Got booked by Volvo TP for a damn ridiculous reason .....

Recommended Posts

I got stopped by a Volvo TP along Stevens rd at 4pm yesterday and believe it or not the reason for my fine is they said>>>> i didn't have 1 car length when I filtered left for my lane change (Told some of my frens abt this and they bursted out laughing coz they never heard of such a fine before

one car length is v subjective . A chery qq & S class merc are all considered as 1 car length so what exactly is that dist for a car length, I am sure they don't have an ans for tt ... And the fact that he was at least 5 cars away how could he have gauge Tt distance ? And there's Sumthing called parallax error unless he sumhow was able to capture the exact distance I didn't have , it's really unfair to say I didn't have . In a traffic jam or when there are road obstacles ahead , pple filter left all the time and I have seen so many cases pple do not even have 1 car length during traffic jams .... So does Tt mean they can't change lane and have committed a traffic offence? I really want to get to the bottom of this. Traffic laws need to be reasonable and sound ....

The world Most dangerous thing is the Vehicle. Its not about the machine weather its slow or fast. Its the person who is controlling it. The driver is the brain of the Machine. Not the machine itself.

If the driver reacts slow even the most powerful ABS(Auto braking system) will not help. The driver has to give the car the command in Order for the car to react. Afterall he is the brain of the car.

Sister... seriously.... I believe you need Flower water in the bulk..... not only for your ride... you also... :thumbsu:  :thumbsu: :thumbsu:

So I asked him how could he have possibly see or gauge I didn't have that distance ? He said because he saw the brake lights of the car from behind . Seriously how can the rear brake lights of a car confirm that I didn't have at least 1 car length away ? That's totally baseless and unsound. Brake lights of a car able to tell u I didn't have sufficient space? There must be proper procedures/protocols for a summon to be issued no ? Bottomline is you can't fine sumone based on such assumptions when u weren't even physically close to see it for yourself !! I did proper signaling, checked my blind spot and made the change ..... something is seriously v wrong here with this particular TP s way of fining pple .....

Nowadays white ant are beri kind. I got speeding warning letter, caught speeding at 93km at Tuas (80km) else will be $130 fine and demerit 4points. Anyway, if the officer tell u that wait for letter meaning likely u will get a warning instead of fine. Maybe the officer wants your hp nos?

To be honest the TP sounded very stupid ... I really don't wanna use this word but can't think of anything more appropriate.

First qs I asked , he was 5 cars away during my lane change how could he have seen if I had the dist or now . His ans: oh coz I saw the brake light of the car directly behind u .

What kinda lame ans is that ? Ha ha can brake lights tell u abt car distances ? LOL

Second qs I asked , if I was already like 1/3 into the lane change and the car speed up on his own and he feathered his brakes. Is it my problem he had to brake and besides I showed my signal quite a while . His ans : he has the right of way even if he speed up . He did no wrong.

Then if he wants to speed up and brake , is it my fault ? If u see something infront coming your way do u speed up or u be more considerate as a road user to slow down a bit . TP is definitely not promoting considerate driving ethics which I do feel he shud as a traffic officer

All in all I felt bullied lar ! And like they are v Bo Liao got nothing better to do and act "intelligent" when their arguments are so flawed .

I wanna to bring this up to a higher level and I genuinely wanna know if I committed an offense ! It's not so much the fine and points . This is an abuse of power !!!!

Do u have an in car cam that captured the situation? Else it is your word against his. Nonetheless, wait for the summon. There should be a short narrative about your offence. From there, zero in and attack!

 He said because he saw the brake lights of the car from behind . 

 

some kia-see people will tap brake as a precaution. 

some also will tap brake to leave a wider gap cos another has filtered in.

 

totally nonsense argument from them imo... yes, if u have a car cam, offer it as evidence in your email.

No offence, sorry to say this,

 

Hope it is not considered as careless driving (i think 3-6 demerit points) - when a vehicle has to break because of another vehicle changed lane "carelessly".

Lastly, this "offence" is quite obvious even from many cars away, we can see this happening once in a whilte.
