NOTE: This post was prompted by an incidence we had yesterday on Anna Salai, Chennai where for a Signal Voilation the Traffic Constable kept telling us that a fine of Rs.450/- was applicable whereas only Rs.50/- is applicable. (In the end, Rs.100/- went to the pocket for the Traffic Constable – probably he will use Rs.50/- for challan, and Rs.50 will be his Hard Earned Money for the Day).
