Punjab Traffic Police Reveal Top Violations by Motorcyclists in 2025

Published On: January 22, 2026

Motorcyclists continued to be the largest violators of traffic laws across Punjab in 2025, according to official data released by the Punjab Traffic Police. The statistics highlight the scale of violations and the growing focus of authorities on improving road discipline.

During the year, traffic police issued more than 6 million challans to motorcyclists across the province. Lahore alone accounted for over 2.32 million challans, making it the highest contributor to motorcycle-related traffic violations.

Top Violations Recorded by Traffic Police

A spokesperson for the Punjab Traffic Police revealed that the most common offence was riding a motorcycle without a valid driving license. Authorities issued over 2.16 million challans for this violation alone.

Another major concern remained the non-use of helmets, with traffic police fining more than 1.58 million riders for failing to wear protective headgear. Officials emphasized that helmet violations remain a key factor behind serious road injuries.

Other Major Traffic Offences

Apart from licensing and helmet issues, traffic police also recorded:

Over 314,000 challans for one-way violations
More than 400,000 challans for carrying more than two passengers on motorcycles

These violations significantly contribute to traffic congestion and accident risks, particularly in urban centers.

Motorcycles Dominate Punjab’s Roads

DIG Traffic Punjab Muhammad Waqas Nazir stated that motorcycles make up the largest share of registered vehicles in Punjab, which makes motorcyclists a critical group for enforcing overall traffic discipline.

He added that despite the high number of challans, organized traffic behavior among motorcyclists showed noticeable improvement during 2025.

Improvement in Helmet Use and Road Safety

According to the DIG, helmet usage across Punjab increased by 88 percent during the year. This improvement led to an 82 percent reduction in head injury cases, marking a major achievement in road safety.

Authorities also observed better lane discipline on major roads, indicating that sustained enforcement and awareness campaigns are gradually producing positive results.
