LTA absent as PMDs endanger others by speeding on an expressway

PMDs may be somewhat affordable, but if you're not careful they can cost you your life. Like these guys may find out soon enough. 

What happened?

A camcar was travelling on East Coast Parkway (ECP) at 2am in the morning yesterday when it cam across a gang of PMD riders speeding on the expressway. 

There was at first only one rider in view on the cam car’s left before a second zoomed past into the footage.

A third soon zoomed from the camcar’s right.

Speeding in a PMD on an expressway is two crimes in one as a PMD is not authorised for use on roads. The punishments for which are being fined up to $2,000 and/or jail time of up to 3 months.

Online chatter. 

Plenty of people were criticising the PMD drivers, but they also criticised the government for not catching these riders as they endanger others as well.

While dark, others told traffic police to get blue tents ready for the riders.

As someone with a dark sense of humour I laughed.

Kinda true, enforcement officers have office hours too. Work life balance.
 

So I guess it’s time for laser beam satellite AI enforcements. Lol

To be honest, there is really no way the law or enforcement can catch such reckless PMDs at anytime. Really no way. 

These riders only have their own responsibility to account for their own safety.

If it just involves these irresponsible riders themselves,we need not care the least. Let them be self-eliminated. Unfortunately, it involves all other road users!

AMAP/LTA/BYK PLease take note,!

Maybe we should relook n rethink of PMD as the way to reduce the burden on public transportation. I am even thinking having LTA trial run or have some petrolling done by men in blue using pmd

  • Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi

    A right-handers world

    I was mid-way through a bike ride in Ladahk, feeling the ache in my right hand, when a thought occurred to me: “Huh, how come the throttle is always on the right side of all bikes?”  Statistically, about 90% of people in the world are right-handed. Full disclosure: I am right-handed, part of this largely ignorant majority.  And if you think about it, some things are designed clearly with that in mind.  Throttle on a motorcycle? Right hand. Accelerator pedal in a car? Right f

    CSI Miami, you are missed

    When the original CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) first aired in 2000, I was intrigued. There had been plenty of police dramas prior to CSI, but this was the first one I watched that was focussed on forensics. From DNA to Luminol sprays to blood spatter to bullet striations, using science to unravel the mystery of a crime and compiling concrete evidence to convict criminals made for good storytelling. However, CSI was visually dark as the team featured in the show worked the night shif
