    I was surprised that the police take these kind of initiatives for passing a message to the public.
    yeah saw that couple of days back in front of Holy Trinity church @ the beginning of MG road.

    That really was a good initiative. more of a reminder.

      One near Mysore Road, One at Domlur and One at HAL Junction. Just be careful, saw them twice at the same locations today!!
      I thought the police cannot stop anyone now for anything other than traffic violations??

          they have written orders from the police commissioner, i doubt they would want to invite the wrath of the general public since the order has been presented to us by the media and published in the papers.

            What I do is keep a copy of that article. Both in english and in Kannada. So that I can show them whenever there is an incident like that.

            i was really pissed by his comments..

            Don't be dude. It's the usual thing by the cops...they say the same thing to everyone...

              I'd rather figure out how I can get that crashed verna's engine (CRDI) . These cops never change.

                Lol,even i got caught doing 65 or so(on Honda Dios),i was going at the same speed for god knows how long(was conserving fuel as i was going to Nandi Hills),they catch me and my friend(both had white helmets and shirts) and told us we were drag racing.Then we told him that people dont do drag races on dios to which he said that we were overspeeding,i pointed out the 80 board in front of him and he said "bikes gay yaar 80 limit kodtare saar,bikes gay 60 ashtey" (who gives a limit of 80 to bikes,for bikes its only 60).
                Then he started asking me where i stay and where i study and all sorts of stuff,he told me to study well and gave me 'gyaan' and all that....and then took some money and let me go,didnt go to nandi that day.

                Lol,they caught a black swift doing 110 or so,guy starts arguing saying he was doing 95(thinking 100 is the limit).Poor guy saw the sign too late.

                  So many stories. Seems we were lucky to get not caught on the airport highway. Last month we visited Banglore and we did no less than 120 on this stretch. Of course, we were in car.

                  The cases of these corrupted cops are less in Hyderabad than Banglore. Two months back I was caught at a signal for not having front number plate (broke in crash). Unfortunately, I was not having PUC in my hand too (forgot in tankbag). Argued with him and when it was getting heated up, the constable got a phone call from higher authorities and I neatly escaped from there.

                    i was a victim of interceptor on orr on 8th...i was happily doing 100kph which is above the speed limit defly but was going to my last exam and was late too...
                    usually interceptors stand in a differnt location as soon as i crossed that place i was on full throttle but these guys shifted there location in front and me even after hard braking didnt help..they stopped me and i was like very angry and started shouting that i am going to exam one cop tried to take my key for which i shouted at him and i took my bikes key...

                    he asked me to show my dl and hall ticket which i showed and in the meanwhile i found that he was speaking in telugu..immediately i started speaking in telugu, then he was speaking politely and asking abt few personal things...then he asked me to pay watever i have,then i gave him 60/- to to make him believe this is wat i have..he returned back 10rs and told best of luck...

                    i was always waiting to be caught by interceptors because there is no speed limit board and wanted to make it a issue and i know how to getaway without paying fine..but was in a hurry to exams so couldnt do anything but had to pay 50/-..

                      Got caught first time in Blore on Sarjahpura road.. from Marthahalli...on 9th...I was with a pillion and was doing around 90+ but slowed down from about 500 metres back when i saw them but one police came walking in the middle lane to stop the bike, had no change other than 100/-, thats what i gave and moved. This issue seems a big one, how can one stay at 60 in empty roads? The thought of having the machine and not being able to push is bewildering!

                        Thanks to the interceptors, the only way to do that in Bangalore seems to be to ride a cycle or a LUNA..

                        @All: Its great that we are all sharing our not so good experiences with cops & interceptors here..
                        However, I think we can put this thread to better use by updating the locations where we spot interceptors, so that we can all be mindful of our speeds (rather than end up getting challaned or bribe the cops) atleast whenever riding on those stretches..

                              I went to buy a book and while crossing
                              sevoke more
                              a police came from no where
                              in fron to my bike and
                              signalled me to stopped
                              initially i was going to stop
                              then readily calculated how much i would have to pay him as bribe
                              then
                              when i was 2 mtr away from him then
                              i opened the throttle
                              and after watching that I opened the throttle
                              he understood that I am maniac'
                              I was willingly going towards him
                              he jumped backwards i think 2 mtr behind and
                              another police man
                              Only showed me his hand
                              he didnt dared to come in frotnt of me
                              man o man i was so scared
                              ran away from there
                              and went to sir tuition directly
                              and i was sweating like hell
                              sir said that dont take tension nothing will happen!

                                Hehe.. Actually some of us can surely consider taking up the profession.. & in B'lore , its pretty rewarding too.. Considering the number of us who still committ these traffic offences, & end up paying bribes..

                                Back to the topic:
                                I have spotted interceptors regulary at:
                                1. NH7- Between Yelahanka signal & the Airport (1 interceptor on each side of the 3+3 lane road). I know its a really long stretch, but I guess these losers can be expected to be found anywhere on this stretch.
                                2. Old Airpot Road- Between Command Hospital (coming from Trinity Circle) & the next junction (Haiku Honda/Sony World). The interceptor usually comes in only post noon, ready to nab speeding vehicles till dusk.

                                Also, as much as I have noticed, the interceptors are located on long straights only. So pls be careful when entering long-straights on empty & wide roads..
