Paid a bribe to the traffic police on the road

Reported on June 7, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #7816

So, someone stole my wallet a week ago. It had my driving licence

I've applied for a new driving licence a few days ago (via an angent so I dont have to stand in a half a dozen different queues and waste half of my day).

What with some strike ********** going on, I still have to get my licence.

End result is that when I got caught waiting for a traffic signal (cop approached me out of the blue because I looked like a well to do student) I had to pay the bribe.

What complicated it is that it was my friends bike from another state and all the bikes papers were 1000 Kms away in another state. (how can you expect us to carry the RC book and all the bike papers all the friggin time?)

End result, 300 rs bribe.

The funny thing is, my bikes battery was discharged so I had to get someone to push the bike to start it. After paying the bribe, the coppper actually got one of his junior cops to push the bike for me so I could get it started.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
