theres a speed camera near bukit timah area (quite near to the
only right exit along that stretch of PIE). i have always been
rather careful with it, and in any case i seldom drive more than 10
kmh beyond speed limit. anyway the traffic condition in the morning
usually does not allow anything more. the limit for that stretch of
road is 80 kmh.
this morning (6 something), was driving along PIE. i was driving
along that stretch again. and when i was approaching the camera,
guess what, the camera light flashed! i was shocked and immediately
looked at my speedometer - it read 80 kmh! i was like - what?!
well, even if i could be driving more than 80 kmh just before
approaching the camera, i cant be more than 10 kmh beyond the speed
limit if my speed could be 80 immediately after i got flashed! and
i didnt brake at all!
anyway, just to confirm - the speed camera takes a picture BEFORE
or AFTER the speeding vehicle passes it? (so it takes the front or
the rear of the speeding vehicle?)
and speed cameras are SO unforgiving?!?!
and if i really get a summon, how much fine and how many demerit
points am i looking at? and how, if possible, should i
appeal?
sigh...
