A traffic constable will now no longer be able to walk away with your driving licence when you commit a traffic offence or when he is in a mood to make an extra buck. And we have Chief Secretary (home) U C Sarangi to thank for this.

The traffic department on Thursday issued orders barring police constables from seizing traffic offenders' driving licences, an arm-twisting method often employed by cops to get people to pay bribes.

The orders were issued by Joint Commissioner (traffic) Vivek Phansalkar after a traffic constable sought to seize Chief Secretary (home) U C Sarangi's son's licence for a traffic offence at Parel on Wednesday.

Sarangi and his son, who was at the steering wheel, were driving down the Parel flyover towards Dadar on Wednesday evening when they turned into one of the lanes near Parel TT bridge which happened to be no-entry.

The car was stopped by a constable who got into an argument with Sarangi's son when the latter refused to give up his licence, knowing fully well that constables do not have the powers to take away a driver's licence.

As the argument grew louder and nastier, Sarangi's son asked the constable if he knew the man sitting in the co-driver's seat. When the constable said no, Sarangi introduced himself as the boss of his boss (Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik). From the spot itself, Sarangi called Patnaik and told him about the incident and directed him to take steps to stop this extortion by his men.

Under the Motor Vehicles Act, only a police officer of the rank of assistant sub-inspector and above has the power to seize a motorist's licence or fine him. However, for years traffic constables have been robbing people by threatening them with forfeiture of their licence.

When Mumbai Mirror contacted Sarangi, he played down Wednesday's incident. "That incident is not important. What's important is that we are trying to change this. There is a proposal pending with us to empower head-constables to seize licences and fine traffic offenders. We will speed up the passage of this proposal."

Since traffic constables can't fine a motorist and thus do not have an opportunity to make money on the side, they take the offender's licence away and ask him to collect it from a police station the next day after paying a fine of Rs 100. The motorist is then given a receipt which he can produce at the police station.

More often than not, while preparing this receipt the constable offer to settle the matter for Rs 50.

It is not a secret that constables hide around one-ways and traffic intersection waiting for motorists to slip up. But now you need not fear them. Remember a traffic cop dressed in white and khaki (constables and head constables) does not have the right to seize you licence (they can only check it), nor can he charge you a fine.

No Issues, if not this ride some other ride surely.
Biryani khaa aur mazze kar

Mentally I am in for this ride . Abhi bas leave lene ka hai mereko . We could also go via NH3 and come via NH8?

If we come back via NH8 then I am little worried about traffic in Nalasopara, Virar, Vasai all the way till we reach Fountain Hotel. Since NH6 is not a known route and also it will take more time to be completed we rather go via NH8 on Sat and come back via NH3.

All I remember of Bobbyclick is one blob. Dont know when we actually met after he came back. I guess last year, the times auto show.

Gopi - Met him during his wedding which his BEST friend THE GREAT WINZEEKANTH, forgot.

Papafreak - I think we last met on the night dhaba g2g which was again sometime around when the flintstones were trying to kill the dinosaurs and winzee was yet to join thier cause.

Where are DK, MasterMind, Rony, Atul, Tushar, MotorBhabhi, SpiderWeb, and so many of those mumbaikers who are now turning into mum - bikers!
