All teenagers driving bikes/ scooters in India must have one skill - dodging the sly and cunning Traffic Police. Of course, you can only escape their clutches so many times. At one time or another, they Traffic Police will get hold of you.
If they get hold of you, and you dont have the necessary documents (license, registration, pollution check and insurance), the Traffic Police OWN you. Of course, I have heard of instances when even having all the documents doesn't help. Either way, you're not getting away without your pockets considerably lighter. Whether you chose to pay the official fine or bribe them is your choice.
So when the other day, after I had obtained all the required documents, I was just wishing, praying that a Traffic Policeman would stop and check me. And after a couple of days, my wish was granted.
A Traffic Policeman was about 30 metres ahead of me on one side of the road. Normally (when I didn't have my documents, i.e), I would make sure to maintain as much distance between him and me. But now, I deliberately moved towards his side, thinking to myself, "Stop me, stop me, you prick. You people cost me thousands of bucks, and now I'll get back at you! I wanna see your face when I show you all the papers. Come on, stop me!!"
And sure enough, he was waving his hand towards me, telling me to stop. There was still about 15 metres of space between us. A smirk crept on to my face. A grin, really. I couldn't help it. I was waiting for the glorious moment. So there he is, looking at me, grinning from ear to ear.
I think he realised that I was itching for him to stop me. When I slowed down and stopped, he said, "Alright, go ahead". He realised that I would gloat and smirk in my moment of glory. Therefore he thought, better not risk getting embarrassed by this punk. Let him go. If only I had been able to stop myself from grinning. I would've had my moment of glory!
