  • We were on the way to nandi hills ... I was also caught on the air port road ... was doing 120 when i noticed the "mamu sumo" parked at the left hand side of road ... and the funny thing .. my pilot lamps were on ... silly me ... anyways i reduced my speed down to the sane limits .. well below 60 Kmph ... but still the cops stopped me and i said i know i was overspeeding but the bikes along with me were also way beyond 70 ... why no stopping those guys ... for that he said .... our camera could not capture them ... (told ya ... my silly mistake .. pilot lamps ) ...
    for that i just went to the interceptor asked them to show me my pic ..... i was shocked to see him registering me at 80 kMph ..something was just not right in the image captured ... there was a white scorpio in the background ... guess his gun captured the scorpio's speed not mine ....... bloody guy ....... and then what I called up my fellow riders to check out my picutre .. that cop also enjoyed the enthu of our group ... he was all smiles ...
    anyways I paid the fine and i was lighter by 300 rs ...
    after everything ....... i realised my bike is having Mumbai registration and what the heck i am doing with cops without the NOC and other papers ... we scurried off from that spot before any of the mamu could point out my reg. number ...
    or they were not in mood to trouble us more ...
    Tips to avoid getting caught by an interceptor:
    1. Get behind a vehicle to cover urself from getting recorded in the camera.
    2. if cops stop u even when u r driving in the limits always do check the recorded image . The speed gun must have recorded the speed of the vehicle in the background ..
    3. Slow down as soon as possible whenever u see an iterceptor ....... as low as 45 Kmph .. Cause on that day two cops had mentioned two different limits for two wheelers ... one said 40-45 another said 50-60...

      Damn !! had to pay 100 bucks.. damn cops and their stupid blackberrys..
      (i had half a mind to punch that cop and throw his blackberry away )

        How can you blame the cop/BB when you have done the mistake?
        Aint a divider supposed to "divide" a road into two parts, where-in each one has to follow "simple" road manners?

          hmmm.. ya, but i used to do it all the time at that particular signal and it wasnt just me, everyone used to go on the other side too..

              Actually i do it coz its faster, more time to sleep when i reach home

              But ya i got the idea by watching others..

              But now i've made up my mind, no more playing "good boy" on the road..
              If i see a signal without a cop and camera (and less trffic obviously), i'm gonna jump for sure..

                    I understand it dude... i'm not that dumb also

                    I'm just pissed off coz some guys near my house get away with no number plates, no helmets, modified silencers and even from interceptors while overspeeding etc etc and i break one SMALL rule and get caught..

Suddenly i saw a police interceptor jeep. I was pissed of by seeing them & had started to hav prayers because i had remembered that i had forgot my license in my home & as i hav told earlier that the RC is with the showroom people. But luckily the police didnt stopped me or any other person.

                        Now i dont know why they didnt stopped me
                        I think they didnt stopped me bcoz almost every person was speeding at the speed i was. Even when i had saw them i had reduced my speed to arnd 40-50 km/h


                        anyway i would say that my luck was gud at that time
                        You were too lucky, or the interceptor wasn't working!!

                        Hey! Its not fair on your part to break rules, as someone might end up getting severely hurt (or worse) due to your actions.
                        Please don't go by herd mentality. Signals and rules are for your safety, and not coz the cops want you to sleep less.
                        xBhp doesn't in anyway promote breaking of rules. Please refrain from breaking rules, or atleast don't post here that you would break rules.

                        Please post if you have been pulled up for no fault of yours, and not coz you were fined for an offence you admit you have committed.

                        And lastly, please don't follow traffic rules simply because someone is watching and there could be financial implications. Follow rules, so that you and other road users are safe.

                        I will leave you with a punchline from the Bangalore Traffic Police, that seems apt for you:
                        MAKE A DIFFERENCE, FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.

                        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                          Point noted..
                          I'll try my best to avoid breaking rules in the future

                            • From last 1 yr whenever I come home early from office in old air port road, these guys ready to welcome with their gadgets.

                              Most of the time I hide behind four wheelers or just stop near command hospital road as if to check my bag.

                              I heard in BIAL road they are planing to fit camera which will catch all speeding vehicles and later they ll send notice to direct to your home. They says its not safe for them to stop speeding vehicles and later facing unnecessary arguments with commuters. If its really true, all my tricks will be wasted .
                              I do blog.

                                Dude, I too stay near the Command Hospital Road ! Artillery Road if you have heard, those cops just pounce on the commuters and once when they stopped a passer bye he fell down and had an injury ! I get to see a lot of these people and I dont think in any country they stop commuters this way were it is a risk factor for both the cop and the commuter !
