I was talking to the ones who are protesting at Trivandrum, they will ride in with KL reg. Plate not an MH one. And they will feel what I said.

Fantastic work there by catching my typo on 'bought'.

Yes they are super good here, I know. Thats why we see even the educated one have their Reg. plate in local language, don't have RVMs don't use turn signals. and overtakes through left.

I am not talking about the bikers. but the general public.

People in Kerala are protesting for everything. They don't know whats happening in the world. They should learn that because of better enforcement, people their have comparatively better road sense.

Really it's a mean thing from the police side as well as some come out of nowhere in the middle and try to catch a person for not wearing a helmet and if someone tries to go, they try to ride without getting caught, they do these kind of things like jamming a stick in middle of the wheels or trying to catch hold of his hands or clothes and try to drag them out. . . Very bad to see these kind of things in Our Country. . .

That sux. If happens.

News Update:
Its Off-Topic, and is complicated.

Violence was an organised one with anti-social elements behind it.

And Police says in Media that there was no official helmet Inspection that day[Which is little hard to believe too]

what are you saying man .... ??? police needs guidelines, who is merely trying to catch a person, who broke a law.aren't those persons need guidelines who break the law. rethink man, and think with a cool head. i support police 100 % and would even go on to say that they should chase and catch every driver/rider who doesn't follow rules.^^ 100% agree with you man, you spoke my heart out.i am a native of U.P. and currently reside in pune, and i have lived many years in various maharshtra cities, infact i was born in maharashtra. and i feel proud to say that our maharashtra police is lot better than police of lot of other states.no traffic policeman ever jumped in front of my bike to take the key away in pune, but yes it has happened with me in nagpur. at that time i was very angry with him, but now i understant that it is required just to ensure that culprit doesn't run away.you are safe carrying a DL and a PUC only for sometime not all the times, a few days ago, a policeman stopped me at wakad flyover and asked for DL & PUC, i promptly produced both, then he asked RC and Insurance, i had partly torned photocopy of both, he initially said "this is not acceptable" but after politely requesting and when he observed me in riding boots, jacket, gloves, helmet etc, allowed me to go just noting my mobile number, vehicle number and area of residence. and this happens quite often at the same spot.moral of the story is --> they are doing their duty, and if you have done nothing wrong and follow safety precautions and carry all essential documents, they will be lenient on you if you are falling short by one or two documents but have photocopies, but that doesn't mean a DL and PUC is sufficient always. very true apart from safety helmet also protects you from dust, dirt and pollution.man, this is really sad.wow, its a mean thing.....??? man are you supporting those ppl who don't follow traffic rules...??and telling police not to enforce law & order..???frankly speaking i have never seen police doing anything like jamming sticks in a bike's wheels while the bike is moving and the same time i want and demand police to do all it can to catch and punish those who break the law. after all it them who are breaking the law and not police, police is merely doing its duty and that is to catch and punish those who break the law. if they will not do their duty there will be no law and order anywhere and only chaos.at times i myself have indirectly helped police. once a person jumped a signal and when police tried to stop him, he ran away (on bike) ... i chased him and flashed my HID from behind, initially he panicked as he was aware the he is running from police, then when he saw i am just a normal person he felt relieved, but by the time i overtook him and blocked his path, this much time was sufficient for police to catch up on their splendors. i smiled and moved on.damn, a few days ago my helmet was stolen. i want police to perform their duties.

what? u mean we should always carry originals all the time?

i carry DL and PUC originals and carry my insurance papers and even RC card in xerox...those are important stuff and if it goes missing or stolen somehow u need to go through a big headache full of complicated procedures and part with a good amount of cash..

i know this is not going to happen due to a variety of reasons but i think having xerox should be good enough for cops...they should have hand held devices which when keyed in with the proper appropriate DL no. and registration no. they get all details and allow the rider/driver to go...anyways the BMC contractors here in mumbai are asking for android phones with apps that will help them in their work...they could go with similar things with traffic police...build a device or app in a phone which connects with the central server and gets all the details with a photograph so ur documents remain safe...even no. plates should be made with RFID tags so theres no need to carry registration card at all...if u happen to damage the no.plate,carry a xerox so they can counter check it with their "device"

not rethinking, i was already cool.......
well, riding without a helmet is not like breaking law but running away was(and who broke the law!! a cop dancing in front of his bike). he tried to escape but my concern is "why force"?
i have seen the working of police(pune/dehli/chandigarh and the great punjab) very closely, they won't wake up, they will ask for money, they will hunt(helmet hunt/belt hunt/high beam hunt),
and now the guy is helmet-less thief too.
so on a funny node " every helmet-less person is a thief"

simply give these cops guns to shoot at sight, instead of jumping in front of bikes.
cheers

Riding without helmet isn't braking the law? I'm sorry I don't know what you're saying.
Helmet hunt, seatbelt hunt..yeah, you're not supposed to ride/drive without putting them ON. It's their job to catch who breaks the law.

Dont have documents? Stop and pay the fine, what you think they'll do if you try to flee? It won't be blowing kisses and saying ta-ta for sure


Sent from my WT19i

no, i mean to say, DL & PUC in original and attested photocopies of RC, road tax reciept & insurance cert.

can we have a dislike button please

Yes seems that KOLKATA is also way better and Cops really do a good job.
This self realization comes since i have shifted to CHENNAI recently.

The day I landed here I was finding difficult to digest the fact that here people ride without helmets.
As a matter of fact in my 20 days of stay I have rarely noticed people wearing LS2s.
Although I am working in a hi tech IT hub of Chennai DLF.

Please do not get me wrong Chennai Bikers & X-Bhpian Members.

What I wanted to say that in Kolkata you would rarely found a person without a proper helmet.
Not only that Cops catch even pillions and Kids as well going to school with parents in morning.
Also there are intensive checking of Papers as well.

So in India how many proper Cities are there where these basic rules are followed & honored.

But these does not imply that Kolkata Cops are very good and really at times they are hyper.

Well this type of activity happened with me last year when i was coming from a tvs showroom after fitting a new body panel on tvs scooty their was a police checking on a turn road, i was at a greater speed so i wasn't able to see it and after seeing it was slowing down and taking bike aside to stop at that time the police man just threw his stick hardly on me due to which misbalanced the bike and i had fallen near the foothpath bike was heavily damaged and got injured i was just so tempered and took that stick and started hitting the police who has thrown it and called the local inspector to come to the site.
then as he arrived i shown him all the documents and the receipts of the new panel and the other police members who were present with that fellow also agreed that it was the fault of the police men then he fired that person on site at that time i was even unaware how much i was injured and i have to rush to hospital for cleaning the wounds which were bleeding
after i came out of hospital i got my family members to the police station to file a FIR against that fellow and forced them to put him in jail and he was kept in jail for misusing the law and as their was two days holiday due to some thing he cannot even get the bail and when the result came he was heavily fined and statement was made that he can never get any government job[i can say that i was having a stronger political and police support including the other traffic persons].

I completely agree with you on this one. If you don't have helmets on you are endangering your life. And I believe that attempt at suicide is a punishable offence in India. After all you are not asked to wear helmets and seat belts because the government doesn't want to see some covered faces on the roads, but it's for your own safety.

I don't support any policeman throwing his cane at you. I'm saying enforcing law is their duty, and they should do it properly. The protests that you saw in Kerala after the recent incident was organised by some people who might have some vested interests. These protests turned violent from the beginning itself. They were burning tires on the road and blocked the road causing problems to other commuters.

I don't want the police to kill people and I don't want people to turn violent and think with mob mentality at every possible opportunity.

Please do tell me what the full form is as I'm unaware of this.

When the seat belts and helmets were made mandatory there used to be seat belt and helmet checks and if police caught you violating the law they used to lecture you about the importance of wearing them and then write you a fine. That was a fine thing.

chill man,
but still ,ya we need it badly,
it will come handy the day i upload some super cops collecting s10 from every trucker entering the city........

chill man, i have seen worse, its more like tip of the iceberg...........

I think this post should be moved to off-topic discussions

yes, i have seen this at lot of places.
