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.

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.

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

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.

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

EDIT: Everyone who looks from 'North'.

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.

I dont think thats happening / that will happen. The police will continue to stop us at their own will.. Leaving to Chennai in another hour or so, Hope the police wont stop me again!!

I thought the police cannot stop anyone now for anything other than traffic violations??

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.

Bangalore cops do create some basic awareness amongst people.

Did anyone notice a red crashed Verna , in front of Garuda mall, wearing big nameboards that said "MY DRIVER WAS DRUNK" ? That verna didnt have any A,B nor C pillars. It was scrap. I earlier saw the same verna in the KR Puram police station i guess.

I was surprised that the police take these kind of initiatives for passing a message to the public.

forgot to mention... that guy really did screw me... the reason was that i couldnt talk in kannada. he literally said that people like me from the north have screwed up bangalore and spoilt its image.....( dont want to mention more but that day was really bad)

i was really pissed by his comments..

i never knew, this thread existed. i was thinking of starting this one....

i have faced this interceptor thing once. on the same stretch from bial to blr. the only difference is i was stopped twice!

hmm well actually once. the first time i was stopped for a speeding ticket was when i was doing around 70 on the speedo. as a good gentleman i just stopped as intended by the cop and then the regular blah blah... their claim was again the same as in your case. speed limit is 60kmph for 2 wheelers. what ever, i just ended up paying 200bucks without any chalan. soon after i was horrified when i saw another interceptor near jakkur the reason- i was pissed off and was doing 90 on the speedo!

i just decided that i wont stop this time. and i didnt stop...

but i truly appretiate one thing. these people have gained good experience and skills in stopping 2 wheelers, no matter how fast you are...

i hav travelled on the stretch at a speed of 120 in taxi, 100 in my dad's car, and once easily over 130 in my friends car... its just hazzle free no matter how fast you are. but always remember one thing that over 60kmph on two wheels is RASH DRIVING!!!!!

Stopped by the cops three times today.. twice by Interceptors, and once by a traffic police.. Thankfully, let off all the three times.. Was stopped for riding a TN Registered Bike, let off after verifying the papers..

One near Mysore Road, One at Domlur and One at HAL Junction. Just be careful, saw them twice at the same locations today!!

their for this wud be that they are not getting enough salary like other govt servants like mla s

>> I told the cop that there is no differential speed limit on this stretch, and its only withing Bangalore city limits, to which he said: "This is city limits only". I couldn't see a soul around, except the cops & a dozen bikers & 1 or 2 car-walas. Wonder how he claimed it to be city limits (trafiic-wise).

* dude all the way up to devanahalli along the highway IS city limits.

speaking of which i was returning home (HSR) from hebbal a few weeks ago in my ikon on the ORR. i never saw the speedo but i don't think i was going really fast because of traffic (earlier in the day i had been hitting 120+ speeds) somewhere just near nagawara lake the cop actually had the balls to come into the right lane and stop me. i pulled over and he said that i was overspeeding. i never noticed the interceptor and still hadn't. then i asked him to prove it. he took me to the interceptor and i asked him how much was i doing. he said 70! i told him that 80 was the speed limit but he wasn't budging, he said it's 60 for cars. finally he left me without a challan and i paid him just 100 so i guess i was lucky!

I agree with you. The 4th point works well most of the time.
