think he was refering to the tp under inflated tires which result in high speedo reading

[ayyang]

ooo then that TP must haev saboed alot of ppl -.-

after that day whenever i ride i make sure my speedo same as limit -.-

tiring sial must keep monitoring loL ~

[Dafanshu]

why did you wave at him? are you trying to intigate him?

[panclanrider]

why did you wave at him? are you trying to intigate him?

 

You mean instigate?

[Cococokie]

why did you wave at him? are you trying to intigate him?

 

maybe the tp tot he trying to be guai lan so he purposely disturb him back and give summon. lol. suay.

I waved at TP WRX before but he wave back lor... (not exactly wave but just a nod & a salute). Maybe because he cannot fault me on anything. My bike is stock, I was fully armoured and I was riding about 95 km/h on lane 1 of SLE. Once I overtook vehicles, I switched back on the centre lane.

 

There are two points which probably I can surface to the TS. First is the speedometer. The TP digital speedo is calibrated very reqularly so very difficult to fault. When was the last time you calibrated yours or changed your speedo cable.

 

Second is more of my personal opinion. If you project yourself as a mature rider and ride with discipline, it will be quite difficult to fault you. These factors may mitigate yourself if the TP officers decide to stop you. I've been stopped before for going slightly above the speed limit (112 on 90). I reasoned with the officer that the road was clear, I was not weaving in & out, I signalled my intent, I wore safety gear and full-face and my bike was stock. I asked him if any of these factors indicate that I'm a reckless rider. He gave me a bit of a lecture & issued me a warning. However, these scenarios may differ but projecting yourself well as a mature rider does not hurt your chances.

Hello GUYS! new license holder. I'm curious about the speed limit. Does it mean that the expressway limit is 90km/h means i can't go beyond 90km/h? or i can exceed not more than 20km/h ? Plus, does it apply to normal road as well? THANKS :cheeky:

No. U dam well stick to it. We dun need more p platers riding like they have been riding for gazillion years. Get into an accident. Claim insurance. And the whole biking community kena price inflation.

[samuelftw5]

Haha, okay. Cause i was curious. Its like so many ppl speeding more than 90km/h. Yet tp did nth abt it. Thats why i quite confused.

[trial-sin]

ur pts will only be deducted frm da day u pay ur fine..

 

1 year ltr.. frm da date u pay ur fine.. ur 6pts will be "refunded" back to u..

[evoscythe]

I think it really depends on the TP bro, i was going to work on monday when i was riding 90km/h on the highway (speed of highway - 90km/h) and when i turn to my left i was scared the crap out of me.

 

The TP was looking at me and tap his visor, cause i was wearing tinted visor. He mouthed the words, 'Change.' and rode off. Never kena anything. So yea, sometimes it's really down to luck.

Check the termite's front tyre. The Yamaha Police Meter is essentially a digital one that reads off a magnetic sensor at the front brake disc.

 

If the front tyre is soft, the reading will be significantly higher.

 

Your defence will be a snapshot of the deflated front tyre together with the TP license plate number, and best if you bike is in the background. No photo = hard to appeal or do it in court.

 

2 weeks ago my fren was stopped at Xilin Ave. I saw the bugger gesturing to him and was thinking in my mind, speeding. I stopped and pointed at the white ant's deflated front tyre. In the end my fren only got summon'ed for folded mirrors, and not speeding which carries a heavier fine and demerit points.

 

EDIT >>

 

To add on, how does a TP clock ppl with that digital meter (not radar or laser camera)?

 

He will have to ensure that he's travelling at the same speed as you, using the bike (not road markings) as a reference, and that both termite and offender are not braking. He then presses the STOP button to freeze the reading, and stops to summon you. He then releases the meter, and proceeds on to the next victim.

[samuelftw5]

Yah, Safe rider! I still wanna live long with this license. Just that I wanna comfirm what speed i can go better than when i'm on the expressway in doubt! Anw, i still figuring what are the ways for driving safety + siam accident that not your fault. Bike really like so dangerous. Scary D:

There is an adage, "A gun is only as dangerous as the finger that pulls the trigger"...

 

Biking can be an exhilarating sport or hobby if you're passionate about it. However, as it correlates to the adage, biking is only dangerous if the rider chooses to ignore measures, guidelines, laws and common sense.

 

Hope this will enlighten you a bit more.

TS, i kana b4 same same and i understand ur feelings... rather shiok shiok speeding liao then kana caught, than to now got book for nothing... hard to swallow for what have not been done...

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171840

 

lol .. not necessary to go all the way up la ..

just find that its so freaking SUAY !

 

ya bro sway lor... depends on their mood and integrity

just pay n live on unless u really got the time n $ to contest them,

send ur bike inspection prove ur speedo, write appeal letters, interview with THEIR boss... and not guarantee waived hor...

 

fav phrases:

where u going?

u think ur big bike wanna fly to the moon ar?

y go so fast? i stop u becos of ur safety u know?

y so many road users i dont stop but book u?

u know u endanger other road users?

 

my lesson learnt dont be the fastest just follow the crowd, always keep left unless overtaking, if spot them try not to brake suddenly but close throttle slow down n seems other vehicle is faster than u... if kana stop always be polite "Sir" here and there, try not to argue but sorry everywhere...

 

So far my frenz who did nothing wrong got stop had got off by taking down their id and tell him off wanna complain he waste his time stop for the sake of stopping and being rude to public, he apologize n let my frenz go

He then presses the STOP button to freeze the reading, and stops to summon you. He then releases the meter, and proceeds on to the next victim.

 

Question is we wont know whether he's not braking or has he reseted the meter?

 

if only bike TP has video camera onboard like the video below, then no one will doubt their integrity...

Yah.now most of the summon is $150 and 6 point,do u know that if u stop on the road shoulder to received a call from your mobile phone is an offence and yes it is $150 and 6 demerit point any bros here kena before?so guys if u want to make a call or received a call better forget about it.LOL it a funny funny world.

[MIGHTY MAX]

Me lagi bagus, New Eve came back from work around 1am...exit Railway wz my Honda Phantom...corner around 70km at normal road...then saw 2 traffic police riding toward me ..i think less then 10 or 15 meters....In my mind, sure kena saman...but when they side by side wz me, i just ignored them & i played Mr Dumb, pretend not knowing anything...U can said Lucky escaped..

[vtec power]

It's nt yr day. But u can't win the laws. Wat to do....

 

I got a fine of $200 and 6 demerit points for self-skid. Oso dun tink it is justifiable. But no choice.

[compfused]

Think about it..If you're travellin at a constant speed of 70km/hr and the TP also is travellin at 70km/hr..Do you think he could catch up with you? He would need to speed up won't he? My guess is the speed clocked by him that you're speedin is the speed he needs to get to just to catch up with you..

[hi_sham32]

I really feel sorry for u, and for the self skid incident, i am really sorry for you:cry:. Is like we want self skid like that. When everytime i see TP, my mind would always think confirm summon... Sometimes depend luck...

 

Got a some noob question. When u see a TP/termite, what u would normally do..?

Yup2... That's my way of thinking

[aRcHeR]

 

This usually occur if you may have change to a bigger sprocket size. One reason is because most bikes nowadays reads the speedo via the engine thus are factory calibrated with the bike's factory sets of sprockets. May I know what bike you are riding?

 

the speedo errors will only apply for bikes displaying digital speedo.

 

those bikes still using analog speedo are using a cable on the front wheel..

 

sprocket size doesn't affect those analog speedo.
