Do u ride with headlights on during daytime ?

[redname]

how come got tis kind of poll when it is regulated by law tht such things must have one? tis one not car leh, 7pm then on headlights

 

if i dnt remember wrgly, in the 90s, they have made it a point tht all bikes import into s'pore will have their headlight switch taken off tht means confirm must have headlights on one. bikes b4 tht time might still have the switch thou

[buttbutt8]

But sometimes difficult to start when engine cold + head light on!!

Also issit a offence to on high beam all the time?

[rhema83]

You are not supposed to on your high beams all the time. Unless your low beam burnt off.

 

Why turn off your headlights? When I drive, I am glad that bikes have headlights on all the time. Otherwise it's really easy to miss them. Reverse the thinking when I am riding, and I make sure I turn on the lights all the time.

[invisiblman]

yea im as im a safety-rider!

talking about being fined, I paid my a summons for RM70 today, after kena from the Malaysian TP at the Second Link last Sunday. i ride an old Yamaha Seca II, which has a light switch. when i removed my helmet to clear SG ICQ, my helmet accidentally touched the switch, and turned it off (and of course, I wasn aware). until when after clearing Malaysian customs, and there is the TP blockade as usual. morale: make sure you lights are on at all times, whether in SG or Malaysia. and i am thinking of removing the switch so that my light can be on at all times.

That's because they either installed aftermarket HID without changing the headlight to projectors (quite expensive) or they did not aim the headlights properly. You should not be deterred from turning on your headlights just because of those idiots. It might save your life (or someone else's).

[PreluDe]

according to LTA , all bike actually cannot have a on or off switch for headlight

 

, just obey the law , no point argue here and there , since you wanted to ride

Disabling of Automatic headlamp switch-on function on motorcycles

 

 

When motorcycles are in use, their headlamps must be switched on at all times. This is to make the motorcycles more conspicuous to all road users thus enhancing the safety of the motorcyclists.

 

Motorcycles registered in Singapore on or after 1st November 1997 must be equipped with an automatic headlamp switch-on function to comply with the above requirement.

 

Disabling of this function is not allowed.

haha u oldbikes battery sometimes will weak if u didnt start in 2-3 days.. so that time i turn it off zhun zhun stop by tp.. and i was late for work.. he take the printer out i tot he gonna summon me already.. then end up he gimme warning letter .. HENG...

[warrior.c.o.n.p]

thr's no off button for super 4 headlight.. but is good for other motorists to notice us..

[ImPeRzA]

i vote yes. Its is meant to allow other road users to see you. Whether it is night or day. Night is to allow ppl to see you and shine the road to see if there is any dangerous things on the road.

As bikes tend to be smaller and others road users cant see you.

Not to shine on the road to see whether there is money on the ground.

[LimHammett]

yes.. and i learnt it thru the hard way... forgotten to turn on my headlight den when exiting my skool 2 TP waiting for me at dover mrt bus stop.. summon 30 bucks.. no use complaining..

[ReBornBikeR]

I ever see bikers covering up one headlight (those that have 2 headlight) with numbers and wonder why they did that.

 

As a biker, we need to make other road users to notice us as much as possible and turning on the bike lights is one way to get drivers to see that we are there.

 

In fact our headlights should be as bright as possible and not like those malaysian kupkias which is so dim and useless

[gorgonitz82]

ah ha ... those cover headlight one most likely track bikes ... but then some for show only .... is covering one of the 2 headlight with stickers legal?

Don't think so..If ROV very bo liao stop you cannot find anythin to summon you then they sure summon you for that..

[Puffer]

My Headlight is perm on !

 

But so far,

No matter how bright you damn headlight is!

It doesn't always work in the morning.

 

Drivers in singapore have a problem.

Or should i say they're good !

They don need the mirrors,

Cause they don use it.

 

Some even can reverse and hit the wall.

 

The TP nowadays are so focus in catching

drunk driving, illegal mod, speeding.

 

They don seems to care about those A--H---

tat change lane w/o givin signal.

[ah786786]

But just to play safe,i on the lights when see ROV or TP....
