online portals are available that help drivers and riders keep track of pending challans, pay fines, and even contest unjust penalties without the hassle of visiting traffic departments in person.

For example, government apps like Parivahan https://parivahan.gov.in/parivahan/ and Digilocker https://www.digilocker.gov.in/ allow users to store vehicle documents digitally and check the status of their traffic challans. Many state-specific websites also offer portals to view and settle challans online. These digital solutions are designed to streamline the process of handling traffic violations, making it convenient for everyone to stay compliant with the law.

This technological shift ensures that drivers and riders across India can easily manage their legal responsibilities while on the road, reducing the chances of facing unexpected fines.

Maintain Your Vehicle Regularly

Regular vehicle maintenance is a simple yet effective way to avoid traffic fines. Problems like faulty lights, worn-out tires, or expired Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates can lead to fines and even vehicle impoundment.

- Keep Your PUC Certificate Updated: A valid PUC certificate is mandatory, and failure to renew it could result in fines of up to ₹10,000.

- Check Your Documents: Always have your driving license, registration certificate, insurance, and PUC certificate with you. You can store these documents digitally in apps like Digilocker or mParivahan.

Use Technology to Stay Informed

Technology is making it easier for drivers and riders to avoid traffic violations. Mobile apps provide real-time updates on road conditions, speed limits, and traffic jams, allowing you to plan your routes more effectively.

In Gurgaon, there are many Traffic Challan Apps that offer drivers real-time updates on pending fines and traffic violations. The app’s features include instant challan payment and the ability to challenge unjust fines. Similarly, in Mumbai there are many Accident Assistance Apps that offer on-the-spot legal support for drivers involved in accidents, helping them manage the aftermath without stress.

Adhere to Helmet and Seatbelt Laws

Despite various campaigns, many still neglect basic safety rules like wearing helmets and seatbelts. These are legal requirements, and failing to comply can result in heavy fines.

For two-wheeler riders, helmets are compulsory, and not wearing one can attract a fine of ₹1,000. With services and apps now catering to both car drivers and bike riders, following helmet laws has become even more important, especially with the introduction of platforms that provide on-road legal assistance to motorcyclists.

Follow Speed Limits and Traffic Signals

Speeding is one of the most common causes of traffic fines and accidents. Modern apps with real-time traffic updates can alert you to speed limits and signal timings, helping you avoid unintended violations.

In Gurgaon and Mumbai, speed limits are monitored using speed cameras and radar technology. If you frequently drive through these cities, apps that provide real-time traffic updates can help you avoid fines by alerting you about speed restrictions and traffic signals.

Address Traffic Challans Promptly

Ignoring a traffic challan can lead to serious legal consequences, including additional fines and potential court summons. Modern traffic apps in cities like Gurgaon allow you to handle challans efficiently, either by paying fines online or contesting them if you believe the penalty is unjust.

Traffic Challan App enables users to dispute fines directly through the platform, eliminating the need for in-person visits to traffic courts. This is a faster, more convenient way to deal with legal matters related to traffic violations.

Use On-Road Legal Assistance for Emergencies

Unexpected legal challenges on the road—such as accidents or unjust challan—can be handled smoothly with the help of digital on-road legal assistance services. These services, now available for both cars and bikes, provide quick access to legal advice when you need it the most.

Recently expanded services now include support for two-wheeler riders, ensuring that both bikers and car drivers can contest traffic challans, deal with accidents, or receive legal assistance on the spot. This kind of immediate help can make a big difference, especially in high-pressure situations.

Conclusion

As traffic laws become stricter and fines increase, staying compliant with the rules is crucial. By using technology to track fines, maintaining your vehicle, and adhering to safety regulations, you can avoid unnecessary penalties. Whether you’re driving a car or riding a bike, being proactive and informed can ensure a smoother and safer experience on Indian roads. Embrace the digital solutions available in cities like Gurgaon and Mumbai, and you’ll find that avoiding traffic fines has never been easier. Stay safe, follow the law, and enjoy a hassle-free journey.
