The cars dont seem to be too scared of them, I was tailing a Swift doing about 130.

I remember you mentioning you wanted a documented proof of your bike's top-speed.

In the 8-10 times that I have done this stretch on my bike, I have seen an interceptor just once!!

The interceptors do stop the cars as well, but stopping 2 wheelers is more rampant due to:
1. Ease of stopping a 2 wheeler (read, low danger of injury/ losing life).
2. Lower speed limit of 2-wheelers.
3. Easy & soft targets.

If they usher a vehicle to stop, & it doesn't, either the message is conveyed over wireless, or a speeding challan is sent over to the vehicles reistered address.

I really wanted to test the speed of my speedometer and that of the SpeedGUN!!! Shit! Missed the chance.
Didn't find a single...A SINGLE Interceptor on the Mysore-Bangalore Road unlike what Tibby had earlier told us. Faltu mai armaan jagaa diye!!!!

EDIT: Seems like the lane wise speed limits of 40-60-80 for lanes 1-2-3 (from left) is back. Saw fresh markings of these speeds in the lanes opposite Esteem Mall about a fortnight ago.

So does that mean that even two wheelers can go onto high speeds (80kmph) in the 3rd lane??. Ialways wanted a such kind of rule. Those people who drive slowly & value their lives can go slowly in the slow lane & those who drive fast can go in the fast lane. Accidents can be reduced by this .Sorry for my late reply since i havent read this thread from a long time.

You guys should have let us know earlier what your intentions were.
We would have given the traffic police some khufiya khabar that a group of over-speeding badass bikers is coming to Bangalore via Mysore Road. They would have been more than happy to station themselves there for a guaranteed INR 1,500 (INR 300 each for the 5 of you), & the opportunity to give you guys some safe riding gyaan (this one's for free; the wisdom types).

No! The vehicle class-wise speed limits should still hold good IMO. What this would mean is that 2-wheelers aren't allowed on the rightmost lane (except for overtaking maybe).

Interceptor sighted regularly on Outer Ring Road, Marathalli. Bang outside Ivy-the unwind island, & Opposite Prestige Tech Park (JP Morgan).

The Interceptor is stationed here during non-peak hours, typically between 11am & 5pm.

Yup, I've been pulled over there once.

I was doing 170 in my dad's mondeo, they didn't pull me over

. but sent a notice home

Pretty scary for me as I been seeing this one for sometime now...It stand's just opposite to my office (JPMC) and that both my car and my bike is WB registration. I might be pulled over for different reason altogether.

Heights of bad luck for others & good luck for you. The speed limit was 60kmph i guess.

Anybody riding to Nagawara tank from Hebbal side be careful. I've been seeing speed interceptors there for past couple of weekends now. The target is as usual bikers.

There were boards on the left with 80 marked on it...and I maintained 65 Kmph.

.In Chennai on the ECR the speed allowed is 80 Kmph..but near the small villages on the way there will be restriction boards with 40 written on it.The cops will invariably be lurking in the turn into the area and speeding cars will get caught. Since I am used to sighting them regularly,and having knowledge of it from Fellow XBHPians ..I was able to avoid them in Bangalore.

Saw it a long ago. A few months ago to be precise. It was on a sunday.

I was stopped on the Airport road somewhere past Hebbal. Same deal. I was doing 70, under the impression that the limit was 80. The cop stepped out right in the middle of the road from behind a lorry he had stopped. He just stuck his hand out. I was going too fast to just slam on the brakes so I just wove past him and then slowed down for the next cop down the road.

He told me the same thing. That the limit was 60. Was very decent though and he appreciated the fact that I was polite. So, he fined me 100 instead of the usual 300 and gave me a printout too. Very decent chappie.

I told him the same story about how i saw no boards with the speed limit as 60 for bikes. Funnily enough, 200m down the road was a little board with the speed limits.

So I did a u-turn and told them they should make them more prominent.

Nice cops though. Pleasant change all said and done.
