Kerala Traffic Police Just Challaned A Tata Nexon Driver For Not Wearing A Helmet
Thursday, May 2, 2019 IST
In case you are having a weird day and saying “WTF!” more than you usually do, here is another one to add to your list. A motorist in Kerala was recently fined for not wearing a helmet by the Kerala Traffic Police. A pretty common occurring, right? Not when you are driving an SUV!
Yes, you read that right, the motorist was actually in a Tata Nexon when he was challaned for not wearing a helmet. Gopa Kumar shared the incident he faced on April 30 while travelling in his car with his family. You can have a look at the post here:
A translation of the post explains that Gopa Kumar was travelling on Shasthankota Chavara route with his family when the traffic police stopped him, apparently for not wearing a helmet. A sense of sarcasm can be noticed in the post by Kumar as the incident is less likely to be a deliberate move than a mistake at the hands of the traffic police.
As far as the imagination goes, Kerala Traffic Police must have been conducting a routine check at the post, where other vehicles might have been stopped as well. Though it is not clear as to why kumar was stopped, in all probability, it is the mix-up of his challan with that of a two-wheeler rider that has turned out to be one of the most hilarious things on the Internet in recent times.
Kumar realised that the challan was for not wearing a helmet only after he had already paid it and was thereby released by the police. A simple reasoning would say that there must have been another who had gotten a “not wearing a seat belt” one for his two-wheeler. So we know for sure that the comedy of errors is not restricted to Kumar in this case.
While it is understandable that to "err is human", challans like these can go a long way in other countries, even leading to the suspension of the driver's license over time, as well as affecting the insurance premium of the vehicle.
