| My 2 cents worth... if really wanna stop ppl from speeding, TP must be visible at all times, must be easily spotted, so motorists see them will sure slow down... wats the point of catching ppl when preventing ppl from speeding is so much better?
like catching drunk driving... why put road blocks on highway (just waiting for something to happen) when in fact they can always set up their check points at the carparks near the night spots or night clubs?
Things can be done better lah... it depends on what is they main objective... |

| I noted that they did not state the actual speed that was captured. If it is speed trap, they would indicate the speed that was lasered.
Could it be those unmarked car that you may have zoomed past?

| I'm sorry but I have to say this.
With the countless accidents on the roads and the reckless driving by many, I welcome any and all actions taken by the police to curb speeding drivers. I'm not sympathetic to anyone who is caught speeding and driving in a dangerous fashion. Trying to save yourself 5 minutes may mean putting at risk the lives of others. And, it is often the case that the reckless driver is spared the wrath of the accident while the innocent ones end up in the hospital or worse.

| There was once. At orchard boulevard, behind takashimaya
There was a lexus suv. RX300 then. He was driving behind a motorcycle.
The motorcycle suddenly jammed brake and swerve into the pavement next to takashimaya where all the motorbikes like to park
The driver of the lexus, in order to avoid hitting the bike, swerve the other direction. Lost control of his car. Car made 3 full spins and smashed into a traffic light lamp post
2 jap ladies standing near the traffic light was left in shock. The lexus almost hit them
The motorbike rider simply park, got off his bike and walk away.
I was watching this from my car all the while |

I think in such situation, the Lexus driver will still be penalized albeit he may not be entirely at fault because he was not supposed 2 tail-gate ... if he is driving at 60kmh (speed limit for that road), he would be able to avoid the accident and brake in time ... And, he should be alert at all time while on the road.

| TP has got their job to do and how they do it is up to them....but of course i believe it would be within the constraints of the law. On our part, when we get our driving license, it is our responsibility to upkeep the etiquette and rules of the road. Sometimes when we see cheongster speeding...TP no where to be seen. We speed abit only...."Cop on Top" It's all about being at the wrong place at the wrong time...bo pian. I can understand the frustration of getting a ticket the way bro andrew got. But take it easy la bro.... take it like as if we kena fine for all the other times we are speeding. Have a good weekend and happy holidays. Drive safe everyone! |

| Your actually angry with the traffic police for entrapping you ? If you want to talk about playing fair and having integrity. Why not everytime you speed or break the law you go and own up at the police station . Maybe then you ll have the right to tell the traffic police to let you know when and where they are going to be positioned Bloody heartlander mentality. Hope it helps HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!! |
