Independence Day Traffic Check Post
- Police
- Traffic Violations
- Paid INR 300
The officer asks me for my drivers license, which had gone for renewal at the time. Terrified, as I never had been pulled over, I told him the situation, showed him the photocopy I had been told I could carry. He threatens to take me to the "thana" (police station). I try the reverse tactic "I know people and you will be in trouble for messing with me". Its time for the constable to be scared. I ask him why he is doing it on a day like Independence Day? He says, its to feed his family...I simply took out 2 hundred rupee notes. He asked for a third. I was 300 rupees poorer, but wiser...
