I unknowingly jumped red light
- Transport
- Traffic Violations
- Paid INR 100
While going on NH-24 near IndiraPuram, I was just following the crowd of vehicles on the road, and apparently one of the light turned red (I was watching the vehicles in front and didn't even realize there was a traffic light). I was stopped and asked for papers. I had the papers and license, so he said he has to confiscate my driving license and I can collect it from Gaziabad court (I live in Greater Noida, which is about 40 kms away), he said in UP I can't pay my challan in cash. I protested, but he said I have to meet his boss. When I went there, he said nothing can be done. So I offered him Rs. 100 and accepted and let me go. I guess I could have taken the challan and then gone on some working day to that court, but I tried to save my office time and drive time by bribing. If only they could let me pay full challan amount in cash (or card if they are worried about policemen stealing from govt), I would have gladly paid for my mistake :-(.
