REBEL and the Traffic Police

It was the beautiful evening of Saturday and my heart urges for a long drive on the high way to make the day more special. I obliged my heart and set out for a long drive.

There I was speeding on the high way, enjoying cool breeze and I was filled with immense energy as my destination was my journey and I was enjoying every bit of it. My joy was short lived though, There I saw a long rally of vehicles waiting for green signal at 4 X junction. Somehow, driving between the vehicles, on the platform I reached near the junction.

I was amazed to see that all four ways were showing red signals and there was no traffic man around. I was getting very impulsive to zip off through the red signals to the long empty road.
When two - three minutes passed, finally I saw signal changed to orange and I just ripped through the signals and was astonished to see somewhere 100 meters ahead of junction, 4-5 traffic police were hiding in the bush just to catch guys who are breaking traffic rules.


One of them came in the middle of the road shouting like hell and stopped me. I said , I started when signal became orange and it was about to turn green but He shouted back in regional language and I figured out that I am at the receiving end of his anger. My mind framed a good speech quickly which would have been very impressive if at all it was heard but nobody was ready to hear me. And I have learned one thing that arguments are never fruitful.


It was of course a plot to catch people and charge them as you will never find all four signal RED simultaneously at the same time.I learned a lesson though and said to myself, Mr REBEL don't break traffic rules.

I paid 300 rs fine and goes speeding again......
