Penalty for Violating Traffic Rules

Policeman:  Hey! Stop your car.

Rajani:   (Stopping her car, surprisingly). What is the matter?

Policeman:   You have violated the traffic rule.

Rajani:   What are you saying? I haven’t committed any offence.

Policeman:   Don’t tell a lie. You should have stopped your car at red light but you skipped it. Such negligence may cause an accident.

Rajani: (Realizing her mistake) Oh! I am extremely sorry. In fact the crossing was free and I was in a hurry, thus I failed to notice the red light.

Policeman:   But you are expected to drive carefully and cautiously on the road. You can’t endanger your or others life.

Rajani:   Would you please pardon me this time?

Policeman:   How can we allow persons like you to create chaos on the roads. Traffic police is for your safety. I am making out your challan. Take out your driving licence.

Rajani:    (Showing her driving licence) It is my driving license. Please try to understand me. I didn’t commit mistake intentionally. I assure I will be more careful in future.

Policeman: lease don’t try to argue, and give me Rs.100/-. It is the minimum penalty.

Rajani:   (Seriously) Try to realize my helplessness. I have only 100 rupees in my purse, I may need it. My friend is seriously ill. I am going to her house to enquire after her health.

Policeman:   Okay, okay..... you are being pardoned this time. Henceforward follow traffic rules carefully.

Rajani: (Having a sigh of relief) Thanking you.
