Hi guys !
After reading these posts i thnk i shud tak some serious preventive measures as im from delhi n d bike is also registred for d same. I am riding my bike for d past 2 weeks without thinkin about d traffic rules here.

Can someone please tell what paper work has to be done for riding a non-karnataka bike in bangalore or sugest some reliable source to get this info.

Well apart from the speed limit you need to be in the middle lane if travelling on a 2 wheeler. You can be even challaned if traveling in rightmost lane!


On airport road there are signs for speed limits as 30-60-80.

And below 60 a 2 wheeler has been drawn though very small!!!


2 more locations for the interceptors

1. Hosur Road after Volkswagon shwroom while coming from EC.
2. On the indiranagar road.

So be careful guys.

Same here man. There have been lots of incidents on this stretch in the wee hours, and it is better avoided on 2-wheels. The Logan taxis & private cars ride no less insanely after dark.

Damn. That means no more rides on this stretch even early in the morning.

+1 to that. I was meeting a friend after almost 6 yrs and decided to meet him before he boarded his flight at the Intl. airport. Met up with few other of his friends on the way to the airport last sat night. While we had parked on the shoulder I saw at least 15 bikers on RX100's, Honda Dio's and various other bikes ripping like mad. The RX100's were popping wheelie's at almost 80kmph with a pillion on the back and none with a helmet. To top it all there was an truck with no cargo or load and it was also racing with these bikers changing lanes and driving all over the road, pushing other vehicles to the side and muscling its way forward. In a span of 20 mins i saw at least 3-4 groups of at least 5-6 riders who were riding like maniac's, performing stunts at high speed, with a pillion rider and with no lid's on and that too on a busy road. This road IS busy at night considering so many Intl. flights take off or land in blore.

Further ahead i saw one group who stopped as there were cops waiting for them and they just turned around and started riding in the wrong lane of the main road (not the service road). The frustrated cops were throwing their lathi's across the lanes of traffic to hit these bikers on the other side. All this was at 1am. I'm definitely not going that side of town so late henceforth. Thats a disaster waiting to happen. Is it so difficult to catch these morons? Why cant the cops deploy the interceptor at night, chase these buggers and arrest them? Innocent lives are at very high risk.

Yeah !!! I too have seen a likening ( or disliking ) of Bangalore cops for two wheelers.
I regularly use the Marathalli Ring Road to Electronics City from KRPuram & on the left curve towards KRPuram from beside the flyover, on afternoons & particularly in weekends, these guys are always present with their vans. Rarely have I seen them not stopping some-one on 2 wheels ahead of me !!

But so-far I have been lucky with my Bull. Guess those guys don't enjoy messing with the Iron Lady !!

Big boss is looking at u!! At lease here u need nt to argue or deal with corrupt or arrogant officers!

Camera catches 700 speeders in 10 days in Bangalore - dnaindia.com

INFO:Be careful on new airport road

People going for night rides on the new airport road, please be extremely careful.
My friend had been on a group ride to Nandi hills. Next morning, I hear that they have landed up in jail. My friend insists that none of them have committed any offence. He said that they were caught at 2:30 am in the morning and were allowed to go next morning only after verfication of their personal details.
It seems because of the increased instances of drag racing on this stretch, police have beefed up the security. Previously, there had been an incident in which a cop had been killed when he was trying to stop a drag racer, this has led to the cops them being pretty ruthless on bikers.
I am not sure of the authenticity of the last piece of info, but better be safe than sorry.
Cheers!

Buddy its not like that!!
I've been there on that stretch doing 65 on speedo and was not stopped by any interceptor cop at all!!!


And yes these interceptors can record the speed for a 2 wheeler as well. My friend was caught and his speed was tracked to 97!!

On Bangalore Airport road the speed for 2 wheelers is 60.

Now one can find interceptor on the hosur road as well near the volkswagon showroom. Here the speed limit for 2 wheelers is again 60 and they give a lineancy of 5-7kmph. So ride carefully!!!


But they do make hell lotta money on weekends with the so called alcohol tests!!
I was once tested positive for alcohol with their preliminery test that too when i was not drunk at all!!!
I had my exam next day so was getting notes from a friend (Sat night)!!

Such is the plight

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 !

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 .

Seriously, they don't understand any other language !

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

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.

^^^ Thats how it is, dude.... Some people get away with things some people dont... So, its better not to be in a situation where one has to look to get way with something

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..
