P.S. For traffic accident investigations, I guess the "most logical" explanation will be "SPEEDING" instead of "dangerous driving", "road hogging", "failure to keep to lane", "irresponsible pedestrains" etc.....
Well....guess we'll never know....if TP PR dept wants to treat the public like kids...so be it. We can't do anything can we.

Like I said...we all the extra enforcement that they have done and they only reduce 9 cases only....that would means that the old way of patrol by bikes, BMWs, Volvo and Vespa are ineffective. Maybe they should consider retrenching the patrol staff so that they can put more cams on the road to further reduce the fatality rate.

While it is agreed that speeding kills....I still strongly believe its the NUT holding the steering wheel is the No.1 killer....undisputed.

Was driving home yesterday when a Boxster pulled into the lane next to me. Looked over and what do I see? A lanyard and a ID card hanging from his rearview mirror that read....wait for it.....TRAFFIC POLICE!!!!

Any more questions on why they need to work overtime booking people for speeding?
