Challan on Front Number Plate?

[pwuser169710516449]

I got stopped twice on my YBR 125G today between 1-2 PM. Traffic was low. Never happened in my life.

They initially took my NIC and said I will have to somewhere else to pay challan and then I will get it back. But I said I will pay challan here. Reason was that my bike does not have number on front. I do have plate on side of front tyre.

They said challan will be 1000, then said they can do it for 500 (bribe), which I refused and paid 1020.

Then I got stopped again after a few stops, and I told them I already got a challan and they let me go without asking anything or seeing the challan.

I found this experience very weird because I have mirrors, helmet, etc. And I was using turn signals both time when taking left.

Is this legit? Should I put a number plate on front? Karachi if that matters.

Very strange. This bike carries a space on right side of front tyre for number plate installation. It's very unfair that you got the ticket for that.

Same thing happened with my friend who has a ybr in Karachi. he told the traffic police that the company is giving place for the number plate on the right side of the front tyre but they did not understand this and he got a challan instead. We need to get proper number plates for the front of the bike as well as this is becoming common in Karachi.

Thanks. I will get a plate for front.

front number plate visibility, universal definition is 'shall be visible when looked at approaching vehicle'. regardless of plate holding provision by oem, please ensure that your vehicle / bike regn plates are placed clearly visible readable when looked at from 'front' & 'rear'

not while looking at from either side.

That is 'by-the-law' in Pakistan, and can not be challenged or defied.

you getting a penalty ticket for plate placement is as per law., nothing abnormal.

cheers !

Place the plate under the headlight.
