A Getgo Mazda 3 was caught on camera speeding over the road speed limit of 60km/h and overtaking the camcar that was traveling under the speed limit at 55km/h. Watch the video for yourself below 293530692_956129985780000_1463920411778136038_n.mp4 The video begins with footage of cam car travelling along Yuan Ching Road. At around the 0.02 mark, a Getgo Mazda 3 appears out of nowhere, zooms past and overtakes the cam car at a speed that exceeds the regulated speed limit of 60km/h, breaking traffic laws. The Mazda 3 was speeding as if it was in a fast and furious movie. Maybe there's a lack of responsibility with a car that’s not owned by the driver? What's the penalty? For speeding, the getgo driver can be fined an amount of up to $150 to $300 for minor speeding-related offenses. However, if the speed limit is exceeded by 40km/h, repeat offenders can potentially be jailed to a duration of up to 10 years. Your licence will also be revoked in the process, and you may be permanently barred from driving. Demerit points are also awarded to the driver according to the speed limit that he/she exceeds. Just don’t speed lah! Netizen Comments Netizens have expressed their take on the situation, mocking and criticizing the Getgo driver, though some have concurring opinions that the camcar was hogging lanes. Personally, I believe that the Getgo driver should punished severely for exceeding the speed limit. It is precisely this kind of irresponsible behavior that leads to fatal and irreversible road accidents. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.
