Bribe paid even when ready to pay the fine

Reported on August 29, 2010 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #30897

So I jumped the signal only because I was riding by motorcycle at a speed of 40kmph, the road was wet and slippery due to rain showers , and I was scared that jamming my vehicle to halt at such a high speed might cause an accident.
The traffic cop stopped me and demanded my licence.I admitted my fault and was all set to pay the fine.However, the cop insisted to confiscate my license and to pay the fine at the police chowky.The reason he gave was that this is the law.From when ???
I had no choice but to bribe him as for me , my time is valuable and I was worried that the cop might misplace my licence.In short, I was not strong enough to stop this from happening.
