can anyone comment on this? legel? same punishment?

paikuaboi SG

summon la..first timer depend the police lao lan a not loh…he see your face lao lan u tio $$ liao ,if not warning nia…....... put 1 plate also tio same

l3stat SG

one p-plate is as good as no p-plates. think this topic has been discussed before. first time, you get a fine and warning, no idea how much. second time, immediate revocation of license.

as for the one p-plate thing, depends on your acting.. must have that shocked "it-dropped-off?!?!" look... Smile but if the tp kl, then u also ll lar..

1st time: warning and $120 fine
2nd time: Licence revoked

operator SG

TP only need to catch u twice b4 ur license revoke. E.g. If 2 different TP caught u on the same day, but diff timing, u still kana one...

Laksa SG

the 1st time is $120 fine + warning n the 2nd time is $120 + revoke…..this applies to whether u have only 1 p-plate or none at all, anyway just put loh wat’s so difficult with the p-plate on?

Ducati996 SG

i know some ppl think put p plate on bike not chio not stylo, especially if racer. i ride phantom i dont care bout looks just put the p plate. to me just 4 looks not worth $120 or worse still revoke.
but wat i find problem is not bout looks, i question its effectivenes. most drivers i see dont treat probation riders any differently. there is of course this minority which i noticed actually treated me a little nicer when they see my p plate. then again, theres also this black minority which actually like to eat probation riders, especially the @#%$ taxi drivers. donno how many times kena overtake by them without them changing lane like macam they the bike i the car. is this plate realli effective u guys think?

Even w/o the p-plate, some drivers think that bikes are a bunch of slow-moving machines and they do the same thing as well; once i got fed up w/ this lady driving a merc who juz cut into my lane (i was going at 90 in the centre lane) as if I was too slow... I throttled my bike and zoomed past her and she quietly slowed down and didn't dare to overtake me anymore Very Happy

Ducati996 SG

i'm still probation rider, still new, although i travel fast i still dont weave in and out of traffic like seasoned riders. most of time i keep up with car in front of me, same speed, problem is often on normal road i give bout 1 and half to 2 car length from front car coz i know too close front car jam brake i donno i ride the bike or the bike ride me Very Happy exprsway even longer safety distance accordingly.
bloody cars always see i small small leave nice gap in front of me enuff 4 them to occupy will always slid past and cut suddenly in front of me as if i damn slow. they alwiz dont realize i realli same speed as vehicle in front, they onli see the gap and feel uneasy as if i wasting country's resources. some more one time one taxi did this to me skali the champion's rear bumper got sticker:
KEEP SAFETY DISTANCE

intelinside SG

That's why when i first got license i always ride in left n centre lane.. but after a few mnts i got really fed-up with drivers especially lorries n truck that tail-gate me until like wan to kiss my rear even though i going 90km/h.So i now ride only in right lane. Although speed faster around at least 110, u only need to look out for traffic in front in case e-brake , no need scare cars weaving in from left or right.

noel46 SG

P-plate no matter how oso must put. Why let the tp earn your $$ tio bo?
Even though its true dat some drivers like look down on p-plate riders/drivers..but ccb they never think dat they at one time oso p-plate nia, right? Everybody sure got p-plate experience one lor so lets not look down or bully these riders/drivers...

AhTooT SG

oh very simple..
u riding on the road happily..
then tp ride beside u/..
ask u to stop at the side..
then the next moment u noe u kena slapped by a $120 summon..(thats for first offence)
second offence..license kena gandung..haiz..
suay man,...(personal experience...)

By the way hor ... P-plate also got cheong one leh ... I din know this when I bought one. Got those type of P-plates, look a bit smaller in size, but like those flash stickers ... I bought my P-plate from LAB for $8. Then after a few weeks the 'sticker' started to fade.
The original one is 3M's type. Solid fluooscent colour. Dun think they'll ever fade (I never tried them before). But those are a bit more expensive.

So just be aware of this ....

aaron017 SG

Go buy 3M one lah... $10 .... till now haven't fade... only got fly away and stolen nia...

nismoS132 SG

becoz your 110 = cars'/others' 90~100.

nismoS132 SG

actually. the 1st time kena caught is warning, 2nd time caught is fine, 3rd time caught is revoke.

or maybe they changed the system before. becoz i got a friend kena caught by TP b4 for having only 1 p plate.
at 1st TP issue him the summon one, then my fren told him 1st time should be warning mah, not summon. then the TP lan lan cancelled the summon and issued him an official warning.

$1.95 nia... mai ke kao lah...
