Delhi airport prepaid taxis: new complaint cards

I noticed last week in Delhi that once you have booked your pre-paid taxi from the arrivals hall and have found a taxi, all taxis are stopped by police, and the drivers ID and the passenger's destination are noted. Then the police had a Traffic Complaint Card to the passengers, which you can send in to the traffic police if you have any complaints. You can use this for complaints about any taxi or bus in Delhi.
This being India, the list of complaints you can select on the card are interesting:
- misbehaviour by driver
- refusal to take to destination
- faulty metre
- overcharging
- dangerous driving
- too many passengers
- playing music or using pressure horn (!)

Looks like they missed out :

- Impromptu shoping trips
- Full knowledge of all the Hotels that have CLOSED down
- Actually NOT knowing where their destinatioin is but carrying on anyway
...

I'm sure there are many more.. how many pages are these 'complaint' cards

That one's my favorite. The best part is that you always do end up getting wherever you are going. Even if it takes several stops, two phone calls and more than an hour. And maybe even an extra cycle rickshaw wallah to take you those last 300 steps before you get completely and utterly lost. Pretty close. Ah Delhi.
