Road Rage

This is road rage with a difference: If you go to Ahmedabad from Vadodara you're almost certain your car will be stopped by the traffic police at least once. They will ask you for your license and the car's registration, insurance and PUC papers. If you don't have any one of them, you may have to shell out anywhere in excess of Rs 400 for the cops to let you pass. If you DO have them you have to wait for several minutes till the cops ascertain that there is no way they can get you to pay a 'fine'. After that they reluctantly hand over your papers and ask you to leave quickly so that they can catch someone else. With Ahmedabad traffic cops swooping down on cars with GJ-6 number plates, Vadodara's cops have started retaliating. So every time an unsuspecting GJ-1 car comes down from Ahmedabad into the city, our cops out here force them to halt. It's payback time!
