Had to pay 100 Rs in Kothrud, Pune for taking left turn :(
- Police
- Traffic Violations
- Paid INR 100
Hi,
I was driving my Motorcycle on Kothrud, Pune and there was a 3-way junction on which traffic signal which was showing red signal for people who wish to go straight on other road. Since taking left turn is legal in all over India, and there was no explicit traffic signal for left turn, I took the left turn and then suddenly a traffic police personnel came in front of me. It appears that this signal is meant for only for fulfilling pockets of traffic police. When I told them that what is illegal in it if I take left turn, they just told me that there is no signal for left turn instead I should have stopped. The sole red light is meant for both straight going and left turn.
Even worst when I told him to go by legal way and give me a fine receipt with the reason on it, the cop just told me that he will give me a slip and then I will have to go to the traffic police headquarter in Pune for paying it. In the meantime they will tow away my bike so then I will have to go to go to other station to collect it. Common people in India does not know much about government rules and I was no exception I was not knowing whether that cop can legally capture my bike and whether I will have to go to pay fine right then as told by him or I can pay it later. As I was with a girl at that time and I had to go to to another place in time, at last I paid him 100 Rs as bribe. I will always remember this incident and that Kothrud circle which is just meant for getting bribe from innocent *******
