Roadies being fined on NH44 in Karnal, Haryana for overspeeding, dark glasses, drunk driving, etc in February 2020


Roadies are fined in Karnal, Haryana on NH44 for overspeeding, films on glasses, drunk driving, non-existence of reflector tapes in trucks, etc.

This was a video by 'India Breaking News' from the location where checking was being carried out by Haryana Police personnel on the highway in end February 2020.
It's being mentioned by the police officer on duty that the official speed limit on that stretch is 100 kmph + 5% grace, which makes it 105 kmph. A car doing 106 kmph is fined ₹2000 on the spot.
Cars with dark films on glasses are fined a whooping ₹10000.
Drunk driving cases are referred to the courts.
.
.
Caution: Not all NH in India has an upper speed limit of 100 kmph. Most states/ locations have limits ranging from 40 - 80 kmph.
There are states, viz. West Bengal which don't object to dark glasses.
HP doesn't even allow any writings in the form of stickers on windshields or the body.

Attention Ministry of Road Transport and Highways:
MORTH has only given a set of directives to all the states and UTs. However, the implementation and interpretation seems to have been left to the ministers and 'babus' of the respective State governments.
With good road infrastructure, people are not left moving around within a town, district or state. With different set of local rules and impromptu interpretations by uncouth cops in different states, the road users are invariably at the receiving end.

Requesting  Nitin Gadkari to do something about it on a war footing and dole out exemplary punishment to erring police and RTO/ PVD officials.

Harassment of Suresh Joseph at Navalur Toll Plaza, near Chennai on 2019-11-04


Many reports and videos have emanated in social media over the years of ill treatment meted out to toll booth operators.

I (Suresh Joseph), had the opposite experience when I was abused by two young toll booth operators at the Navallur toll booth this afternoon (Monday, 2019-11-04) as I was returning from office.

As I didn't have change I handed over Rs. 2000 for a one way toll of Rs. 27. The toll operator asked me for change to which I said that I had only Rs. 20 with me. The operator asked where he could go for change if I gave him the higher denomination. To this I replied that the denomination is legal tender. He flew into a rage and told his colleagues to go and collect as many coins as possible to return change to me in coins. I said I would wait for the change. All he could muster was Rs. 73 in coins and the rest was given in notes. When I was counting the coins the two operators ganged up and started violently gesticulating and abusing in Tamil, behaving like goons rather than as the service providers they are. I am attaching a photo of the two for authorities to take action and warn others of the duo.
