Explanation:

The word, “police” stands for more than one police person and the word “police” is a "plural word". Hence, the word police takes the "plural verb", “have.” The base form of the verb is "have" and is an auxiliary verb. If we use the word, “police” in singular then it has to be like, “policeman/policewoman/police officer” etc. And when we use "have with a "verb" it becomes the present perfect tense. This tense denotes that an action was completed at some point in the "past/that the action extends" to the present. In the above case the (the city police...................drivers) "is an action that the police decided at some point and this decision would continue in the present".
The "infinitive" is the "base form" of a verb with "to'. Hence when we use "to" before a verb, it must be only in its "baseform" Usually it functions as a noun, though it function as an adjective/adverb. Hence the base form verb of"taking" is "take". Whereas "Taking" is the present participle/gerund of "take". A present participle is a word that ends "-ing," . It can be only with the "auxiliary verb" 'to be' verb.
"Who" & "which" are pronouns. However, "Who" is usually used to refer to "human beings", whereas "which" is used to refer to animals, insects, plants, objects, etc in general. In the above we refer to "drivers" living human being, hence we must use "who"
We use the preposition "From" instead of the preposition "in" since "from" expresses something which originates from something else, that something comes from somewhere, or some person, like in the above (overtake from the "left side" means originating/comes from somewhere...the left side)
We use the preposition "on" since "on" is used to indicate or express a surface of something, example, on the kitchen table, on my desk. Hence, un the above case we are referring to "road" which is a surface, and must use the preposition "on", that is "on city roads". The preposition "in" is used to denote a location or place:
We say 'drivers" , since when we write a sentence there must be a subject-verb agreement. Henec with a plural verb "violate" we must use the plural subject which is "drivers"
We use "punished" and not the base form of verb "punish". We use "punished" which is the "past participle" & it is used to create the present & past perfect tense ( that is first offence.....will... (past).... "punished"). Cancellation is the action of cancelling something. "cancelling" is present participle cancelling, whereas "cancellation" is used for "future" action. Here, in the above, the "second offence........incur cancellation....".
