- Paid INR 200
I was caught by one of two really young traffic constables manning the maldhakka junction; I was talking on my cell phone on the side of the road with my scooter engine still running. He threatened me with Rs600 as legal fines and possible revoking of my drivers license as the offical consequences. My crime was talking on the cell phone while driving. Not aware of my rights and how much compounding charges are legally payable for minor traffic violations (Rs.50) I was taken for a ride by these two cops. I feel so stupid to have coughed up Rs.200.
I vowed I will never pay a bribe, and also make myself and others aware of their legal rights in such situations.
