Honesty Pays !
Maybe , but this time I paid :(
It was just like any other morning . On the way to the office stopped by to fill in petrol at a gas station . I asked the guy to fill in for 300 bucks and gave him a 500 Rs note. After filling for 300 the guy gave me another 300 bucks as change . I pocketed the change and left the station . I realized I got the extra 100 while driving ,turned back and gave him the change . As I took a left turn from the gas station at the signal, a traffic cop got down from his bike and stopped me and said there was no free left (there was no signal and no board indicating this) . After arguing for 10-15 minutes with a fool on the road, paid 100 as fine the cop insists that the signal stopped working just before I came ... What a coincidence !!
Lateral thinking says if I did not return to the gas station , I would"ve not got caught by the cop for the invisible sign board and a non working traffic signal.
So much for honesty .. :) though I would still prefer to pay the guy at the station rather than for defunct signals and signboards
