While driving a truck along SLE today a Traffic Police car cut into my lane suddenly and step on the brake multiple times.
The car then drove away and a few minutes later, appear in front of me again. Turned on its siren and direct me to stop at the side of the expressway.

Policemen: where's your driving license and ic
Me: *passed him the license and ic
Policemen: why are you speeding?
Me: I'm not speeding.
Policemen: what's your speed just now? I'm sure you're speeding
Me: I'm driving at 70km/h the most and I did not speed.
Policemen: yes, you did!
Me: I did not, show me the evidence then.
Policemen: never mind, why did you over take from the left after Yio Chu Kang exit?
Me: I did not. I was just keeping to my lane.
Policemen: yes, you did. I saw it with my eyes.
Me: I did not, you can charge me if you have evidence of it.
Policemen: it's ok, I will give you a chance. I will issue you a ticket for not keeping to the left lane and why didn't you put a P plate?
Me: hello, open your eyes and look at the date.
Policemen: ok, I will still issue you a ticket.

So this is how traffic police work? Purposely finding fault and pushing the blame?
When they have nothing else to catch, they give this kind of stupid reason to fault you.

Look people, this is how Traffic Police in Singapore work.

We cannot overtake on left?

 

What if left lane is flowing and right lane is stopped? Is that still overtaking?

[Xefera]

One sided story. Gung-ho maybe?

[Myxilplix]

He say she say I say they say.

 

The picture seems to be a video still, should release the video mah. Then don't need to talk so much.

 

Unless he take photo with hp or digital camera then better dun admit.

would expect our TP's car to have camera to record videos no?

[Knoobie]

Entire story sounds like TP in MY trying to ask for "direction" for coffee break leh.

[VenomMX]

Sounds pretty much like a one-sided account of what happened but there is some truth to his last statement la..

If the TP's behaviour were true, just sent in official complaint and cc the whole world lor. Post on FB for fiak?

[Jman888]

end up he still get a ticket, wtf story is this?

[Neost]

Sounds very unreal leh. I got a good buddy who is a TP. He told me usually they got concrete evidence then they will pull you to the side.

Assuming this is how it happened, you could have recorded the conversation then said to him why waste your time n theirs for such an unproductive stop? Don't they have better thing to do?

[Darryn]

Unless you have proof, you will never win against the police.

 

How can he prove he wasn't speeding?

 

And quite honestly - If I had to choose I would believe the police - mostly because out of all the hundreds of cars on the road at the time, why should they choose this one car and make up stories? Where's the benefit to them?

 

On the other hand, Josiah has a very definite benefit in being innocent. (i.e incentive to lie)

[Karoon]

i'll park here so i can laugh at joshua later when the truth is out

[CupcakeOfDoom]

True. But as much as many of us keep to that, there are always some that hog the road - which then brings about the dilemma, overtake on the left or stay a victim of the hogger because we can't overtake on the left

 

 

That's road hogging. "Keep left unless overtaking".
