Smoking while driving on Delhi roads may now burn a hole in your pocket.

The Delhi High Court has ruled that those caught smoking behind the wheel will be fined Rs 500.

The court's directive is being seen as an attempt to stem the staggering amount of deaths resulting from road accidents in the national capital.

Additionally, the court has also issued banned using mobile phones while driving. If an offender is caught more than five times, his/her license will be revoked, the court said.
