Guys, I know the jam at checkpoints are long, but waiting a few hours is probably better than waiting a few months in jail. What happened? On 6th May 2023, a BMW 1200gs rider at Tuas checkpoint decided that the queue was too long and tried to cut it. However, he was unfortunate in his choice of victim, who was apparently a Malaysian rider who refused to let him have his way. This resulted in a fight where the Malaysian man was being held back by a couple other riders in an attempt to stop the fight, as other vehicles behind them were also blaring their horns. The footage is pretty short and only shows the fight as it is happening, not what led to it. We also don’t know if either party is going to face charges for fighting (though really, it should only be the BMW rider if this is true). Take this story with a grain of salt. Ironically, if the rider just waited like everyone else he probably would have left earlier as opposed to starting a fight and dealing with the consequences after. Online chatter You already know what people are going to make fun of in this one. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

TL-DR- Kia Cerato tried to cut queue on Causeway and forced to turn back. Camcar does some research and finds out he owes TP money We usually say O$P$ when we want people to pay back what they owe with haste, and we usually associate it with loan sharks. However, our traffic police may want to take a page out of the ah longs’s book for this one. What happened? Our cam car was on the causeway one day when a Kia Cerato passed by him. The only issue is that this Kia was in a bus lane, exclusively for buses. Which they must have figured out eventually since a BUS was in front of them. Let alone all the other signage on the causeway. However, traffic police promptly directed the Kia to turn back to where it came from. In the face of authority, the driver could not do anything but comply after being caught. Sleuthing The camcar driver was not satisfied with this though, and did some digging on the KIA. Going through the Traffic Offense Payment Systems, he found out the Kia driver owed $700 for two separate offenses with one from December 2022. Bro has gone more than 4 months without paying his fines and is still driving. Online chatter Of course, many criticised the authorities for how the Cerato was still able to be roaming around and possibly enter Singapore despite outstanding fines. Others saw this as proof that punishments toward foreign cars were useless as they could simply escape back to their own country. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

TL;DR - As Singaporeans flock into Johor Bahru for Christmas shopping, JPJ were deployed to monitor the activities to improve the effectiveness of enforcement of the roads to Malaysia. As Christmas draws near, Singaporeans get panicky about gift shopping. And that is clearly evident from the number of cars entering into Malaysia, getting fined. Guess we’re really living up to our Singaporean spirit - kiasu. But not quite the kiasi part. The JPJ must be internally screaming joy of happiness as they record the car plates of those who kena saman… yay to more kopi money! Here are some screenshots: Oh man… Another one bites the dust. So what happened? In case you didn’t know, JPJ is basically the equivalent of Singapore’s LTA. They were deployed to the roads at Causeway to manage the traffic crowd during the weekend. Many cars from Singapore entering JB were fined for cutting into the non-existent fast lane… or perhaps it is only visible in their sight? Now their trip is just a wasted one since their fine probably adds up to the cost savings they were expecting from the 1:3.xx ringgit conversion. Better luck next time, fam. Let’s hear from the Internet: Many seem to be asking for heavier penalties on these drivers who jumped the line. What are your thoughts on imposing fine + U-turn back to rejoin the snaking long queue? ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.
