Provisions of fines and penalties for violators of road use policies and laws according to Road Transport Act 2018 in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is an overpopulated country on the world map. A large part of this country is covered by roads. A lot of budget and investment is made for the development of our country's road system, but still, there are accidents. Basically, many unwanted road accidents happen every year due to not obeying the right road rules. If the rules of road use are followed, the driver, passengers and pedestrians will all return home safely. This demand of all of us for strict laws to ensure road safety and restore order on the roads is not new today. To make this great expectation of the nation a reality, the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority has created a law; Road usage rules and laws. It clearly mentions the provision of fines and penalties for those who violate road usage laws. In the discussion section, Pathway Driving Training School has given a special description of it.
1) A fine of Tk 10,000 or imprisonment of three months for blowing the horn loudly.
2) Fine of 25 thousand Taka or 6 months imprisonment for driving without driving license.
3) Violation of traffic signs and signals 10 thousand rupees fine or 1 choice.
4) If the driver does not fasten the seatbelt or talks on the phone while moving, a fine of Tk 5,000.
5) 10 thousand rupees fine if helmet is not used.
6) Driving without fitness will result in a fine of 25 or 6 thousand taka.
7) Driving an unregistered vehicle will result in a fine of Tk 50,000 or 6 months imprisonment. 
8) A fine of Tk 5,000 if passengers or goods are boarded or unloaded without stopping.
9) Fine of Rs.5,00,000/- or imprisonment for 5 years in case of serious injury or loss of life in the accident. Death penalty under Section 302 of the Penal Code if a person is killed in an intentional accident.
10) Collecting excess fare without a fare list or chart shall be punishable with a fine of Tk 10,000/- or 1-month imprisonment or both and 1 point will be deducted from the driver's fault.
11) Overloading or carrying extra passengers shall be fined Rs.10,000/- or 1-year imprisonment.
Also, the revised Road Use Policy Act has other minor and major road use rules and also provides for monetary fines or penalties in those cases.
