Yesterday I am cruising around 90kmph on the NH1 after karnal(as I have done hundreds of times!) I see a haryana roadways bus blocking my way well past 80. I flash lights and honk, the guy gives me left indicator, left being clear I floor is and cross the bus, and while I am doing it I see an interceptor with a radar gun!
I know I have been had. This is the first time I have seen an interceptor on this road!
Half a km ahead there is a police barricade which tells me that the speed limit is 90kmph and I was doing 103.
Good enough. I am ready to pay the 400rs fine.
I then ask the dude whats the speed limit for heavy vehicles?
He tells me 65kmph.
I then asked him are they challaning buses also. He says no. We can't.
I ask him that its because you are not permitted.
He says no, thats not the case but bus drivers create a nuisance and don't stop and get problematic, so they are just stopping cars and trucks!
I am like
