I was surprised that I earned Rs. 1,000 by plying by the meter,” he explains.
“On my first ‘savari’, a traffic policeman stopped me near Chennai Central, and when I told him I was a retired sub-inspector, he was surprised. I never haggle with commuters but tell them to insist that drivers ply only by the meter,” says Mr. Sekar.
Sekar says drivers can earn up to Rs. 1,000 or more if they work for 12 hours every day.
“They should abstain from vices. I am not part of any autorickshaw stand and I go anywhere my passenger wants me to. Besides, not even a single policeman has harassed me, which proves that if autorickshaw drivers have all the documents and follow the rules of the road, there won’t be any problem,” he says.
.
Interestingly, Mr. Sekar was an autorickshaw driver before he joined the police force in 1984 as a constable.
During his service, he was saving money to buy an autorickshaw and he bought one in his daughter’s name and employed someone to drive it.
It is exactly the reason why Autos could not be regulated oweners are serving Police Men and that is more interesting!
