Caught driving slowly past ERP Gantry

highbury SG

Dear all,

I was caught driving past slowly at the ERP gantry by a traffic police one minute before the erp charges goes off. Do you guys know how much the fine will be and will there be any demerit points?

Many thanks for you in put.

Be truthful here.. are u sure u are "caught driving past slowly at the ERP gantry "? OR did u park at the side.. wait for ERP to go off and was caught by TP's CCTV camera?? Laughing

Parking at the side is bad.. but if you were really "caught driving past slowly at the ERP gantry".. u are a BLOODY INCONSIDERATE ROAD HOGGER!!!! Evil or Very Mad

The TP is being unreasonable.

siaokao SG

May I ask how u come to this conclusion?

ecac SG

now mininum speed at expressway stands at 60KM/H… but with valid reason u can drive slower then that. ie heavy rain, tyre puncture change to spare tyre.

Is it? But I didn't see any min speed sign on the e'ways. Only got max speed sign.

I saw him taking out a piece of paper and then staring at my plate number and writing it down. I am driving a car but in the end still I need to pay the ERP charges cos when I reached the gantry, its still in operation.

Hey you not happy then dont reply, what you mean by "BLOODY INCONSIDERATE"? Are you being very considerate replying this way!!!!!

Rexdriver SG

In Singapore, everyone obeys the traffic laws as if they are commandments from god, and if you breach any of them, you're condemned.

Either that or everyone is in a state of denial of their own actions.

Or plainly constipated.

siaokao SG

Kindly advice, in what way is my reply inconsiderate?

Is it not fact that driving slowly to avoid ERP charges and in doing so hog up traffic is being inconsiderate (a road hogger)?? Rolling Eyes

tofushop193 SG

well for this i agree with siaokao...i hate road hoggers...unless they are in some situation that make them road hog

iveco SG

Maybe he forgot to insert cashcard, so he slowed down in order to put it in the IU. Confused

Totally agree. I've seen countless drivers, friends included boast how safe they drive and curse at other "reckless" and rules disobeying drivers when they themselves are doing the same thing.

Everyone experiences road rage either from others or with themselves all the time. Just that when they experience it themselves, they deny it and blame it on other drivers. Just look at your dad, you'll see.
