1.Without helmet, 2.Lane Discipline 3.Overspeeding

Reported on December 15, 2010 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #29157

Today while returning from EC phase 1 above the BETL flyover, i started driving in one lane constantl with a speed of 61 km/hr. When i reached the lay bye area the traffic cop stopped me. He stopped me and kept on talking on phone. I could have just carried on but i stopped because i thought i had done no wrong. When i went to him his first question was where is your helmet? When i told Sikhs don't need helmet, he was like Ok, you were not following lane discipline and you were overspeeding. I asked him i was constantly on same lane and never crossed 61 km/hr. He was like speed limit is 60 for 2 wheelers. No where on the complete flyover it was written as 60, everywhere its mentiones as 80 km/hr. Then he said either give Rs. 600 fine or you can give me Rs 200 to me.I had just 70 with me, i had ask my friend who was with me for another 100. He was not ready to take it. Last I handed him my walet over and asked him to take whatever is there, then he agreed with Rs 170.

I wanted to pay him 200 if he would have just allowed me to slap him hard.
