Shocked

Date:today
Time:1620
Location Razz IE heading towards Changi, behind Clementi Camp.

I saw a convoy of armored vehs moving at very fast speed. I thought during peace time ops, all SAF vehs must follow speed limit of 50kph? And how come they are allowed to travel on expressway? Shocked

alexkusu SG

Manager433 SG

Cool

Gordonator SG

Fatshort SG

Its allow but SWD kept running only...

ditzy SG

Got no directive that say cannot leh. Laughing

mhcampboy SG

There is a directive that says, during exercise vehicle convoys are not allowed on expressways. Must use old roads. Dunno true or not...

Quinsy SG

SWD beep 3 times and you’re out.

Gordonator SG

usually they will get civilian trailers to ferry the armored vehicles from camps to camps (assuming they are not very big).

reason being it's faster this way and won't be weird seeing these vehicles moving on the roads.

mhcampboy SG

Cant be. SAF emphasize on SAFETY. if speed... then accident how.. Very Happy

Gordonator SG

trailers won't speed i can assure u that. Laughing

kwlee SG

so now, what road is new and what road is old... Laughing

KoolKool SG

I must be an old soldier ............ it was 10 times beep, followed by one jump in number on the SWD. Then, you are out.

Fatshort SG

ur not old... its still stay at 10 times... ah gan driver will tap the break at the 8-9 beep... especially minibus....

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

Just get out of the way when you see one headed for you.

DarthBart SG

Don't think got such a directive la...
If got ah... It'll take my unit 3hrs to travel from Selarang to LCK training area liao...

Manager433 SG

Its a long convoy of V200. Different color flags hang onto its antena. Got white, red etc etc. Not too sure if there are Bronco coz partially block by the trees. Last veh is a 5Tonner. One thing for sure, they are all speeding Laughing

Gordonator SG

regarless NPNT rule still apply here. why didn't u take pics? Laughing

Manager433 SG

Because I'm working lah. Location pretty near to the expressway and the moment I heard some funny engine sound, I turn and look and saw that convoy. Think they r heading back to camp after live fire ex because in the morning can hear boom boom boom. If at nite, can even hear live firing as far as SAFTI.......... GPMG, 84, AMX etc etc.

There is such a directive but normally unit COs do't bother unless you are talking about ATEC.

As for Armoured vehicles on expressway, only wheeled A vehicles are alloedd and they do not have SWD to begin with. Bronco is definetly out cos it is a tracked vehicle unless GSI and ROV issue special permit. The new V200 is a soild vehicle. Can accelerate from 0 to 70 in 12 seconds. Utilisng allision Automatic gear box, same as the 5 tonners.

Cheers!!
