Ahtong 1st Gear May 14, 2010 Share May 14, 2010 Why is it the officers catching bus lane violaters need to hide behind a tree? Why is it officers with speed cams must ambush from overhead bridges? Now there are even reports of TP in plain clothes. Why can't people doing 官 work be 光明正大 and announce their pressence? I ask this question because I am pondering the root principle behind traffic enforcement. Is it to prevent accidents or to make money? Is the sneaky method employed because the govt thinks we are very childish? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca 1st Gear May 14, 2010 Share May 14, 2010 It serves the purpose of preventing accidents. If the TP becomes proficient at hiding enough, and that we become paranoid enough, we'll stop violating the rules ourselves entirely. Instead of 'Hey, look, no TP/cameras around. I'll go faster/run the red light/moon at other drivers'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahtong 1st Gear May 14, 2010 Author Share May 14, 2010 Paranoid driver is speeding. He jams brake when he sees a TP hiding behind the bush. The above is how the system currently works. Wouldn't it cause more accidents than it prevents? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safetyleo Neutral Newbie May 14, 2010 Share May 14, 2010 why we want to commit traffic offence? It's nothing wrong if we don't commit traffic offence...whenever, where ever they hide, it's alright... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it cause more accidents than it prevents? a speeder will always jam brake when he see a TP with or without them hiding [:p] if want to speed, do it 光明正大 and get a ticket for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk 1st Gear May 14, 2010 Share May 14, 2010 Why is it the officers catching bus lane violaters need to hide behind a tree? Why is it officers with speed cams must ambush from overhead bridges? Now there are even reports of TP in plain clothes. Why can't people doing 官 work be 光明正大 and announce their pressence? I ask this question because I am pondering the root principle behind traffic enforcement. Is it to prevent accidents or to make money? Is the sneaky method employed because the govt thinks we are very childish? No ambush, no hiding behind a tree, no uniform = No summons = bo lui Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you could ponder another root principle - would a driver violate the law openly knowing that a law enforcer is in the open? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
