Rash & negligent driving: how to establish under 279

If in evidence, this fact comes that there was no sign board or mark. You can avoid 279,if allegation is based only on breach of indtructions.

Mandatory traffic signs are required and prominently displayed for people to notice and comply with. Absence of such traffic signage is a serious lapse on the part of authorities. You are NOT liable for any traffic violation inbthe instant case.

Allegation is not breach of instructions, it is being claimed by a pedestrian who jumped onto the road from a footpath without checking on road and got brushed by my four wheeler (rear view mirror side) from side to the effect of a leg fracture and is now pressing charges in an FIR. He stepped on road without looking at incoming traffic on a very busy road during peak hours. section 279 is being invoked but i clearly know the pedestrian was negligent not me.Speed was low 30s but I cant prove that, except that if it was high he would have been hurt more than a fracture. People who gathered around said this was one way, when service roads are usually two way and there were no signs sugesting that this was a one way.

Dear Sir

I have gone through query.

you can take the defence that there was no sign board indicating road as one way. But if prosecution produces a notification with regard to a one-way road, your plea shall not sustain.
