Well you may ride hard but not rash however people out there don't easily understand the difference between hard and rash riding. For them all are the same!! When caught at some place with wrong timing try explaining the difference to them then you will probably realize what i meant.!

Well it's not about paying 100/200/300 rs but its about the rules that have been set without actually coming out and checking the places whether they are appropriate for them or not!!

If you have time you can go fight in the court. Tell them you won't pay and they can issue a challan. Any cop asking for money and not giving you a receipt or a challan is just a crook. Not down his name and call 100 and tell them.

AFAIK the only place with 60 as speed limit is the road to airport. The rest all roads within the city have a max of 50 (for 2 wheelers) and some have even less than that.
But again the point is not what's the limit, the point is that whether the limit that has been imposed is appropriate for the road or not.
I for one dont see any sense with roads like airport road, hosur road having the limit of 60 for 2 wheelers when the big monsters out there wont even spare a thought to follow that limit and impose the threat of their presence on the puny rides (read 2 wheelers).
Or are these limits to prevent the bloody morons who keep their brains (if they have any) in their pockets or back at their home and jump straight on to the road to cross without even giving slightest of trouble to their neck!
I say let them be challaned (Just for the record this was once started in Delhi a year back I guess where pedestrians were challaned for jumping on the roads or crossing the roads at wrong time!).
Regarding the time no comments coz i guess everyone knows the reality. More than time what comes along when you try doing so is a hell lot of hassles and harassment!
Do you think calling 100 will solve the problem? Buddy everyone gets a share from every catch!!!

As far as i remember you were caught for overspeeding and when argued they added rash driving too. It will be difficult to prove in court that you were driving rashly if the speed gun showed you were doing just 62. While the speed limit was 60. Don't let them fool or scare you.

So you think rash driving is meant when you are riding at very high speeds?? You can ride rashly even in the speeds of 40s 62/60 is almost 50% higher than that
Buddy when someone approaches your friend for anything and you have an opinion on that whom will your friend trust more??? [I guess you got my drift!]
