Cop sends SMS while driving
I WAS driving along the ECP towards the airport on Feb 24 at about 9.30am. The road was clear and I was on my way to the Asian Aerospace show.

I was cruising when I noticed a new Subaru WRX traffic police car coming from behind. Being 'kiasu' like most Singaporeans, I changed lanes to get out of the traffic police's way.

The car passed me and I peeked at it to check it out. To my amazement, the policeman driving the car QX 5319 had his mobile phone in hand and he appeared to be sending an SMS message.

Imagine my disbelief and anger. How can the traffic police have double standards? I'm sure that the same laws apply to the traffic police as well, right?

The driver also in the wrong. When driving he should keep his eyes on the road, not on another driver in another car, can even tell what the other driver was doing somemore. Luckily he never say he knew what the contents of the SMS was. Laughing

UandMe SG

When you’re caught, you made a hooha about it. When you’re not caught, you boast about it. Typical Singaporeans

Mothballz SG

sometimes they dont catch cos they are on a case goign to somewhere. not patrolling. hmm yea. oh and they speed too. no lights, no sirens but i gave way to the wrx tp and he juz sped off usually they cruise at speed limit so i follow behind but when i came back to the lane and resumed 90 he was gettign further so i tried 100 and 110 and he still kept going further and further away. but like i siad no lights, no sirens. speed for what.

another case. a police car (not tp but police) took the bus lane durign bus lane operation hours to cut the traffic jam on the other 2 or 3 lanes on upper serangoon road. didn't speed. no lights, no sirens. but i tot mebe he on urgent case but muz be covert ambush that kind. so he continued on the bus lane for 2 or 3 traffic light junctions and guess what.. he then turned into a shell petrol station to pump petrol. i was like.. wth? so pumping petrol is a good reason for driving on the bus lane. i got his license plate number too but didnt report cos forgot the date n time liao. oh well.. i've seen so many but close one eye la they also human being.
