KARTer 2nd Gear October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (edited) Date / time: 27 Oct Thur 9pm Where: ECP in front of MBS towards west coast I was coming down the Sheares bridge in lane 2, speed: about 80kmh A dark 5-series overtook me in lane 1, tailgated by a white volvo SUV number plate SGX something.... the two cars were just 1m apart both going at about 100kmh As the suv passed me, it moved closer to my door mirror!! and by then 1 noticed the blue blinking lights from its rear windscreen plus digital signboard behind this screen flashing "POLICE -- CLEARANCE -- THANK YOU" repeatedly.... then the SUV continued with its left wheels riding over the line (ie into land 2) but the car body was still riding in lane 1, tailgating the beemer...... I was curious:- was the suv escorting the beemer in front? but if yes, shouldnt the escort veh go in front of the 'host'??? I got more curious, so i sped up and went side by side with the beemer and peeped inside; the front passeger who looked like a thug stared back hard at me.... i took note of the number plate: nothing special, an ordinary SJB something............. Then i went ahead and moved into lane 1 in front of the two cars but kept a decent gap..... at this point the SUV started flashing hi beam behind the beemer.... as if to ask me F off??!! I moved back to lane 2, slowed down and let them pass..... the two continued at 100kmh like a train with only 1m between their bumpers... Anyone knows why the SUV tailgated, is this a common pattern between 'host' and police escort, or between two mata chias?? Maybe they are practising something??

OmOm 5th Gear October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 It is to prevent other cars from cutting in between the two. The SUV escort can lose sight of the escorted car if that happens.

Actually, with its blinking "POLICE" lights, who dares to cut in between them??...... could it be that the beemer was just another car who die die insisted to stick to 100kmh in lane 1 'blocking' the mata SUV which wasnt not in a hurry but decided to tailage just for fun??

Silver_blade Turbocharged October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 That's 'normal'. When nearing traffic junction, the SUV will even drive between 2 lanes...and rear doors will open if any cars get too close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilatz 1st Gear October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 That kind of escort is dpm and above. Just move aside and let them pass. They tio speed camera also bo saman. You block their way....well I dunno what will happen but maybe some people visit you and ask drink kopi for small talk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (edited) The white volvo has been talked about umpteen times. I'm surprised ppl got the courage(or the lack of brains) to move in closer for a peek. I won't be surprised if the occupants pull out M16s and start shooting.

Darthrevan Supercharged October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 i saw 2 TP bikes cut a swath through thick traffic to make way for a white volvo SUV to clear..possibly a XC90..the traffic lights was red and the TP make sure the all traffic at the cross junction stopped..later all 3 vehicles went in a road leading to a church Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Have seen variants like the XC60 as well. the TPs act as the sweeper V common when they go up north to celebrate hariraya and when they convoy back along SLE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit 1st Gear October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 I ever encountered such a scenario at at Mandai and upz BKE.. The car infront is a laopok chia volvo driven by an angmoh.. changing lanes crazily.. The white escort just followed behind and waved - akin to apologize to other roadusers for the dangerous stunt on the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
