Absolutely Right. The new AI system on that highway is bullcrap. Is it ethical on the ministry's part to fine more than once in a single jurisdiction?
Very true. I just got a challan for 65 speed. In the UK, they allow a tolerance, but in India, it’s strict.
This is ridiculous; I also got fined for being at 65. Like wtf, I have to be more careful at the speedometer than the road.
Let alone the toll charges, I’m bloody pissed by the speed cams. Rather than enforcing the rules, it’s just another way to generate revenue at this point.
With Indian drivers around you, you better stick to the speed limit. You don’t know when someone might jump into your lane.
