[Resolved]  Bangalore Rto (Driving License) — Bangalore RTO - experience

People are talking more about North Indian being harassed at mumbai. But has anyone ever talked about harassment of non Kannadigas at Bangalore ?

Ask the people who are living there. I am going to present the series of few short stories here and inviting discussion / comments.

This is in reference to Driving license.

One of my known person has went for driving license in Bangalore. Just check incidences -

1. When he was in front of licensing authority, officer denied to speak in English and asked to speak him in Kannada only. When he said about not knowing Kannada and ask to speak in Hindi, officer shown him bitter face.
2. Officer asked him to show PUC certificate for new car - new car doesn't require PUC certificate.
3. During driving test, officer asked him where he belongs to, is he a software guy and for how much time he is in Bangalore - to probably inquire about his background.
4. He was declared failed in driving test reason
* He did not wear helmet for 2 wheeler test - he has asked officer whether he should wear or not before test and officer said, its ok not to wear
* He did not put L sign board on bike as it was on his car. He asked officer whether he should transfer it from his car as it was on his car.
* He has not shown sign of stop while taking turn on hike - how many Indian knows sign of stop ?
5. At the end when he asked officer not to be unfair to him, officer replied to him only in Kannada ?

Now tell me

* Is it not a prejudice driven ?
* Are North Indians being harassed at Bangalore?
* Where a person should raise his voice against ?

I have to driving licence for motorcycle and car. I approached RTO koramangala for renewal of both DL.
But they refused to club it since the first one was issued from Indiranagar and I have to approach them. But my present address is at Koramangala jurisdiction, I dont understand the logic of contacting Indiranagar. I went Indiranagar they refused to do the work because they need the residential proof and again they send back to Koramangala. Then I hv submitted the application for 4 wheeler after paying necessary fees. Again they refused to include 2 wheeler in that. But at my surprise they told me that I can not hold 2 licences since it is computerised and I can not apply for 2 wheeler renewal. What irresponsible people they are, they can not even suggest me what next I have to be done.
Guys if you have a problem in Karnataka go back to where you belong.. Bangalore compared to other north Indian and some tamil speaking states have accepted you people and given you a rosi rotti.. yoou shameless people keep complaining..


Learn the states culture and background if you want to Stay here if not who cares ur depending on our state not us

just get lost..
Actually while i was walking and going near this Indiranagar 2nd stage were one car fellow came very rush in few seconds i dont know what will happen to me i noticed his car number red in colour and is number is KA 03 ME 4790 please advice him not to go rash it had happen to me today i was coming on the platform he very close and suddenly he turned so please take a complain on him sir
i disagree.. a guy who desn't know the sign to stop... is surely failed in the test.. man... not only in Bangalore but all over India... and you have taken a LL... but was too lazy to hang a L board... on the vehicle... c'mon man... at least B4 going to the test u could have done that... and about kannada.. i believe he was wrong their...
It is a non-issue and it makes me laugh that speaking in Kannada in Karnataka can be a harassement. It shows perverse mentality of those coming from outside to Karnataka. If you are finding so hard to live in Karnataka then nobody is stopping you from going out. It is not upto us Kannadigas to learn your language and make you comfortable. If you do not want to learn Kannada but still be comfortable then better think of going somewhere else probably where you belong to.
Itis a non-issue and makes me laugh when somebody says that others are harassing by speaking in Kannada in Karnataka. It just shoes your perverse mentality. If you are finding it too hard to live in Karnataka then take a one-way ticket to soemwhere outside Karnataka. If you do not want to learn the language but still live comfortably there is always an option to go back to where you belong to in the first place.
Hi I am living in Bangalore for almost 10+ years and I been to different Govt offices for various work starting from my graduation to as a family men over here and I also learnt kannada here and my most of the friends are Kannadiga. Till I have not faced any issue about discriminity as being non-kannidiga. and it is actually true here. People take bribe here I agree fully but this is part of our system not part of any state. Only thing is people who donot understand kannada they will think wierd when some official speak kannada and they feel as if they are trying to redicule them. Believe me Govt office and Police are more worse in North like Delhi UP etc.
At the end will say only one thing to make your life hassle free in Bangalore Just Learn at least basic Kannada then you will find difference of being in Bangalore compared to any other metro
Doesn't matter one gets 4K or 100K a month, a bribe is a bribe. Why the hell did he join the job knowing the salary is not enough..Lame excuses..

RTO is a bit harsh in Bangalore but if you know driving and dont ask stipid questions like "should i drive" or "shall I wear helmet", you are through.
Hello Everyone,

I am from north and here in Bangalore from last 10 years. I don't believe that there is any sort of discrimination between ni and local people. Even i don't understand Kannada but wherever i have faced language issues, i just smiled and you know, it worked.. i was thru all that whatever was blocking my way.
It's sad to blame Kannadiga's for such silly things.
Those who really feel pain should go to other places outside Karnataka and then you will know the difference.
Rather than cribbing about such issues, try learning kannada and if you can't, smile and pass by. Don't blame others or make lame excuses.

Bribe is everywhere and is a part of SYSTEM. It's not localized.

JK
Whatever may be... Its sure that RTO officers are of the most corrupt officers and these driving school are just a dogs of these officers...
i dont thin the officer was rude o harassed tat person... whn u go 2 a place n try 2 live there it is his duty 2 learn d local language atleast basics n nt expect ppl 2 talk in wat so ever language they knw... n more ove RTO is nt a business place whr its give n take but a govt office... its u who wants n d officer get nothin n just doin his job... so u sud compile wit him n co-operate wit him... its very rite he spoke in kannada n did expect u to do so is also very much rite... n its his very rite n duty 2 check d persons background.. as the whole blame wud b on his head 4 givin him d DL...
n d reasons tat he gave are all very legal...
1:its a strict rule 2 wear helmet no matter how says wat so eva its his duty 2 wear it.. he jus broke d law even b4 he got his DL n tat 2 infront o d officer so its very legitimate
2:n d L sign tats also 2 valid since ur frnd had only d LL as o tat day... d law says u need 2 put a L sign when u ride it.. so its required on both o his vehicles n yet again he broke d law rite infront o d officer
3:n abt d signals... u cant say no1 knw s signals... y nt u strt usin it.. all d traffic rules are made 4 d riders safety.. so its 4 ur safety u gotta use ur signals n nt 4 d officer.. so even tat is very legitimate reason..
i don think d officer has been unfair... me being a localite even i was rejected 1st tym so nt showin signals.. so i don find any harassment o d officer being rude.. its jus smthin wrong in u tat u feel ur being harassed...

Incident details: I had applied for Learner license and I had filled in the application form also the same for 2 wheeler without gear, but the person who was preparing my LL made a mistake of putting LMV-CAR instead of 2 wheeler gearless,
When I went to ask him for correction, he is telling its not possible to change it and he asked me to take LL test again saying that I don’t have time to search for your application, so come on Monday and write the test and go for your DL again after 1 month.

My 2 wheeler LLR was suppose to get expired on 27th Dec ’11 and I went for my DL test for my 2 wheeler on 24th Dec ’11 and I completed my test and test also cleared and while signing the inspector observed as it was mentioned as CAR in the LLR form then I told him and showed my car DL also saying its already there sir then why should I again take test for car, then that inspector told me to contact Rajajinagar RTO for correction and on the same day evening around 4PM I went to one person by name “Veerabhadrappa” from Rajajinagar RTO and informed him the incident happened and asked him to correct the same but he responded me so vigorously saying its not possible for me to search for your application now, I have lot of things to do, so better go now and come and write the test again on Monday and go for DL test again by next month, but still I requested him and I begged him and I cried as well infront of him but he is so corrupted he dint agree.

Then few agents suggested me to speak to “ARTO – Lakshman” from Rajajinargar RTO who is boss for Veerabhadrappa, then I went and I spoke to Lakshman and I explained him everything and he also agreed saying yes its mistake from our RTO and so you go and request Veerabhadrappa for changing then I informed him saying “sir – I requested him but he is not agreeing, then he said ok call him, I will speak.

Then I went and informed veerbhadrappa tat ARTO is calling you and he wanted to speak itseems, he was so rued and he said no I wont come its not possible, tel him the same.

Again I went to ARTO and informed him that he is not ready to come, then ARTO himself called him and informed but still tat veerabhadra dint agree.

Conclusion is even thought the mistake is from there end but still I suffered for the whole day and I cried for the same and I begged them but still nothing happened.

This shows how much corrupted our India is and I really petty poor people how they are surviving in this India with out money.

These kind of money eaters should be put in jail or should be removed from the job………. Really kind of situation should not come for anyone, even thought am being a girl I faced a lot.

I would like to register the complaint about the Veerabhadrappa from Rajajinagar RTO and few agents who cheated me and gave me mental torture …….. really this is not fair and defently god is there and he will show the pain for them or for there kids only then they will realize.

For this kind of issues no one there to see these issues and no one to support we poor people of Karnataka – India, this is really SAD ……   
it is a known fact that most ( if not all ) people from north are a rude and brash lot. if you start a conversation with rude behavior then you have to expect rudeness from the opposite person even from a kannadiga who by nature is a soft and helpful person

I failed the driving test today without any reason given to me by the assessing officer. I saw people who couldnt even change gears properly getting a license only because they came with an agent or a driving school. I dont think the reason for failing me was that i am a North Indian, it's just that i refused to pay any kind of commission for getting a license. I am really confident of my driving and I know that I drove perfectly while the driving test was going on. The officer has asked me to come back in 8 days, pay 100 Rs. again for driving test and appear for a test again. I am sure I will face the same problem again because I will not pay even a single rupee to a driving school for teaching me something I already know.

However, I totally agree that their is discrimination against North Indians in Govt. offices because all the staff members at Electronic city RTO were talking to me in Kannada, which i dont understand. Infact one of them made fun of me when I asked him something in Hindi, I didn't understand what did he say but I could figure out by his expressions that he is saying something against North Indians. All the forms required for getting a driving license were printed in Kannada, I downloaded the form in English from the internet, but it should be available at the RTO office as well.

Can someone tell me where to bring up this issue?? Is there any authority that can help against such cases?? Please help!!

Driving schools — Asking huge amount for getting DL
