Bribe paid for not having PUC certificate for a 1.5 year old bike
- Transport
- Emission Check Certificate
- Paid INR 200
On 11-08-2015 I was stopped by a Traffic police team on LBS road near Vikhroli station at around 7:00 in the evening. My vehicle (Yamaha FZ-S bike) is less than 2 years old and my PUC expired in June 2015. The traffic hawaldaar showed me a penalty card in which the fine for not carrying PUC was shown as Rs.2000. I tried to argue with him but he tried to break me by saying that you have to come to court and then pay 2000 Rs. I was in hurry and I had to finally give him 200 Rs to settle. This kind of incidents are regular because there is no clarity among the people regarding actual penalties and timelines officially given to produce certain documents if they are missing or not carried by the driver.
