[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 ?

My fiancee went to RTO-Jayanagar to get her MAT for attested... as they are gazzeted officers. That bloody refused point blank saying... "Yes I can do this... but I wont do it for you..Do whatever you want!!!"
And he just refused to speak in English or Hindi... and kept on blabbering rubbish which my fiancee couldn't understand at all..
Disgraceful people... and also whenever you go to them... they will make you say... "Bangalore Police is the best"... do hell with bangalore police!!!
I would like to add my personal experience here. I totally respect the government rules and according to the rules you need to register your vehicle when moving to other states. I went to Electronic city RTO for this purpose.
1.When I asked for the form to pay road tax, the lady handed me a form in kannada and told that she doesn't have english/hindi form. I got english form from a xerox shop near RTO.
2. I filled the form and went to the counter to ask for the amount of tax that I need to pay. I was directed to a desk where the person was missing. After waiting for around 15 minutes, the person came and pointed me to different desk. The second person sent me to another desk and same with the 3rd and 4th person untill I was frustated.
3. I asked the 5th person, why cant these people guide me to the correct desk for which he replied something in Kannada. I requested him to speak in Hindi or English. He replied somethig in Kanadda, which, with my little Kannada knowledge, make out that 'This is Karnataka, why should I speak Hindi.
I had no choice, but to go back, since I had to reach my office. I am not sure why are there states in India, where people dont consider themselves as Indians.

What he said is correct, he can speak only Kannada. If he has to go to some North Indian states he has to speak in hindi, Otherwise you can not expect him to speak in hindi in Karnataka.
Sir I am 17 Year old And on 20-jan-2013 i will be of 18 years Can i get LL or DL for with gear 2 wheeler & santro car driving licence
I Have 10th Marks card And Bank Account Passbook For date of Birth and Address Proof
Dear i need heavy license so it possiable & i do have DL light vehical.
The point 1 and 2 you are noted is a misbehavior from RTO.
3rd point, you are correct, be to verify the identity RTO confirm the details in appl. form.
4th point, the reason of failing the test are not major, but those are valid reasons.
5th point, we cannot blame the officer. I know many officers who do not know to speak fluent in English or Hindi.
If Indian Govt has gut ad if they are eating human food and not fecal matter of pigs and if they dare. Ask them not to take bribes in RTO elctricity and other departments. Govt depts should be there to help people not to loot and cheat them. Yelahanka RTO all officials are corrupt. They are corrupt to the core. They are hard core cheats. If Indian Govt dares don;t act as if you don't know and even police depts. shut up and just act do some work for your salary.
For the guy from North India one piece of advice. If you had paid the bribe even if you do not have a two wheeler and did not drive yo would get driving license. Here in karnataka these days it is the most corrupt place in India undoubtedly. YOu see the construction mestris they make 4 times what a top software professionals earn they don't pay a single tax and live without any issues. Iam planning to switch from IT to be a contractor and also not educate my children if I stay in India (Which I do not wish to). I have travelled several countries and found India to be the filthiest of all places worst than Africa also. Atleast they take bribe with humiliation and Indian Govt offcials demand bribe and still do not do any work . Indian ruppee has no value. When the so called leaders Eswarappa has money counting machine in his house which lot of banks do not have and when maran has pvt exchange and redy bros hop in helicopter to places to have lunch and dinner and praful patels daughter takes Air India for pvt rave parties. When gakaris driver has many companies on his name I am not sure who is a leader and outlaw and why is goonda being abused goonda is atleast stamped as goonda but what to tell about people who get Govt salaries and work 24*7 against Govt and blackmail people. What kind of country is this? It is shame to live in India. If Indians and the Govt has any guts take moral responsibility and do work properly for 1 year then we can see. Kalmadi had conducted games 20 times the cost Sydney has conducted my maid servantcan do that why do u need kalmadi for that.
EVERY ONE I AM IN BANGALORE FROM 6 YEARS AND I FROM NORTHEN PART OF INDIA.

MY EXPERIENCE TOWARDS PEOPLE IN BANGALORE OR ANY PEOPLE IN KARNATAKA IS GOOD . DIFFERENCE IS ONLY WHEN WE START COMPARING OUR LANGUAGE AND CULTURE . PEOPLE DOING IN SOUTH OR NORTH DIFFERENTIATE ANY INDIAN IS NOTHING LESSON THAN A TERRORIST TO HIS COUNTRY.

WE HAVE SHOWN ARE UNITY IN CRICKET MATCH LETS SHOW IN OUR DAILY LIFE.

PEOPLE IN SOUTH IS NOT AWARE OF HINDI LANGUAGE AS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN SUCH MANNER THAT ONE SHOULD HAVE TO BE MORE EFFICIENT IN NATIVE LANGUAGE.

APPEAL TO ALL INDIAN . PLEASE REMEMBER WE START MAKING DIFFERENCE TO OUR CITIZEN THAN WE ARE NO GOOD TO BE INDIAN OR HUMANITY.


PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG IF COLOR OF YOUR BLOOD IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY HUMAN.

IF ANY ONE STILL HAS A PROBLEM THAN GOVT WILL NOT ALLOW US TO STAY IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE WOULD NEED A PASSPORT TO RESIDE IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE HAVE SHOWN UNITY BROTHERS.

DO WE GAIN BY HATING SOMEONE BUT WE FEEL PEACE BY HELPING SOMEONE.
YOUR GOD YOUR HINDU AND YOUR MUSLIM YOUR RELIGION ONLY TALKS ABOUT HUMANITY. JUST ASK YOUR SELF WHY?????????

RTO — Driving license

I did my driving licence for two wheelers 5 years back. But that time it was book. I want to change my address details in it and i want it to convert to smart card. I come under udupi RT. Is it possible for me to update my address and name information in bangalore RT?
my dad had a driving license, ...he lost it few months ago...he doesnt remember the number...wat should he do
I had similar prejudice and regionalism issue today of what is mentioned in the article above. I went for the driving test at Kormangala RTO. The driving test inspector started speaking in Kannada. When I told him "I do not understand Kannada", he started shouting at me in Kannada again. Forget about Hindi, he did not even attempt to speak in English. I am pretty much sure he will fail me in the test. This is pure bias.

They have studied in Kannada medium, We cant not expect them to speak in hindi or English.
if someone does not like bangalore and discrimination here, 1 statement for you "GET OUT FROM HERE, ***ES". Go and stay in Chennai, you will know what actual discrimination is

But, you will not, since there are no jobs in your places and you inevitably HAVE TO STAY HERE only. SO, shut up and learn to accept things as is
To all who say that learn Kannada before getting your work done in RTO, I would like to ask you how many years did you take to learn Kannada? It's not a piece of cake to learn a Dravidian language. Some people do try though. But, we don't try speaking it because, we are afraid that we might say something wrong or maybe offensive. Isn't it better to use a language which has been common to both o[censored]s during Schooling? English is there, Hindi is there. I am Kannada is a beautiful language but, is it right to deny someone a driving license because he doesn't speak Kannada?
Dear

who said Hindi is National Language???? (Plz know our Constitution regarding our national language...) thr is no any national language in India... give respect for local languages... (keep it u r Hindi in u r Home, not in Road) bcoz u r stay here, dts u r duty give respect being a Indian. (u want karnataka only for work, food, bed and shelter.. y nt language...) first of all why u want to speak in hidni... talking in English...(i knw most of the north Indians doesn't knw proper english... so that thy wil speak in their own language...

Mr. rockeyforever - You made me laugh. You think that people from other states are getting food and shelter from Karnataka? Boss, Karnataka has called upon the people from the entire country to share the workload which they are getting from other countries. How many Kannadigas are working in IT sector? 15% hardly. Do you think that would have made Bangalore what it is today? Everyone knows this city throughout the world today. We are thankful to the Karnataka government and we pay our gratitude by paying taxes. If there were no people from other states in Bangalore, it would have still been a retirement city today. We respect Kannada but, you can't expect us to be fluent in a year or so. Learning a language is NOT so easy. I understand that Hindi is not the national language on paper. However, which language do you use when you go to Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Delhi or everybody's favourite "Goa" when English fails? Hindi. Anyway, I am not against speaking Kannada unlike most non Kannadigas. I am trying and I find it very hard at present to express myself in Kannada. "Eega nanage jasti Kannada baralla. Aadare, nanu abhyasa madta idhini."
I am baffled by the attitude of northies!! When anyone travels upwards of Karnataka/Maharashtra, he/she CANNOT speak English, mind you!!
But when the same northies travel to a different state, they refuse to adapt by learning the language and being part of the city/state.
How do you expect non-hindi speaking states to understand Hindi..?
If you have such a major problem, how about travelling back to your place..?
Also, please understand that anyone travelling/staying in a state different from where he hails makes a genuine effort to adapt to the new place.
And maybe because you are a northie, you don't wear a helmet, don't use an "L" sign and also maybe turn ur head a complete 90 degrees and spit pan on the road.
Mend yourself before you point your finger to others!
It's high-time Kannadigas become nasty to nasty, filthy northies!!
All Kannadigas, take note of the kind of people populating your state!!
I will really support that non-kannadigas are being harrassed in Bangalore specially in government offices, i went to Indiranagar RTO to change my address, first day they said time is already up for today please come tomorrow. the time was 2.25pm, i did the same i went to next day with all required documents, after filling the forms i paid 220rs which is fees for the change of address, then got photographed, last i have to take signature from Assistant Regional Officer as always there was a huge que, the officer was not ready to sign on the form and told me to fill the different form or else apply for the new learning licence because i have a spelling change in the other document, i did the same, i have to continue the same thing for three times as he was talking in kannada and i was not able to understand what actually he wants and i also observed 1. the people who came with agents he was just signing without any question. 2. The person who was sitting on counter number 5 was taking some money with each forms.3. Why no one names was written specially the assistant Regional Officer, they were just sitting with position not with the name.
I don't understand there are sitting there to serve us or we are there to serve them after paying our hardworkened money through tax.

Anyhow i have submitted my DL, but still not sure whether it will come or not or i have to face same thing again and again.
Will the driving schools and RTO gets closed permanently in India..??
LOL .. UR FUNNY MAN... WHY DIDN YOU DO THINGS WITHOUT ASKING . HE WAS TESTING YOU AND YOU WERE ASKING HIM STUPID QUESTIONS . DONT YOU KNOW HLMET IS MANDATORY OT L BOARD IS A MUST . WOULD YOU ASK ANYONE BEFORE WEARING A HELMET ON THE ROAD.BANGALORE IS A PEACEFULL PLACE AS LONG AS PEOPLE BEHAVE NORMALLY . ITS A LOT BETTER THAN NORTH AS I HAVE BEEN THERE .
