Not all ROV are bad la, got once my sis and I wore half helmets ( which apparently we been using differen kinds of half helmet for 3 yrs) heng heng that day the ROV stop beside us, the officer just ask us to tie tightly and give us a smile and say ride safe then go off liao... heng~ heng~

 

maybe because you're gal.. that's why they let u off.

who knows they are ero..

 

rov better off dead. restricting the freedom of creative bikes around.

[Darkness19]

i tink the most important is to follow the law,tis way there is notin they can do to u

[Echo]

Can i say, i would love to see TPs everywhere on the road all the time! i can't stand those bikers and drivers(esp taxi drivers) who drive like today is the end of the world. Very dangerous of them.

[Darkness19]

i hate taxi drivers too,they are a danger to the road user

[Echo]

In fact, the first groups of reckless drivers is definately taxi-driver (driving as if meter is running 24 hours lols! )

second groups is Mecerdes drivers. Experienced drivers should know this ba...

not only taxi drivers.. those huge lorries .. esp those that drive as if they own the road..

[yohji]

Just to say a word of fairness. Reckless drivers are everywhere. They drive any kind of vehicle. Not just taxis, lorries or buses. I've seen very good taxi drivers too. Don't forget, there are reckless riders too. I tend to be reckless sometimes also, when I am in a lousy mood.

i thought this is a topic of tp and rovs? haha, no offense.

None of the above. I have done nothing wrong and my bikes are legal. Why should I be afraid of them?

 

On the contary, I truly dislike meeting racer wannabes who are always rushing to get reincarnated.

my sentiments exactly!

 

TP & ROV are there to do their job and to keep our roads safe. in fact, they should on the road more often if they have enough manpower. inconsiderate, rash & irresponsible drivers/riders are the ones should be kept off the road.

 

cheers!

TPs must be on the road to provide road safety. One example will be: there are traffic accidents almost everyday. Imagine a serious accident scene at peak hour w/o Tps or 999 at all? With all the confused/kaypo vehicles , i dun think ambulance can reach the scene in a short time. W/o them at scene, there might even be more accidents happen near the scene.

 

ROVs to deter/summon illegal mods vehicles, which poses danger to road users. There is always a reason why LTA/ROVs say cannot mod this or tat. just an simple example, Imagine a motorised bicycle, modded up to a limit where the bike is capable of going at 60km/hr......will the bicycle's brake stop the bike in time in an event of a near collision??? This exactly applies to motorcycles and cars as well.

 

Think about it..... actually they have helped us everyday, just that u want to know it or not??? SG road will be chaos w/o them.

:cheer:

 

i fully agree with you!

 

cheers!

Many many yrs back, i was at SSDC fetchin my gf frm her bike lesson. There was an ROV just outside the gate. Warmed up my bike waiting for him to leave, but bike warmed up till super hot liao... LoL.. so decided to gamble and slowly ride out of SSDC..

 

At the gate he turned, saw me and stopped me... Got off my bike, he checked my bike..

 

1)No chain guard

2)No front number plate

3)Aftermarket exhaust (supertrapp)

4)Off road tyres

5)No P plate

6)No mudguard

7)No mirror

8)Tinted visor

9)Not approved helmet

 

:help:

 

cant tink of any excuse, in my mind i was calculating how much the fine gonna be... Gave him my IC, he looked...

 

ROV: "u stay jurong u come all the way here for wat?"

Me: "fetch my gf from her bike lesson"

ROV: "hmmmm... ok this time i give u chance, dont let me see u again"

 

I never did see him again....

today i saw i rov going ard mscp checking on all bikes on evry floor of mscp..

 

what was that about??

[redbeacon]

Probably to check the validity of every bike's road tax.

 

Road tax payment is quite mandatory, it can be illegal to not pay it, even if it's parked at a carpark.

[hondawavefan]

Wah so onz ah they all! Didnt know that ROV will go to MSCP to do that!

[nhyone]

still ride the bike in the same condition, was stopped by 2 TP on other occasion...

 

Sometimes, that's why I think TP/ROV should be strict. One never knows how many times other TP/ROV has let off a particular offender.

 

When you're caught, you can probably appeal. Why bother to adhere to the law?

[Demon]

The rules are clear. TPs & ROVs don't make these rules, they only enforce them.

 

Another day at work.

When I see any of them on the roads I'd just admire their bikes and cars. Really nice those vehicles. Nothing to be afraid of if you do not commit any offence.

[guanjie]

Maybe cos it was 11yrs back?

 

 

 

DR200 only...
