Hats off to the magistrate mainly for talking the truth. But motorists also should try to follow the law. We have seen clumsy careless drivers drive while talking on mobile.

Congratulations. All traffic cops must be punished for embarrassing the poor public.

Though he may have driven a lorry, he certainly must be an educated and a courageous person. Well done Mr. Farouk.

Hats Off ......
Hope the nightmare faced by the motorists will be reduced soon with this incident. We are all know that the police was wrong in many cases but conveniently bribe them or pay a fine and get on with our work.
But think for a moment, we did and they expect same from others... We did because we had those extra cash in hand, but what about thousands of motorists who dont have money to bribe them...?????
Thanks Bakshan..

The Police only knows to take Rs.500 or 1000 for trafiic offences without issuing a infringement.

Hurrah for the magistrate and courageous driver who defended himself. Good lesson for the educated motorists who accept the Traffic Policeman's words and accept spot fines to avoid going to the courts. Knowing the weaknesses of the motorists Traffic Cops take the law unto themselves to harass innocent motorists. via DM iPad app
