This morning I was caught in the ECP jam towards AYE. I was on the left most lane. There were a lot of cars who actually went on the road shoulder (hope that I got the term correct. Basically they were driving on the left of me while I was already on the left most lane) to overtake everyone and then try to squeeze back.

 

It was very irritating. I was in half a mind to get my wife to video them down and send to the traffic police.

 

Do you think the traffic police will take action against these cars if I really did that?

Confession, I do that only if I am exiting off the expressway (not more than 5 cars length away) and the traffic is like a deadstill.

What is the fine for driving on the road shoulder? Is it $1000? Maybe can get some of those enforcers who looks after the bus lanes to come and look after the expressway road shoulders.

talking about driving on road shoulder.

 

last saturday afternoon while driving my kid to lesson on the stretch of CTE between amk ave 3 and ave 1.

i was already rushing for time. as usual, jam appear after ave 3. i was at the leftmost lane already. a kia zoom pass using the road shoulder, i was so tempted to just follow and drove on the road shoulder since i will be taking the next exit at amk ave 1.

 

somehow i decided against and heng that i did not did that. someway down the road, the kia stopped and infront of the car was a motor-cycle with LTA words. the LTA guy was booking the driver. if i had follow and drove on the road shoulder, i will also kenna.

 

what is the penalty for driving on road shoulder?

It only takes one fellow to do something like this and soon u'll see a whole bunch of jokers to follow suit. [laugh]

 

Funny thing is that I see a lot of motorbikes do that but nobody could care less.

 

I think we'll see more of it in future when more cars are being squeezed into our roads.

This sort of humbuggery happens simply because of middle and left lane hoggers that have no consideration for other road users leave BIG GAPS on the road in front of them. They are every bit as inconsiderate as those who weave in and out of traffic, rather, this is at the other end of the spectrum.

 

As for exits, I guess thats pretty normal for pple to cut left into the shoulder earlier, except for some self-righteous @#%! that we all know off.."WAH..DOING THAT IS WRONG! I TELL TP HOR!" yeah our balls all shrinking in my pants...

 

Of course, if we are talking about habitual people who use the hard shoulder on a regular basis, peak hour or not, for no reason, then they are just asking for it lah. For those people, not to worry. Surveillance cameras can catch your car if you are not careful. Confirm tio one..coming from someone who actually kena b4... [lipsrsealed]

It is an offence to drive on the road shoulder even in jam.

CTE b4 AVE 5 sometime jam and some ppl like to use it.

Once I was on the extreme left lane when it jam and 2 car used the shoulder.

Suddenly I saw them turning out because there as a TP bike in front.

I hope they have been booked [rifle][rifle]
