You should be aware that speeding is an offense and well ... like many other have said, i shall not add anymore but i see that you are kind of like me in the...

gasband SG

true, 50km/h also can kill people.

But tell me, 50km/h and 135km/h, do you know the difference in the braking distance even if you do e brake? We are not talking abt instant stopping but at 135km/h, even if you brake immediately, you still might kill someone because it will have a longer braking distance. but at 50km/h, if you e brake, at least you have a higher chance. I am sure you are smart enuff to know that.

Normal saloons can do 135 quite stably wat...

I know it's against the law but the focus point here is that it is dangerous. He was asking whether he knows the consequences of driving at 135, which i don't think is sufficient to make a car lose control and cause an accident.

kyne SG

The point here is do you need to do an ebrake when a motorcycle cuts into your lane(if there is even a chance of it happening at a time when the traffic is very light and where do you find a rider who wants to commit suicide).

My point in making that statement is because of his analogy of "what would happen if a motorcycle suddenly cuts into his lane".
If a motorcycle were to cut in suddenly, it does not matter whether you are travelling at 90 or 135. It depends on the difference in the speed between the motorcyle and your vehicle so I used the pesdestrian as an example.

I just find his argument very weak and it seems to me that he just wants to have a share of scolding the P-plate driver.

I haven't left sg for that long. not even 3 months yet. I got a speeding fine 2 days b4 I left sg, and from what I've see in the last few months when I was in sg and from what I've heard subsequently, its really strict nowadays. I don't have to secretly come back, u Goondu. Laughing
as for that new rule, when I got my fine, I didn't fall foul of it yet so as far as I'm concerned, that was implemented AFTER I've left sg.

i am very new to this forum but all i can say is that im speechless when i read all the comments,before i further the text i would like to say that the one who got caught for speeding is my boyfriend

i have been together with him for almost half a year now and all this while he has never done anything silly such as speeding or whatso ever....he has the temptation but never done it.but that morning,he was on the way back home when i called him urgently,i needed help,i wasnt feeling well...guess he panicked and just rushed to my house.

imagine how would you feel if you were me...when i opened the door and heard the incident,i was so dissapointed that i just could faint straight away...for those who drive..maybe can you imagine that it was so not worth it to lose your license and points deducted like that....thats what i scolded him also....

but sometimes,we asked for help,not for hot and spicy comments,i felt really heartbroken when i happened to read this,my boyfriend never told me that he posted this and asked for help online,actually it's nothing much but there were just times when we needed people's support isnt it??

for those that had same experienced,all of us did certain mistakes and had our reasons,im saying this not that i wanted to defend him...not at all,but im just feeling weird that when i read the topic about relationship and problems...it was mostly replied in very supportive resuts....

however when a guy that needed some little advice and moral support from fellow drivers,he was being replied like that....(u deserve it...u are stupid,u are acting cool...)
well...i guess i got to stop here,if he read this,he would not be happy either but i just want to deliver my thoughts...and no offence....thanks again for everyone that posted both the negative and the positive....i do appreciate that

there's nothing to support when it comes to speeding.

you speed, you get caught, you pay for it.

Peace101 SG

It is not that we are heartless, but this kind of thing cannot be compared to relationship problems. I'm sure lots here will offer support if it is.
In fact, we are trying to put a message across. Even you scolded him when you heard, and you are his GF.

Imagine this scenario, say a girl not feeling well and is expected her BF to come to take care of her. She waited and waited, but the BF never turn up. Later she found out that her BF was involved in an serious accident on the way over. Apparantly it's the other party's fault and he was speeding.
You think it'll be a comfort to the girl why the other party is speeding, that he's also rushing to see his unwell GF?
Hope you don't take this as a personal attack, juz trying to put things in perspective why some comments are unsympathetic.

Peace

houndy SG

It is hard to get positive comments from fellow drivers as like they say. We dont support things that are not right, like speeding, reckless driving as these endanger the lives of fellow motorist. If the driver gets into trouble, he has himself to blame but just think what if due to his actions other people get into trouble. Maybe you want to reach home in a quicker time but by doing so jepadorise other people lifes. Can you live with it for the rest of your life?

ok guys, enuf already. I think we’ve made our point sufficiently yes? The thread starter probably won’t be speeding fora long time now that he’s facing suspension and thats enough salt in his wound for now. Lay off him yes? He’s going to get punished by the system, so we don’t have to verbally punish him anymore.

[email protected] SG

almost 3 pages worth of condemnation is enuf already. Lets not make the poor gal feel worse here too. We've all agreed its reckless, the system agree that it is reckless, thread starter has agreed that it's reckless, and he is going to be punished by the system. So lets all lay off him ok?

Cepat SG

Poor thing, I will pray everything is okay with you.

Actually, the most serious traffic offence is not speeding but to be caught drunken driving...this will lead to a suspension of the license & don't know how much fine will be imposed...after the suspension, it will be very hard to pass the driving test.

I know someone who got his license suspended after he was caught drunken driving.

huoye SG

actually i find the topic starter quite genuine leh......he was juz looking for comments........
but now suddenly his 'gf' happen to come into this forum and saw dat he put his case online....somehow i think abit 'heng' hor dat she happen to come into this forum juz when her 'bf' post a topic...
I think this is more heng den toto leh....... Surprised
