Yes, the government in our state can take away the very car you are driving! Tomorrow is election day in our city for India's nationwide elections going on since mid April until end of May. It takes that long to cover the whole country, county by county in every state. This means that all the policitally-connected people need to get around town, and there are more of them than available, luxury vehicles. So they have legalized temporary, private vehicle seizure. Usually they want the bigger cars, so compact and subcompacts are safe. Since we use taxiz and transport from the office, we have no problem. Well, except that the car they send is sometimes not AC. Did I mention that it was 107 degrees F a few days ago?
Anyway, the police can pull you over and write up an order for your vehicle. They do return it, but no gurantees on its condition.
All this makes life here even more of an adventure!
Pray for the elections, ok? Thanks.
