Nonewid Neutral Newbie June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Wah, just this morning i saw one of these lorries on PIE zooming arnd.. easily 90km/h. And yes, it use the left lane.... to overtake. SINGAPORE : Traffic Police carried out a five-hour speed enforcement operation on Thursday morning at Tuas. Forty-nine drivers of heavy vehicles were booked for speeding and other offences like failing to keep left. The highest speed recorded was 91 kilometres per hour, above the legal vehicle speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour. Police said they will not let up on road safety. They have warned all motorists to abide by road speed limits. Last year, 4,000 summonses were issued to heavy vehicle drivers for a multitude of offences. This figure is up from the 3,500 summonses issued in 2010. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Supersonic June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 It's happening everywhere and everyday. Was driving along PIE towards Changi yesterday at about 4.30 pm. First lane, heavy vehicles. Second lane, a long line of about 8-10 medium/light goods vehicles, lorries, vans etc. Cars limited to only the right lane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
