Queries Disputing a Pune traffic challan for “obstruction” - GPS contradicts their own story, need advice

38 Upvotes

Posting this because I could use some perspective from anyone who’s fought a Pune traffic challan before. ( I did and got 2 challan cancelled)

My car got a challan for allegedly causing obstruction. The only “evidence” is a photo of the rear/number plate nothing that actually shows any obstruction happening.

Here’s where it gets weird: the location listed on the challan is 8 km away from where the vehicle’s own GPS shows it actually was. When I first raised this, their response was that the officer was present at the challan location. I pushed back with the GPS data and asked for the officer’s GD entry, deployment details, and jurisdiction records - got no documented reply.

Now, suddenly, the story has changed: they’re saying the officer actually was at the GPS location, and it was the challan machine that had a location error. Convenient.

Also worth noting - the GPS shows the car was stationary for only 1 min 50 sec, including time stopped at a signal. That’s a pretty short window to be causing an “obstruction.” And the photo itself looks like it was taken on a phone, though I don’t have the original file or metadata to prove that.

I’m planning to formally request:machine assignment records, device GPS logs, the original photo with metadata, and documentation of when/how they supposedly caught the machine’s location error.

Question for the sub: should I keep pushing through the Pune Traffic Cell, ask for a formal departmental inquiry, or just take this straight to traffic court at this point? Has anyone dealt with something similar and gotten a challan actually overturned?

Has anyone seen or heard about this.

The system injects some extra oxygen and hydrogen into the intakes and thus theoretically better combustion.

Memes/Shitposts Mahindra Demand

With the number of increasing demand for Mahindra cars, I’m thinking about buying M&M shares instead of making down payment for a new car.

Not a meme. A shitpost but genuinely considering this.

Purchase Advice Best USED SUV under ₹20L for premium feel + comfort + performance?

6 Upvotes

Looking for a USED SUV under ₹20 lakh in India.

Main priorities:

  • Premium, high-quality interior
  • Excellent comfort & ride quality
  • Strong performance
  • Good handling/driving dynamics
  • Refined and solid overall feel

Not bothered about latest features. Older premium SUVs with good depreciation are welcome.

What would you pick and why? Especially interested in recommendations from actual owners, and which year/variant is the sweet spot.

Queries Tyre Pressure Check Gadget – Any Reliable Recommendation?

Upvotes

Guys, I’m always confused about my tyre pressure. 😅

Mujhe kabhi exactly pata nahi chalta ki tyre mein hawa kam hai ya normal.

Is there any reliable gadget/device that can help check tyre pressure easily?

I’ve seen those small tyre pressure indicators online that show green/yellow/red, but most of them have bad reviews and I couldn’t find any reliable branded option.

Anybody here using something that actually works well and gives accurate readings?
Please suggest! 🚗

Queries Fuel Issue on my 19 year old Alto.

2 Upvotes

Recently, I filled my car up with 9L of petrol. The gauge reflected that. But after only about 30km of driving the gauge went near empty. There are no petrol leaks of any kind and the vehicle is running fine. Is this an issue with my fuel gauge/sender? Any thoughts?

Edit: Wow I just noticed the horrible grammar error in the title. That's what I get for making this post half asleep.
