6.What do to when stopped by a Traffic Policeman ?

A Traffic Policeman in uniform has the right to demand your driving license and inspect your vehicle documents. He can impound your license if he should so judge it necessary.

If a Traffic Policeman gives you instructions on the road, it is your duty to obey him regardless of what the electronic traffic signals indicate. When a Traffic Policeman is stationed at a signal / crossing, he is the final authority.

If you cannot find your vehicle, it is likely that it may have been towed rather than stolen. Ask around, local shopkeepers are normally informed about local Traffic Stations where impounded vehicles are kept.

Stop your vehicle when a Traffic Policeman so indicates. You may ask him what is the reason for you being stopped. Do not argue with the Policeman. If you feel there is a genuine argument for your having broken a rule, explain it to him.

If you have committed a mistake, admit it candidly. He may well let you off with a warning if approached with courtesy. Do not drop names of other Policemen and influential people. If the Policeman is insistent, show him the requisite documents, and allow him to take whatever action falls within the purview of his duties.

7.What actions can a Traffic Policeman take ?

He may note down the particulars of your License which will later be forwarded to a court. The court will then issue instructions regarding the course of action that is to be taken - a certain amount may be collected, as fine. If you plead guilty and send the requisite amount, the case will be filed, else summons will be sent to you and the case will be judged on merit.

He may impound your Driver’s License and issue a temporary license (which lasts only for a stipulated period). You may compound the offence by paying a fine at the Police Station under whose jurisdiction the License was impounded. Else you will be provided a summons from court, and if you fail to appear in court an arrest warrant may be issued.

If the Policeman is an officer of a Sub-Inspector’s rank or above, you may compound the offence on the spot by paying a fine. The relevant receipts will be provided to you.

8. What can I do when harassed by a Traffic Policeman ?

If a Traffic Policeman harasses you for illegal gratification, never yield to his demands. Allow him to impound your License, do not attempt to bribe him even if coerced.

Note down his Buckle number / Name which will be written on a name plate on his shirt. If he does not have one, you may demand his Identity Card. If he fails to provide you an Identity Card, refuse to give him your documents.

All receipts / temporary Licenses will have the Name / Buckle number of the compounding Traffic Police Officer on duty.

You can approach the Traffic Police Department with a specific complaint indicating all the particulars about the incident, and this MUST include all the details about the concerned Police Officer.
