Some Hot Spots

[Viviobluerex]

North Districts got more accidents than this year from April 2003 to March 2005

 

All happened in the north with a huge number recorded on CTE between Bradell Exit to Yio Chun Kang Exit.

 

Maybe that's why.

lol i work for tp....lol...i kena at bedok reservoir rd already.......i was traveling abt 85 km/h say i speeding......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s: i was joking abt the tp.........

[Nullifi3d]

Have noticed this trend ever since school started 2 weeks ago.

i'd like to use this thread to warn motorists who drive alongside Temasek Poly along Tampines Ave 1. Speed limit is 50kph and never, never never try to speed along there especially between 8am - 10am and 3pm - 5pm. Theres always a TP bike waiting for you at the junction of Caltex. Dosent matter if you travel 20kph or 40kph over the limit, they sure catch you. Have seen many of my schoolmates getting summons. I know its a long straight road...tempting but must resist the urge ya.

[Oir11]

1) The stretch of road outside the famous Orchard Country Club with lorries parking. The speed limit is ONLY 60KM/hr although it has 3 lane!!!!(Tat time i gunna there with speed of 85km/hr...gunna 6 demerit + $140 fine. sian 1/2)

 

2) The road going in and out of Seletar dam. Mod car please beware 'cos it's a dead end.

 

3) In front of Khatib MRT station. (Where the speed camera is at) I was quite surprise to see road block there 'cos it's a straight road but I've gunna there b4.

 

4) Outside Yishun Safra. There is a nice place spot around the bend.

 

5) Yishun Park. Very near Yishun Safra. It's a very deserted area and it's outside Northbrooks Secondary school.

 

6) Outside Katib Camp Main gate. That time have seen them camping there when I'm performing guard duty there in 1998 during my NSF days :( . Both side of the road is fav spot for TP.

 

7) Road going to Gambas Ave (Woodland) when you go pass Chong Pang naisi lemak and wanted to turn Left to woodland. Near the hot spring entrance at seletar air base.

 

8) Blk 367, Yishun Ring Road. Near the canal.

 

9) Mandai Road. Think needless for me to elaborate some more...

 

10) Mandai Ave. Near Mandai Crematorium.

 

11) Lentor Ave. The main stretch of road leading to Yishun after you exit from SLE.

 

12) Woodlands Ave 12

 

13) AMK Ave 5. Exit from CTE from city (can be weekly event)

 

14) Lornie Road right after Japanese association, both way

 

15) PIE towards Changi, camera under Lornie flyover

 

16) PIE going Jurong, exit to Clementi Ave 6. Beware of TP awaiting for you at the bus stop (almost like alternate day affair)

 

17) Lim Chu Kang road, they like graves visit...

 

18) Changi - Loyang Industrial Main road

 

19) Marina South

 

20) Bedok Reservior Road (every weekend affair)

 

21) Upper Thomson Road - the stretch between Yio Chu Kang Road/Upper Thomson Road junction to entrance of SLE.

 

22) Changi - The road behind Changi Airport Runway. Plenty of bushes and construction boards to hide. Was stopped once to check my license, literally pop out from nowhere. I thought I saw ghost wearing a white gown.

 

23) Serangoon road towards sengkang - Overhead bridge just opp secondary school. If heading towards Sengkang, it will be right after the Florida condo (which is on ur right).

Hi all,

 

Sorry to use this thread but i can't make new postings yet. Can anyone here please explain to me the diff betw disc and drum brakes? Thanks.

 

disc brakes consist of a brake disc that is usually ventilated (for front) for heat dissipation, and a pair of calipers with brake pads to clamp onto the disc to stop it.

they are usually used in performance cars and can be made from carbon, kevlar, ceramic, etc. usually they will have slots or drilled holes or a combination of both to better aid in heat dissipation as these discs can 'glow' red under heavy use.

 

drum brakes consists of the drum (connected to the wheels) n a pair brake shoes inside the drum.. the drum rotates and the brake shoes, when activated, expand out and press on the inner side of the drum, thus stopping the drum..

 

drum brakes are used because they are easier to manufacturer and cheaper, easier to service. but their disadvantage is they do not dissipate heat as well as disc brakes, and continuous braking can make the drum expand and cause 'brake fade'.

 

for this reason, most if not all cars have disc brakes for the front.. and the rear (not as important as when u brake, it is the front that has to do more work) can be either disc (smaller dia than the front) or drums.

 

drum brakes also have to be 'pumped dry' after being driven in floods, as water can enter the drum and make the brake less effective.

 

so bottomline is, disc brakes are better than drums in performance. but costwise, drum brakes are easier to manufacture and maintain than discs.
