Was using earphones

Reported on November 29, 2013 from Bharatpur , Rajasthan  ι Report #38154

A traffic police person stopped me because I was wearing earphones while riding bike. I was wearing helmet, had valid papers, license but he just told me that wearing earphones is a violation and I will be fined. I tried explaining him that I was using earphones to in fact keep safety and not use mobile while driving to take calls. With that said, I do understand it wasn't the safest thing but I am not sure if there is a law against it.

I had an exam that day and had to reach there in next 30 mins. So that day I paid my first bribe to 'save-time' and 'solve-things'
