Chucky2007 Turbocharged August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 Just now on way home from Woodlands towards East, was driving along BKE.. no cars around so happily clear carbon.. drove around 150km/hr at the stretch of BKE towards PIE changi where there's a stationery speed cam. Noticed that there are no flash from the cam n also cam facing the opposite direction of BKE towards woodlands. Questions: 1. No flash means no record? Since its already dark as its 1am? 2. Is that cam capturing 1 direction which is BKE woodlands only? 3. What's penalty for speeding above 60km/hr on a 90km/hr expressway? 4. How long will letter appear? Before I'm being lecture for speeding.. I hereby apologise first.. no ill intention, not racing or trying funny stunts.. just driving faster to clear some accumulated carbon ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I'm being lecture for speeding.. I hereby apologise first.. no ill intention, not racing or trying funny stunts.. just driving faster to clear some accumulated carbon The stretch before the speed camera is quite nice (and easy) to speed due to the long down slope, I did 120kmh there but didn't dare to go any faster. 1. From my knowledge, no flash = safe. I could be wrong. 2. That camera works for both directions, which is why there are warning signs in both directions of BKE. 3. Demerit Points - 18 demerit points and prosecution in court if traveling in excess of more than 50kmh up to 60kmh. 4. No idea for this one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the camera is live, TP is watching this thread. Good luck to you, you'll be charged for speeding, obstructing civil servant from carrying out his duty and providing false information to law enforcer. Anyway, you will be hauled to court for speed exceeding 50km/h. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at ECP towards changi at bottom of slope after Benjamin sheares also looks the same type.. but confirm only facing ECP city AYE direction upslope.. as its a 70km/hr.. I normally pass the cam at 90-110km... Been doing that for years never receive love letter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee 1st Gear August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 speeding over 60kph above speed limit is quite a serious offence. traffic live cam can detect real time vehicle speed as well as VIN. some newer ones can even detect multiple vehicles at one time. all these will be redundant once the GPS IU is operational.

Rubbishman 1st Gear August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 (edited) Sorry to hear about your speeding case. I am a photography enthusiast and from photography point of view, no flash under such 1am dark condition means the camera film will not be able to capture your number clearly. Unless its a digital cam, where a short shutter speed and high ISO could capture your car even without flash. This is also why after 7.30pm on bus lanes, there is seldom LTA wardens at the side of the roads. There is no way for the LTA wardens digital camera, whether in still shot mode or in movie mode to be able to capture your moving car clearly. Unless they are using high speed cameras such as the Casio Exilim or the JVC PX-10. I have used both cameras before and so far, the JVC PX-10 offers a much clearer quality. And I am certain the wardens ain't using such model. Edited August 14, 2012 by Rubbishman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cam no working one. If you drive slowly and closely to the cam, you will see some birdnests inside the holes. Anyway, I might be wrong.. but I've never heard anyone kena caught by that cam b4. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
