I have to say this, but we, as members of a community whose primary motive is to promote safe motorcycling in this country, should set an example for the average joe rider. This is the least we could do for the love all of us here share, "Motorcycling"

    Again, this is just my personal opinion. no offence.
    +1 on that. I am personally a bit shocked that how can someone be proud of doing 120 in the city.

    LOL! I too used to rip there sometimes .. That flyover was a totally unnecessary thing.. its a pretty deserted intersection most of the times... wonder why they spent 3-4 yrs building that flyover to "ease up traffic" there when there was virtually no traffic..

If by chance some cop catches u 50 or 100 bucks is what it takes to make him shut his mouth.
    I had plans of settling in Bangalore after i get a job. But looks like coz of such cops i have to think again. Hyderabad seems better to me.

    ya...its fun to break the rules until you break a few bones

    get your speeds down bro.......its took risky esp the route to your collage....i always have bad feeling abt tht route!


    BTW the min i've paid is 10rs and max is 50rs. all for PUC and insurance and once for crossing the white line. Mind you....these are not fines

    There's another place I have frequently noticed the interceptor.. The stretch from corporation circle to Kasturba road.. the road which runs alongside Kanteerava stadium with Cubbon park on the other side.. This stretch is where many people are caught.. good stretch for ripping I must say .. first time I saw them I was almost caught.. fortunately I noticed the intereceptor from far away and kept my p220 under 40 as soon as I entered the stretch.. Watch out for this place on all weekdays in the daytime.. I usually dont see them in the evenings after 3-4pm..

    Irr

    the speed limit on the IRR ( inner or intermediate ) is 60kmph
    ( from ejipura signal to domlur). does that mean , the speed limit for bikes is 40kmph ?

    interstingly, i have not found a speed limit board in the opposite
    direction .

    Bangalore cops always seem to run ahead of the crowd!!

    The RD350 cop bikes in mid/late 80s. Way back then itself they were using breath-analyzers for drunken driving & doppler radar for overspeeding (I was fined once in Rajajinagar for overspeeding with that crappy equipment with no photos etc, but those days if you go to court to challenge it, the fines would increase).

    BTW, the latest radars can all shoot at night with flashlight as well as I understand that they can record your speed from a distance as far as 1.5 to 2kms away during the day.

    3. they cant identify who was speeding with bunch of vehicle during night with just headlights on
    I think your points make sense..
    I've heard that the interceptors on NH7 are stationed as soon as daylight breaks in.. Too much hard work for the cops..

    Now thats insane! I'm sure this is illegal.. If someone doesn't stopped when flagged to do so, the cops can send across fine notice to the offender (based on address registered with RTO).. If the offender fails to pay up, it goes forward to the courts it seems..
    Its insane to use these means to stop people, as it might prove fatal on highways, & at high speeds..
    I wonder when Bangalore cops will get some brains, they seem to think no end to themselves..

    Once I was stopped at the same spot near Yelahanka signal (i think there was some kind of bridge there, a small one). The cops stopped to check the DL and bike papers. While I was showin my papers, 2 other cops were stopping other passers. An overspeeding guy tried to change to the next lane and throttle his way out, but one of the cops swung his assault weapon (a 5 foot long PVC pipe) and gave a whack on his back and laughing their way out uttering some bad words I guess.

    Does the speed gun on the interceptors work only in broad daylight? I'm yet to see an interceptor (at the regular spots that they are stationed at) in action when its naturally dark?
