Corrupt police officers.

Use of helmets is compulsory in Kerala, however, because of hearing defect and other minor health problems such as neck-ache a few people avoid helmet during small journeys. Sensing this as a big opportunity a few corrupt police officers obstruct bikers and collect hefty sum as fine. The money they collected some times goes to state exchequer and most times to their own pockets. This problem is increasing day by day and they do this after avoiding other important matters of immediate attention. These corrupt officers collect heft sum as bribe even when a person encounters an accident on the road. I don’t think that any hard and fast rule could check these corrupt officers. Instead they should be given awareness that the money they collect illegally would newer help in their disaster.

They should be also given training to live a modest life with the money they actually earn from the job. They should be informed that their children, grown in the lavishness of the bribe they collect, would never care them in the old age
