Point system

ben1406 SG

Is there a change in the demerit point system ?! I just got fined $200 with 8 pts deducted for driving above 20km/hr. I thought that would be 6 pts and $150 fine ?

Anyway, this stealth cam is rubbish ! Driving along a 4 line rd on 50km/hr is full of horse shit ! I'm down to 6 pts for 1 year plus.. time to just park my car @ home n not use it !

devmeister SG

wtf?! driving ABOVE 20km/h or 20km/h ABOVE the speed limit?

wuming78 SG

ben1406 SG

Err.. above the speed limit ?!

kyne SG

You an idiot or trying to act cute?

Hi Very Happy

OverLimit between 20 - 30 KM/H is 6pts, correct leh. I kenna in Feb this year and that's what I got. Was doing 80+ on a 3-lane straight wide road. Kenna orkong then realised that the speed limit is 60. Cannot take it. You kena late at night, right? Daytime nobody follow those ridiculous limits, TP don't even bother to enforce.

Just checked spf website : Still stated as 6 points also.

Assume you already double-check the prinout that the TP punch in the offence correctly?
Call and check. If they make mistake, good chancce to KPKB at them.

Good Luck! Wink

so driving 10 km/h over the speed limit is acceptable? Wink

Joe_Legal SG

Well, I wouldn't say "acceptable" Wink but usually +10 km/h overlimit not enforced, coz detectors are usually scaled down to give some allowance to equipment error.
From what i heard + experience, usually readings of above 20 KM/h overlimit then enforced.. Mr. Green

wuming78 SG

hm.. ok. i usually dont go more than 10 km/h beyond the limit anyway. but what happens when a person is overtaking and he needs to go more than 10 km/h beyond the limit? arguable?

Joe_Legal SG

TP does entertain appeals, but my personal feel is that they may not give this reasoning much chance. Anyways, TP usually not very forgiving when it comes to speeding offences esp if it's not your first speeding offence...

that day i saw the news clip on the TP road blocks operation..accidentally saw their speed camera settings on the camera's LCD screen..the set point is 110km/hr on highway. So that means the camera will only capture u when u goes beyond 110km/hr

hehe..so that means 109km/hr shouldn't be a problem,yea?haha
