If that BC bothered to save the victim form the verge of death...

Thought his way of doing so can escape from the law, but sadly is not....

Hello, 79 years old ah pek leh, he probably suffered from fright + multiple fracture (With his old and fragile bone) = confirm plus chop will die one without the need to follow the BMW incident in China, the question is will he die on scene or the nearest available hospital. Thats all.

This kind of thing is a 2-way one. Ppl always thought at midnight can anyhow cross the road especially no cars, SLs speed like no-ones business when it comes to midnight, especially chinese nationals beware they like to chiong the road like nobodys business.

Down to all, who can we blame?

in e first place can buses be speeding in Singapore?

oh nose, speed limiter not working...

(majority of the S'poreans generally don't have the guts to speed though, only Chinese nationals do, and they treat asif the roads belong to them.

I remember it took 178 about 59 minutes to reach Boon Lay from Woodlands, driven by a chinese national. (2nd last bus)

a local driven one,(last bus) I almost missed my bus home though.

which SMRT SL wun resort to speeding with the quality of schedule planned?

not i wanna dig, even SMRT's train schedule is getting unreliable. 5 - 1 - 1 arrival at BNL every morning.

Result? Sudden spike in passengers waiting at BNL + the problem at platform escalator. Train arriving though escalator still w/ like 100 commuters.

Htok22 SG

what will they do to the driver?

Local ones won't dare to speed, At most they do OS thats all from the original interchange.

But china ones I don't dare to guarantee.

Most probably licence revoked though.

actually the schedules of employee buses can be quite tight. drivers also tend to want to clear their trips faster since they can have more break time.

Not just SBS bus drivers are from China.

There is growing nos of garbage truck drivers from China.

Ppl should also be careful of garbage trucks while crossing the road.

Saw these garbage truck speed demons before.

Esp those ****** and *********** drivers too.

Maybe they defuse the speed limiter.

SembCorp should have automatic transmission garbage trucks like buses.

prevents them from speeding

sorry for off topic

cheers. :D

dun understand why you keep pointing fingers to the Chinese nationals/BC? are you sure most of the singaporeans BC/driver dun have the guts to speed? U take China BC bus and it let you go home fast, you complain. You take singaporean's BC bus and you miss your bus you also complain.... if scare miss bus then DUN TAKE LAST BUS.

For your information, for vocational related vehicles, there are rarely automatic transmission vehicles with a notable exception is omnibuses (Public buses).

BTW, the reason for it is:

1: Automatic tranmission ones generally consumes more fuel due to unnecessary / inefficient mechanism in the gearing

2: Old vehicles. Last time already very rare to see one such.

3: Afterall, all vocational license requires Class 3 and not 3A before you can even think of it. Yes, including intentions to drive an automatic transmission Taxis. It can be found on SPF / TP website.

Oh well, a bonus tip:

No, whether is it automatic or manual transmission, it wont matter for speeding issues so long as the limiter is installed and in working condition. I saw service 985, can chiong like 65km/h which is damn shiok on PIE.

The limiter doesnt actually limit the speed, but simply warns the driver with beeps when exceeding the speed limit.

There is. The older Euro2/3 Fuso trucks with fixed body came with Allison auto gearbox. Most Isuzus do as well.

The newer Mercedes Benz Actros came with Telligent semi-automatic gearbox.

I beg to differ. Try taking NR services. I'm not sure if the driver was a malaysian or a local, but he was well running above 70km/h on PIE/BKE on NR3 and drives on corners at HIGH SPEED. I can assure you guys he aint a chinese national.

Instead, i enjoy taking buses driven by most chinese nationals. Altho they drive fast, they are confident but not too over. A well known racer once said "its not always trusting your own skills when it comes to racing(in this case its driving), sometimes you have to trust the vehicle your having your hands on."

No wonder I had seen buses travelling at around 65km/h in expressway. (The speedometer shows almost hitting 70km/h but as a passenger view, it might be an error and hence I factored it to 65kph)

tat's SWD for light goods vehicle.

speed limiter will limit the speed once it hits abv e calibrated speed.

sbst275 SG

the tendency to purchase manual transmission is due to torque/ power and cost of maintenance.
