Pune Traffic Police — Challaned for going through a yellow light

Dear Sirs,

I have been wrongly challaned for going through the intersection of Ghorpadi Road and North Main Road on a traffic light when it was yellow. My Car no is MH12PN5880. When i was flagged down and stopped I immediately mentioned the traffic light was yellow when i went through the intersection. I was told by the traffic constable that one is not supposed to go through a yellow light. I even googled and showed him that when at an intersection the light turns yellow one has to stop if one can but if one is already at a speed where one might stop in the intersection one needs to drive through. No human eye is that competent to tell me when i could have safely stopped.

I find this most unreasonable and even against the Traffic Rules themselves. Proper training should be given to constables so that they are not overzealous. I have been driving all my life and am a Senior citizen. Harassment as such is hence not welcome. It is not the question of Rs200 or so which the fine may be but to be cheated by a public servant not properly discharging his duty is uncalled for.

I do hope you will look into this and get back to me.

Thanking you,
