TP Bike at roadside, do they deploy speed cameras?

[Guest johjoh]

Was riding back just now and noticed a lot of TP activity, wondering what was up. Anyway, as I was going past a deserted bus stop along upp thomson, saw a lone TP bike parked in the bus bay, TP had his helmet off and was standing next to his bike.

 

It got me thinking. What's his purpose of being there? Not saying he's skiving or anything, just merely curious. If he's there and he's out to catch errant motorists, it'd take him longer to respond with the helmet off. e.g. have to flip on helmet, give chase. If he was there to deploy mobile speed cam, then if some crazy drunk driver goes dashing past, he'll have to pack the camera and give chase, or abandon camera and give chase.

 

Therefore, the question is, do these TP actually deploy cameras to capture speeding motorists? like certis cisco, record already, go back analyse and issue summons.

 

Or is their purpose the apprehension of errany motorists? e.g. laser gun, catch the guy speeding, then give chase.

 

And, doubly sure it's not the Certis Cisco guy in white shirt. It's a proper TP bike with the correct plate and blinkers.

 

PS: was travelling at legal speeds to see what the dude was up to.

 

i've seen them before. i saw the tp looking out for large vehicles and lorries and request them to stop to check their vehicles. probably tats why the helmet is off and large vehicles usually on the left lane.

One. His helmet is off, cos he is returning to his bike from summoning someone.

 

Two. His helmet is off, cos he is stationing himself at the bus stop to make people move off and away from the bus stop. Its called making the TP presense felt.

 

Three. The bike got problem. He is stopping to check.

 

Four. He is stopping there, to wait for the rest of the convoys to overtake him, or preparing to create a block there, so the convoys can move off from certain portion of the road ahead of him.

nowadays tp got escort due to the plane expo...

 

and also if u notice the stretch along orchard road going to wards plaza sing, the tp would stop by near the traffic light and wait.

 

once he gets com that the convey is approaching he wear helmet then stop the traffic and allow the escort to pass by.

 

then he catch up.
