Carmudi, Sri Lanka, backed by ecommerce conglomerate Rocket Internet, is the world’s fastest growing online car classifieds (www.carmudi.lk), and is set to make marked headway to become the leading vehicle marketplace in Sri Lanka.
The company shares some of the commonest driving violations drivers and riders commit and fines imposed across 18 countries worldwide on a day-to-day basis.
Carmudi, founded in October 2013, currently operates in Bangladesh, Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, and is the vehicle marketplace that offers buyers, sellers and car dealers the ideal platform to find cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles, online.
Driving can be a thrill but if you have too much fun on the road,you must also be prepared to pay big or even see the insides of a prison cell. Carmudihas compared traffic violations in different countries in terms of their penalties – and the divergence could not be more extreme. Even driving in a familiar environment can get you into trouble if you don’t pay attention to the regulations stipulated by the relevant authorities.
Those who are regular travellers and drive when they are overseas should keep in mind that a fine can be disproportionately higher. A ridiculously low fine of $ 3 for talking on the phone in Bangladesh is quite in contrast to the fine of $ 668 in Ghana for the same offence.
The roadmap from Carmudi takes you through 18 different countries and trails that can cost contrasting driving penalties for the same offences.
