I dont remember that more than once or maximim twice in my whole life, i broke traffic rules. how much hurry may it be, but i never break the rules. once when i broke, i remember very well, that i i was driving and my friend sitting behind. i was on my bike and i didnt noticed that there is a signal also and kept on driving while talking. then suddenly when i heard a strong alarm and a whistle, i realised, ooppss!!!, i have crossed Red light, i broke the rule. i atonce stopped, apologised and then requested the man not to list me and it was his greatness that is let me go and after that till today i dont remember that i have ever broken any law. did anything like this happened with you also ? yes, no, whatever , please share.

Hi aweins, I had a bad experience and it was partly my fault actually wholly my fault - I was once looking for an ATM to withdraw some money and it was a new area so I dint know thw roads well. Finally I located an ATM on the opposite side of the road and without looking or realizing that it was a no parking zone , I parked my car to the side and crossed the road. I withdrew cash and when I got back the tow truck had already arrived( looked as if they were waiting for someone to park there , so that they could promptly tow the vehicle away) and on the verge of lifting my vehicle. I pleaded with them and finally had to give Rs 200 before they let off my vehicle . Now I am very careful about where I park and I never ever jump signals....All the best and have a great evening

Twice I was caught for crossing a red light. Once I paid a fine of Rs.50, and in the other time, I paid a fine of Rs.100. Of course three to four times, I got caught for not wearing a helmet, but till today, I had not been fined for this, and I was let off with a warning.

hey!I live in a small town and there are not much traffic signal posts.There will be only traffic police man at junctions keen on maintaining the one way.That too will not be followed by anybody,if the police is away.That is the curse of our little town.So,almost everybody breaks that one way rule.And I remember an instance where me and two of my friends rode triples and get caught by the sergeant and we were given charge sheet.

I had my share of breaking traffic rules to. I committed an offense that I really am ashamed of. Jaywalking. Its the worst offense I've ever had in my life. Why? Because all other people who are present in the area tends to look at you flat on their faces and laugh. So mean...

It was damn confusing actually... There was a sign in yellow light blinking all the time indicating a left turn. Now, I was confused, what the blink means, and I thought I was free to take a left turn and suddenly one cop out of nowhere stops me and says I broke the signal. He was damn cheap to take a bribe of 30 bucks. I told him I had only fifty bucks and I need at least 20 for gas. He was so cheap, he took the fifty and gave me a change of 20 back. Ha ha ha! Then another time, I couldn't see the signal ahead of me, because there was this city bus turning to the right, and even I had to take a right turn, and I didn't notice the signal had changed to yellow, and I just continued along the bus and the car. But this cop doesn't stop the car, and only stops me, because again I crossed the line after the signal had changed to yellow. I argued with him asking why he didn't stop the others, and just stopped me since I had a small vehicle. Again, I had no money with me except thirty bucks in my pocket and he took it all... Ha ha ha...! I've had a couple of funny incidents. Cops even take as low as five and ten bucks.
