Got a speeding warning letter

[Timex1441]

I think the warning letter is a recent thing.

 

I have been driving the same way (or maybe more reckless then) since the 90s till now but never had a single speeding ticket until recently. One along Braddell Road and the other on Farrer Road.

hmm....not TAT recent lah....back in 2008 already heard abt frens receiving warning letters liao...

tis year i kena 4 speeding summon..2 is only a warning (1 at KPE,the other at SLE) ,the other 2 (nicoll highway & Lentor )kena 6pts each plus 150 bux each..just my luck..now left with 12 pts..lesson learnt,drive according to speed limit..

Bro, dont speed lah. Think of your love one, this message is always appeared on EMAS board.

Nicoll Highway seems to be a hot spot in recent times, seen them camping on the bridge as often as 4 times within a couple of months this year.

Often see people speeding way over the 70km/h limit there - when I travel at 70km/h I'm usually the slowest. Be careful, especially near the bridge.

 

at Nico cannot be hero ya, let others have a chance.

 

there was once i followed behind a skyline in the middle lane,

 

and luckily the camera man was on duty that afternoon.

 

the skyline was travelling at a constant speed,

 

so upon checking my meter, the speed around 80.

 

but i still followed the speed of the skyline,

 

wondering whether will i be caught on cam?

 

but till now no letter...

 

so probably they do give allowance or speedo underrated!

lol?

 

no more overhead bridge la.

 

now they hiding in bushes.

 

 

Heehee

They still camp on the bridge at Nicoll Highway. Saw four times this year already. Very clearly visible

 

The traffic police in HK are much more hardcore. On at least six or seven occasions, seen them camp on the hatched line and partially hidden by the dividing concrete wall (the spot at the red circle). I think this method is damn risky; if some blur idiot suddenly decides to cut the hatched line (thankfully doesn't happen often), game over for the cop!

Before any camera, there will be Speed Camera Ahead signboard in blue (Which not only applies to KPE, but anywhere else). The 3 boxes sometimes hard to see as they are about the same color as the ceiling and wall, furthermore, the sensors will be on your left side before the cameras. (You can see two small squares @ the wall)

 

P.S. For those speed trap hand held, SPF have a list in their webby.

One of the Four blue signs in KPE is 'how siao' one.

lol. slow down at all the signs la. wont do much harm. the cameras are only those areas.

I have one question that is bothering me though. Those speed trap camera can't be used at night right? They are used to capture front number plate and speed. So at night where we have our headlights on it's quite impossible to capture? Can someone enlighten me?

your backside number also can be caught one.

 

thats why if u notice some cars properly, their front plate is normal and rear plate got shiny reflections and all one.

got to ask the "experienced" ones.

Just curious... For those overhead mobile cam with a person standing there one, will there be any flashes if you are to be caught on their cam?

No flash. The laser gun clocks your speed but does not record an image.

Thanks!

What about at night? Do they use the same tactic?

Just now I was travelling along bedok north road from tampines ave 10, road was quite empty and I was going around 90km/h plus. There got 2 overhead bridges. I didn't see anyone standing on the bridge but was quite worried if they are hiding after that.

That's what I want to know also. Do those mobile speed cam, capture our plate number at night? With our headlight glaring in the front?
