I am traumatize by today event.

This morning when I go for works I was driving along the PIE expressway. There was this big dump truck, the kind carry sands in front of me. The truck was doing 60km/hr at the extreme left lane. I can’t see what in front of me other than the truck and this is dangerous.

So I overtake the truck and when you overtake you need to increase your speed isn’t it? If not how? Horn/give a hand signal to trucker driver to slow down?

So after overtake, I switch back to left lane (left lane for slow vehicle) and I spotted this traffic police with his stationary BMW at the shoulder lane. He was carrying a laser speed camera looking at my direction.

After 2 min of driving, the traffic police (BMW) came beside me and signal me to stop. He proudly show me his new his latest gadget which I have clocked a speed of 83km/hrs. I exceeded 20km and the fines was $150/- & 6 demerit points that what the officer told me.

After much negotiating he actually let me go with a warning, much to my surprise. Whahahaha. To be honest, the officer was a nice chap.

The thing is I noticed mostly slow vehicles were target. If one traveling at 80km/hrs at some point of time, still I think it acceptable. It’s not like doing a F1 racing.
Have you guys travel 60km/hr, boh? I tell you, you will not kill by road accident but instead of boredom.

So assuming I drive at the legal speed limit (60km/hrs for van) so how to overtake in order not to exceed my speed limit?

If for those in van/lorry/truck obeying the 60km/hr rules and don’t overtake, you can imagine the stretch of the extreme left lane.

There are speedsters, who race at 120km/hrs like Michael Schumacher, please target them instead.
