Vulcann 6th Gear June 17, 2011 Share June 17, 2011 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1135688/1/.html Lorry driver arrested for trying to bribe traffic cop Posted: 17 June 2011 1428 hrs SINGAPORE: A 26-year-old lorry driver who was booked for inconsiderate driving thought that he could get away by offering a bribe to a traffic police officer. Police said this happened at about 8.40am on Friday. Corporal Mohammed Fadly observed that a lorry driver was weaving in and out of traffic along Ayer Rajah Expressway towards the direction of East Coast Parkway. He stopped the driver and explained to him that he would be booked for inconsiderate driving. Police said the driver pleaded for leniency and asked Corporal Fadly to let him off. At this juncture, the driver allegedly took out two pieces of S$50 notes, offered them to Corporal Fadly and told the officer not to book him. Police said Corporal Fadly seized the two notes as evidence and arrested the driver for bribery. Police are investigating the driver for inconsiderate driving while the charge of bribery has been referred to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau. - CNA/cc ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear June 17, 2011 Share June 17, 2011 (edited) How can weaving in and out be inconsiderate driving? How often can one change lane and not consider as inconsiderate driving? Weaving in and out of traffic, what traffic did this lorry driver go in and put from? Can fight in court one....no worries.

Weaving in and out of traffic, what traffic did this lorry driver go in and put from? Can fight in court one....no worries. the lorry driver or his company got the legal $$ to fight or not? i'm sure the judge will more likely believe in the cop's words....all the cop needs to say is the lorry forced other vehicles to jam brake while weaving in n out....also, if the lorry went into lane 1, even worse liao....

Hermitage 1st Gear June 17, 2011 Share June 17, 2011 Think the driver may have tried it here before and succeeded. One never knows, everyone has a price right?
