serenade 6th Gear July 21, 2021 Share July 21, 2021 My vote for the most misleading and useless equipment are those orange men at work signs (if there is one put up in the first place). Problems with them :- 1. Put so close to the work site that when encounter the sign meant to warn, already at the site, and it is too late to filter 2.The sign is not taken down at night or on days even when there is no work 3.Sign shows wrong lane is closed And lastly but the most unproductive is there is a foreign worker deployed to wave a dirty, barely visible red flag or baton to warn motorists of the closed lane. He endangers himself and drivers by not being clearly visible ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometime I scare myself thinking my own headlights are from another approaching car! Same. But it is useful for MSCPs. There is one I frequent where even if I turn my head, I can't see the merging traffic. Adding to that is that the MSCP is too dark. So the mirror helps a bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have allowance of +10kmh to prevent tdf cyclists on this road from activating it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera would flash even during day time? And even if it flashes, it would only be one time and not twice right? My speed then was I think around 90kph, definitely more than 80kph. It has been several years since I drove on this road after I ord from reservist. And on that eventful day I was overtaking some goods and heavy vehicles driving on the 2nd lane and only after I cleared them and peeked into the rear view mirror than I was taken aback when I caught a glimpse of that camera. :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSP415 Supersonic July 21, 2021 Share July 21, 2021 Hmm... Seems slighter brighter (43-44sec) then dark again. Could be angle of camera cos flashes quite bright and obvious. Oso iirc at least 2-3 flashes. Personally, won't lose sleep over it. Drive safe and sometimes if cars around you not speeding up too much, especially on such roads, be alert. They may already be aware of a speed camera ahead hence let u be hero 🤭😅. Stay safe Cheers ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
