If I understand correctly, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant wants to (re)make Goa the tourist capital of India. I will advice the Goa government to do some "housekeeping" in the companies that deal with tourism. I rented via an online site (Rent a bike) a motorbike for 7 days. 15 km after Margao on NH 66 in the direction of Canacona, the police stopped me, asked me for my license and told me that it was illegal to drive bike with a white plate. Of course, being a foreigner, I didn't know that a rented vehicle must have a yellow plate. Finally I went by motorcycle to the police station. I explained my situation to the policeman in charge, he himself phoned the company and finally the POC came. I still have to recover Rs1,000 given for the reservation. I want to say that the police didn't ask me anything and really helped me. I request the government of Goa to take quick measures so that these kind of problems do not happen again. Or at least, make a small brochure for foreigners explaining to them the traps they should not fall in.
