Update on Vikas's journey back from Mumbai to Delhi on the R15.
He started on 30th from Mumbai around 2 pm, reached Surat around 7 PM, reached Baroda around 1030 (good timings on this stretch) got into the expressway AGAIN and was caught by the Expressway Patrol around 1030 PM. He talked to me, I talked to the patrol Inspector and was about to drive on a rescue mission when things got sorted out !!!!
They took him to Anand Police station, he managed to get out as he had all the papers (and cash), his company ID helped (the police took my name, address and details and released him. Next day morning a police patrol came to my house @ 7 am the inspepctor and crossed checked my credentials, had a chai at my house; said they are on high alert now). He said Vikas was released because he did not try distort /hide any information everything checked out as in the papers and his story. He said even if one fact did not check out they would have detained him for more intensive investigation.
Vikas reached Himmatnagar around 2 AM, slept in a Dabha till 5 AM, hit Chittaurgarh at 9 am and reached Delhi at around 8 PM. All in all a very eventful journey.
Some learnings:
. 24 hours on a bike on this section is possible.
. Expresshighway cops will catch you, 2 wheelers don't try to get in.
. When the cops catch you tell them the truth, don't try to play smart with them or distort any inforamtion. It will work in your favor.
. Carry all your papers and ID's with you.
. Carry telephone numbers of people on the way, you never know when you need them.
. Have cash on you for emergencies like this ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png)
. Watch TBHP threads for latest updates on the routes.
