Traffic Offence for Driving on Expressway Road Shoulder.

[scorpio76]

Hi,

 

I just got a letter from Traffic police for driving along the road shoulder at PIE expressway along Bedok area.

 

That morning at 9am was raining and I stop at road shoulder to change to raincoat. After that, I tried to filter but all the slow moving big vehicles block the way and I scared to ride on the white strips, so have to ride along to find opening but as I turn around the band, saw 2 tps standing in front of me and saw them writing in their notebook right away. Should have gotten off my bike and reason with them.

 

This case can appeal?

[Izammo]

surely can appeal. if i kana i also appeal, seriously ure not intentionally riding on the rd shoulder. can try, in God we trust.

In that case, how to appeal? Do I have to go to Traffic police headquarters to submit appeal form or can email to the person-in-charge? Last time I got taffic summon was 10 years back.

[aeX]

write letter address to them lor.. quote the case number.

[torched]

6pts $150! I kena before.

 

As was explained to me, stop to wear rain coat/insert cashcard/quick phone call/ no issue. It's when you're leaving the road shoulder, must wait for traffic to clear then move off. Try to remember how far you ride on the road shoulder when you want to appeal...

Jus went to Traffic police HQ for oral appeal. Told her traffic jam how to find opportunity to filter in. Plus somemore raining. Then told me not recommended to stop and adjust raincoat before bend. Rather be wet and change when no blind spot. BUT I CHANGE BEFORE THE BEND. it was after the bend then I saw the cops.

 

Then told me to write an appeal as they need to check with officer who booked. This case, how to know whether the officer remember what happened or did he see what happened. Felt really lan lan...

[Izammo]

then say if u wet then body cold then u wobble2 shivering from the cold how. later accident. hahaha.

 

anyway trying to cheer u up only.

Dear All riders, I think we should all "GANGUP" to get either LTA or TP to write off this traffic regulation. Frankly I see no reason why can’t we riders ride on the shoulder especially when there is a heavy traffic jam/raining. Our life is at stake should we continue riding along a heavy jam/rainy day when inconsiderate drivers just lane changing recklessly. So, road should is a good option in actual fact!

 

What kind of excuses TP or LTA is giving us for not allowing to ride along the road shoulder actually? Obstruction to Ambulance??? Does it mean that we have the rights not to give way to ambulance when riding on lane 1,2,3 or 4? If not, what the different if we ride on shoulder n subsequently give way to ambulance as well? We r motorbike n can lane change easily. This traffic regulation is much suitable for cars not allowing on the shoulders at all time but on motobike!!! (Cars will occupy space & cannot lane change easily)

 

 

In Malaysia, riders can ride along expressway road shoulder!!! (Their government feels it’s safer for their riders) Y cant we? Does it mean that our government doesn’t bother about taking care of our life in such? But yet LTA keep reporting there is an increasing on the number of accident for motorcyclist??? What for telling us riders when they don’t even bothers? In fact, I think it very much safer for us to have a specific lane to ride carefully. For riders who want to ride faster, he can ride in any lane as well. We just need to make sure that we are riding carefully.

 

 

So, anybody with me on the suggestion? I will gathered all names here & write to LTA, TP, MPs regarding this matters!

 

Provide Name, IC number, HP.

Quite frankly your understanding of the road amazes me, you seem to believe that the rules shouldn't apply to you simply because it inconvenieces you. If you did some reseach you would know that the road shoulder is for vehicle breakdowns and can only be used by emergency service vehicles in an emergency. That is why it is called a break down lane in some countrys, can you imagine what would happen if there was nowhere to pull-over to on the side of the road if it was full of motorbikes and how many car drivers here in sing would just decide that if they are allowed to ride there why cant I. So if you want to put your name to paper over this, it just shows you to be another ignorant road user.

[xcel]

I would think siam and gtl's comments did carry their points.

 

As a biker myself, I encountered many occasions where the driver just simply swerve lane without giving signal, or swerve and giving signal at the same time, causing us to do emergency brakes. Some drivers even think of giving signal would have the right to change lane, even if there is other road user occupy the lane at a close distance. All these really putting our life at stake.

 

Allowing motorbike to use road shoulder isn't a good idea though. If it's legal, I'm sure a lot of bikers would use it at all time rather than using the road. Imaging a stalled vehicle occupying the road shoulder, I would think more accidents will happen. You may think why wouldn't he avoid it but it just happens! A lot of fatal accident cases happened in Msia where the vehicles hit those stalled vehicle which parked at road shoulder, whether motorbikes or cars.

 

I think the best idea is to create a designated lane for motorbike, just next to the road shouder. This idea just workable at expressway. If you have been to KL, you will know what I'm saying.

In China they already have such a lane, parrallel to the road, solely for bicycles, electric bikes and scooters...

[bladeboy]

hmmm i ever help other biker at road shoulder when his bike broke down same **** I kanna summon & points than i appeal wif the receipt of towing & repair of tat biker oso no use F it man

TPE coming back from SLE, always got huge jam along Sengkang. Seen cars always traveling at the road shoulders in the morning.

[IvikaRazI]

I do believe that the road sholders IS NOT MEANT for motorcycle use. Its more for emergency and breakdowns. Anyway if vehicle breakdown, EMAS will come and recover the vehicle, while you wait for them over the barrier (Safety).

 

Even when changing raincoat, I do not think it is safe. Tat is why laws are there to protect people. Anyway if you wanna change raincoat, there are designated places like under the bridges that the garmen do for us motorist. The ones with the Umbrella signs.

 

Anyway you can try and appeal, if unsuccessful, juz pay and juz learn from your mistake. If heart pain see others do it, take photo and submit to TP Violation department.

I think u r just kid talk. Dun tell me if let say a car just cut into ur lane & knock u down & u gonna blame ur own poor riding skill & close the case??? Haha.

I bet u r gonna make an insurance claimed against him?? Right? So what is there a problem when I request others to propose a shoulder that give riders the previleage? I have the best interest for riders safety as I m a rider myself ok?

 

& Who doesn’t know the rd shoulder is meant for emergency vehicles or break down car? Didn’t u read clearly my msg??? We can avoid them as long as there is an emergency vehicles trailing behind us. Even if the shoulder has breakdown vehicles, we just avoid it. Simply as that. U ride dun u? If yes, u should know how to anticipate to danger. Who asked u speed along the shoulder when the lane is so narrow? It meant for safe rider’s n not hell riders. If u wants to speed fast, u can travel along the main rd. From what I see your reply, u know nuts about riding & u never care about the life of other riders. U r the person who is ignorant. plsssssssss note! I did not say that cars are allowed on the rd shoulder at all time. It’s for BIKERS only. The life of all rider’s.

 

 

U can see that many of us here have got summon from TP somehow or rather on the shoulder. So, I m seeking those riders who is keen to overrule this regulation. If u r not keen, dun place your name. I m not forcing u also. We r the new generation & we should fight for our rights. Speak up if u think is not right. Y keeps our mouth shut when we are suffering from uncessary Summons?

 

Appeal? Saying is easy? How many time u can appeal? If we can appeal successfully, then there should not be having any riders from getting fine with $150/- & come with 6 demerits points.
