Appeal To The Traffic Police

[piggyboyz]

Can someone also tell them that if they empathise so much on saving lives, maybe they can set up a procedure that whenever they stop a vehicle, their police vehicle should be at the rear so that the bright oscillation light can serve as a hazard warning to the oncoming traffic on our narrow road shoulder.....

Kenntona,

Indeed..it's great to see the SPF finally agreeing to the petition. Power to the people!

Alan,
Since you want to put it like that...might as well, all TP vehicles drive with that big yellow crash bumper thing attached to their boot.

BUT - do you think they will waive my summon due in 30 March?

What the TP says and what they do will be different. Nothing will change, you will still be driving on a nice road and suddenly a TP officer will jump out from nowwhere and book you for speeding..

You can't beat the system, you can only beat yourself..do the right thing..buy a slow car..like me..Getz..swee swee..

Hey they declined hiding in overhead bridges right? What about the picture someone posted of the TPs shooting their laser toys at the overhead bridge infront of Serangoon Gardens Shopping Centre?

I think the previous guy kena screwed for creating all these bad publicity in the past few months. Hence, they brought in this new lady to soften the issue.

Think that moron was too eager to justify for his coming pay increment and promotion.

I think the list of places will be updated from time to time.
I agree that it's so ambigious (perhaps intentionally) that I wouldn't find it a useful guide.

Of course actual warnings/signs along these roads would be most helpful. Whether they will appear remains to be seen...

TP giving way...I still have my doubts.

Anyway...my point of the laser cam is....how do TP define speeding. The fact that their state of the art cam can shoot 3 frames per sec makes no sense. If the motorist is just overtaking the car and his speed goes up for a few seconds....do you take that as speeding as well ??? Or are they out to nab speedster who drives at a above speed limit without regards ??

I think most of the people booked belong to the former. Why dun they release the stats on how many pple were booked for what. What is the point of telling us that the Bukit Timah Rd FTD is set by a Toyota Altis doing 124kmh....is that the general speed that they clock most pple doing or its just another one in thousand ?

What I suggest is that they work like US H'way patrol do...one spotter will spot the suspected speedster...inform of the mobile cam which car to shoot....and then whack the bugger. Not point their laser at a car...track it for 1 sec and determine that motorist is speeding.

IMHO....the article is talking cock....TP job is to save life ?? Then what is the doctor's job...reading newspaper ?? What a joke....treating the public like children....the PR Dept should be shot for allowing such a comment.
