Another 'something' to do with the car... incident

Well as usual with my perfect driving skills I got stopped by a what i thought was a 'postman' on a motorcycle! hehe....
I was rushing to BSC (bangsar shopping complex) at 1.30pm to meet Sue and her friend, Kah ming and i missed the turning to go into the parking, that was because it was my first time going there by myself and on top of that I never go there at all!
So instead i went on straight and tried to look for somewhere i could turn to make a U turn. Down the road at quite a busy street i took a right turn where there was a huge yellow box drawn on the ground and stopped right at the first house I saw to take a u turn back to the mall. Sounds complicating I know.... Well when i stopped there was the policeman in blue on a motorcycle and he stopped asking me to show my licence... Well thank god i did have a licence if not that would b triple the charge... And he said that I have broken 3 rules of which until now I havnt figured all 3 out because he was speaking sooo fast in malay and something i couldnt make out in english... All i heard at the end was that Satu charge Rm300 so Three charges is rm 900... I was like what the ***k is this for real!???? I was soo scared and i kinda tried out fake crying that didnt come out right... Probably if there was anyone with me he/she would be laughing out loud at the expression on my face!
Well to continue I was like asking him for another chance etc but he just said in malay 'How do u want me to deal with this then'?? I didnt know he wanted me to bribe him so I said 'I dunno' haha and finally after about 4 times of repitition i said i have rm 60 with me now and thats all... He said 'get into the car dan bagi saya rm 50'.... and i was like wow that was easy.......

Soon after he just ran off and I was still scared shitless! I thought to myself he was definitely cheating me with the charges and he also knew that i wasnt from around here. Well lets just say that was all the money i had and its gone ! :(

One thing though that i didnt understand was why was he talking to a guy on the walkie talkie about my situation. Like: 'Dia on holiday sini dan dia break 3 rules', 'dia boleh bagi rm50 saja'... Actually I was thinking it would be a better idea for me to have checked whether he was a real police man or not! Well thank god I got my licence back :)....

This is still nothing compared that being a victim of a snatch thief!
