Reported on March 3, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #28187

Since I am new in the city, one of my friend suggested 'Main land China' Near Domulur Flyover, as a good place to dine out. on 16 Feb 2011,I was driving from Kormangala with my wife and children towards the restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. I had to take a 'U' turn on(end of the flyover) enterig 100 ft road of ********** Nagar, I observed one car is taking 'U' turn and followed him. suddenly a traffic police man appreed from shadows and stopped both cars. the guys spoken something in kannda loudly and sped off. then police man approached and informed me that 'U' turn is not allowed there and as a consequence, I will have to pay a court fine of Rs.400. I tried to explain in my broken kannada that, I didnot see and signboard and was just following another car. He told me either pay 100 or go to court to pay 400. finally, I decided to pay bribe of Rs 100 and save the birthday celebration. even now I feel like cheated.
