Stop your vehicle when a traffic policeman indicates.
You may ask him what is the reason for him to stop you.

Do not argue with the policeman. If you feel there is a genuine argument for you breaking a rule, explain it to him.
If you have committed a mistake, admit it candidly, seek his pardon. He may let you off with a warning if approached with courtesy.

If a traffic policeman harasses you for illegal gratification, never yield to his demands.
Allow him to impound your license; do not attempt to bribe him even if coerced.

Note down his buckle number/name which will be written on the plate of his shirt. If he does not have one, you may demand his identity card. If he fails to provide an identity card, refuse to give him your documents.
All receipts, temporary licenses will have the name/buckle number of the officer.

You can approach the traffic police with a specific complaint indicating all the particulars about the incident; this MUST include details about the concerned police officer. It is desirable to send this complaint by registered post.
