Mayhem_vehicles Neutral Newbie July 7, 2007 Share July 7, 2007 (edited) How many time have we seen commercial vehicle occupying the faster lanes and cruising at 60km/h or speeding above 80km/h on the faster lanes. They are getting bolder & bolder by the day. What my passenger and me saw today really takes the cake. Date : 7/7/07 Time : 12:11pm This driver was ridiculous. The van even had a "SINGAPORE POST" sticker on his front bonnet. He drove on the fast lane along the PIE from Steven Road exit towards Changi on the fast lane tailgating cars speeding past 100km/h at times !! There were huge bellows of smoke from his exhaust (see picture). Witnessed this till Paya Lebar exit when I turned off, he was still driving in same manner. The pictures tell the story. SO what is the root of the problem : - LTA for raising their speed limit of commercial ? - TP for low enforcement of 60km/h speed limit of commercial vehicles with their fleet of WRX, Super bikes and speed radars ? - Extremely poor social ettiquette of commercial vehicle drivers ? This reminds me of Jarkata where busses, lorries & trailer are seen speeding on the fast lane past 100km/h. Is Singapore in the making to deteriorate to that someday *** From MCF Admin: Pictures deleted because number plates in photo are not masked out. Please mask out and repost if necessary.

Fcw75 Hypersonic July 7, 2007 Share July 7, 2007 Is he obstructing u? No rite, since there's a car right in front of him and he's keeping up with the flow. Even if he's exceeding the speed limit, let the authorities deal with him. You never serve NS? Never heard of 'do whatever u want, juz dun get caught'. U r juz buay song he is on the first lane and obstructing your view. Give commercial vehicles a break man. This topic has been discusses till rotten oready. Even if they decrease the speed limit of commercial vehicles, you tink it will solve the problem? Dun tell me the speed limit is 90km/h but u never exceeded the limit b4, never drove at 110-120km/h b4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem_vehicles Neutral Newbie July 7, 2007 Author Share July 7, 2007 Even action is taken on this 1 particular driver, it doesn't change the bahaviour of the rest. The law enforcers have to implement it widely on the street else it gets far worst. They are making a big deal on drink driving now, how many dare to drive while DUI? I seriously wonder how long and how much worst the situation will become before action is taken. Or after a few lives are taken maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosszero Turbocharged July 7, 2007 Share July 7, 2007 Lots of STOMPers would then be termed as whistler blowers. It just depends on whether you agree with what they're doing or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
