blogentry-133713-0-80496300-1425980951_thumb.jpgI am sure most of us car nuts enjoy going across the causeway for a spin. And usually, that spin is likely to be a brisk one. Bad news for those who actually do, because according to paultan.org, the government is mulling over the idea of installing speed limiting device in all vehicles.

 

The vehicles subjected to the 110km/h speed limiting includes all passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Emergency vehicles and other law enforcement vehicles would be exempted from the speed limiting.

 

This is because the number of road accidents and fatalities have been on the rise. According to Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Mohamad Diah, using a speed limiting device to stop speedsters 'would be a suitable method to reduce road accidents'.

 

He added that if enforced, it would put Malaysia on the map as the first country in the world to limit vehicle speed car based on speed limits in accordance with national law too.

 

While there are no details on how it would affect Singapore cars, let's hope this does not turn into reality!

Wonderful news. That way, only Singapore cars will be the ones speeding. That's fine, because we're the only ones being pulled over and extorted anyway, speeding or not! :)

Sounds like a way for cronies to make money only lor.

 

And then workshops also make money selling ways to bypass device.

 

Then motorist can appeal fine/summon saying device shouldn't allow them to speed.

 

 

Win-Win-Win situation! Malaysia BOLEH!

The way these clowns drive on the North South Highway, I am actually surprised that not more people die.

  • I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even

    JMEV ELIGHT: Tech, Style and Value

    High-tech and stylish electric vehicles doesn’t have to be expensive and inaccessible - the JMEV ELIGHT, which offers all you want in an affordable package, is now available in Singapore. Singapore’s car industry has never seen so many new brands within a given time span since forever - I can easily count more than 10 EV brands that has entered the market within the last couple of years. And it is a great phenomenon for car buyers - whether you are someone that’s intending to buy your

    This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem

    Movile Cave: Aliens on Earth

    Picture this: a subterranean hideaway so exclusive, it's been sealed off from the outside world for a cool 5.5 million years. Yep, the Movile Cave is a strange alien universe right here on Earth, tucked underneath the Romanian coast.  It may be just 20 metres below ground, but the Movile Cave is about as alien an environment as you will find anywhere on Earth. With no interference from the plebeian air that we breathe and light that we see, the cave instead is a concoction of sulphuric
