This is transportation in India
The first day we were driving in a modern car and Anil got
pulled over.. Now getting pulled over in India
is not a police car turning on their lights behind you. Here in India
the police officer is standing on the side of the road, and with a hand signal
you must pull over. He walked over to
our car and had a confrontation with Anil in a local language that we do not
understand. They settled on a bribe of
100 rupees and the officer let us go.
Anil told us that had he not bribed the officer he would of had to pay a
fine for us not wearing our seat belts.. but instead of a fine the officer will
pocket the bribe money.
100 rupees = $1.92
ReplyDeleteNot a whole lot, but I think it would get annoying paying bribes everywhere you go all the time.
