Shame the shameless first.

                                                  

          Under the draft Road Transport and Safety Bill, those caught over-speeding have not only to pay hefty fine, face cancellation of licence but their names and photographs will also be published in news papers by the authorities. The cost of such news paper ads. would be recovered from the offenders. The draft bill is likely to be introduced during the second half of ongoing session of the Parliament. The offenders have their names and photographs published at their expense in three leading news papers of the district where they reside of which at least one must be English. The proposed fine is Rs 1000/ for over-speeding by 5-9 kmph and Rs.2000/ for more than 19 kmph.

         If the rule is strictly implemented we can see the photographs of  the so called VIPs and VVIPs who trot in limousines with lal-batis.

Our Central Ministers.

Our Chief Ministers.

Our State Ministers.

Our Judges.

Our Babus - the IAS and IPS.

Our political leaders..

Our God men and women.

The rich and powerful, who are close to the filthy rulers.

But these thick-skinned men and women will not be caught on the cameras. They find ways to circumvent the rules. In Kerala the ministers, the babus and KSRTC buses are exempted from the rules regarding speed limit.

          Sign boards displaying speed limit are not put up on many roads. Correctness of the findings of the radars are also questionable. On NH 47, between Thrissur and Ernakulam a bus was caught on camera running at a speed exceeding 200 kmph. The authorities who dared to book the driver, shamefully withdrew later realizing the maximum possible speed of the vehicle was 160 kmph.

         Am admi beware, you will be at the receiving end of this funny law, with corrupt implementers and faulty machines
