Ahtong 1st Gear October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 Sometimes I see TP conducting roadblocks during daytime around those industrial estates or construction sites. What are they looking for? Is it illegal immigrants? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 That could be one of the reason. Sometime the RB will be set up even few hrs before the sweeping ops starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahtong 1st Gear October 29, 2009 Author Share October 29, 2009 I also don't know. But what's there to catch on a weekday afternoon? Anyway, TP just took a quick glance at my road tax and waved me on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnoikj Neutral Newbie October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 Normal police set up road bloacks too..I think to catch any jokers who are carrying parangs or drugs etc.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 I come across before cos during the day I will drive the company's van. They will check your road tax and the speed watching device whether it's working, if not $50 fine(not too sure about the amount) on the spot. At one time I saw a lot of illegal modified cars kena stop on a Saturday in the morning about 10am. All of which are TP road blocks. I come across before in residential and industrial area. For me, luckily everything is paid and working, otherwise tio fine liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its ROV lar. Look at the bike plate, if starts with TP then Traffic Police, if not will be ROV or F is normal auxilliary police. All look the same, but plate differentiates.

2bfree Neutral Newbie October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 Alot of lorries, commercial use vehicles nvr pay road tax. Some Ah bengs drive vans, pick-ups bt mod till like "furlali". Some Banga drive w/o license or suspended license. Trust me, u will be surprised at hw many cases there are. Its the new "in" thing for the TPs & ROVs to get revenues for their employer. More profitable thn illegal mods frm pte cars, safer thn drunken drivers, less taxing thn nite blocks, lower chances at gettin complain at etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifi3d 4th Gear October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 Sometimes I see TP conducting roadblocks during daytime around those industrial estates or construction sites. What are they looking for? Is it illegal immigrants? Well i got stopped by a TP in WRx on my way to my bike prac at Ubi CDC. He let every car go, and stopped me on my bike. I guess he was just there to check on those bikers who ride without license, and see if their road tax and insurance expires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahtong 1st Gear October 29, 2009 Author Share October 29, 2009 Catch illegal mods I can understand but I thought LTA would automatically know if someone never renew road tax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo 1st Gear October 29, 2009 Share October 29, 2009 Probably targeting commercial vehicle as there were new regulation in place like height limit for rear passengers, front cabin must be occupied before filling up the rear space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All look the same, but plate differentiates. haaa bro, think now difficult to see ROV plate... all show LTA liao.... Police setup road block for many many reasons.... common reason is to check road tax, or drink driving..... rare occasions like the Mas Nasi Lemak run away type of reason..... .... of course kena the OC siao on wanna tekan his man also can ask them to setup road block....
