Guys, this is not limited to the metro's - have seen this in district HQ's too .. Typically, just a guy sitting beside the road with a radar gun, and a cop near-by with a radio / w/t. The violators are flagged down about half a km down the road.

tsk, good one, that.

but - check-posts are known places, and the trucks just have to stop there. Unless there's a surprise check-point on the road.

Has anyone tried using the Radar detectors in India ? They are supposed to sit in your car and raise alarm if they detect Speed guns or the radar used by cops.

radar detectors should work. the The Bel Pro RX65 and Escort Passport 8500 are the better ones. Valentine One is also supposed to be very good. i use the passport 8500 and it gives me plenty of time to slow down

Re: WARNING : SPEED COPs AHEAD

Wow! Wanted to start a new thread on this very topic today and thought to check first if a thread of this type exists! And here we have it, though the last post is from 15 years ago!

I regularly try to warn folks coming in the opposite direction by flashing my lights about Traffic Police checking for speeding or lane violations or basically just about anything. I don't really know if it works or the people coming towards me understand why i am flashing my lights at them.

So lets make this common practice. I have seen
Truckers use this method regularly.

Any way we can make it common knowledge atleast on Team Bhp? I'm sure word could spread eventually. As far as "obstruction of police in doing their job" goes i would like to see them prove it

Re: WARNING : SPEED COPs AHEAD

Don’t do it in the UK atleast.

What is the legality in India? “Obstructing an officer from discharging his/her duty” might hold true in India as well.
