My Experience with kumbakonam RTO office

Reported on April 22, 2011 from Thanjavur , Tamil Nadu  ι Report #33088

Good day,
I was return from Dubai,i had my Dubai Driving License.i Dont have indian License.so i approach the Driving school to apply for license.i clearly explain them i can drive both two wheeler and four wheeler so i dont want driving lesson just want get a license.
they told me to pay 5000 rupees to get a license.i was aware and went directly to the kumbakonam RTO(Tanjore District,Tamilnadu)when i visit the RTO office with all necessary documents.First of all i met the Grade II inspector.He given me a negative reply that he ask me to go to Driving school then only i can get LLR.i was not happy with answer,i directly met the RTO officer he was surprised and not given reply he told me to ********** the same Grade II inspector because i never talk in my mother Tongue Tamil.again i came to RTO officer explain him my problem then he call the Grade I inspector .

i spoke to him in english and explain to him about the Grade II officer negative reply.he understand the issue and ask me to pay for LLR fees and met him.
i did the same thing and the Grade I inspector told me to finish the Signal test.there also not given proper response by the staff he told me to come in the evening.i dont give it up i ask reason he cant reply me in english.finally i attend the test.i was surprised about the answer in the signal test.

Question is if you met the accident within how many hours you have to report to the police?

Answers
A)within 12 hours
B)within 24 hours
c)within 48 hours
as per the three answer all are wrong.it should be report immedietly
when i tick answer A)within 12 hours the system showing wrong answer.the right answer is B)withing 24 hours.i was laughing myself about the question and answer.
Because in my driving experience in dubai i attended 120 hours driving lesson.each lesson has 30 mins individual classes.i got my license in 3rd driving test.befor i attend the final road test i attend 8 pre final test.Rules and regulations are very strict there.

anyway finaly The Grade I inspector sign in my LLR.

I paid LLR fees only 90 Rupess for both two and four Wheeler.
I paid Road test fees 400 for both included driving license as well.
till now i didnot attend the final test.i plan to go befor the LLR expiry date.
