However, slowly we learned, taxi driver like me from the west mostly scare of going there, but I told myself, like it or not must go, no go, no learn, go, can learn. So now, I learned
GPS HELPS!
Taxi Driver can only remember shortest way to estate. Not to block number.

The thing about Singapore Road, there is no fix logic to follow, difference estate use difference "logic" or even no logic.
So, it is very difficult to fully know all the road.
Maybe the logic is, make us drive till blur blur, Jam till blur blur and then we will also blur blur ........ pay money, pay more money.

KPE just drive at 70 to 80 can already, it is not about the camera alone, it is also about accident, touch wood, one accident inside KPE alone is going to make you at the focus of LTA and Traffic police, they are so worry of jam at KPE< even tolling your vehicle out also difficult -

Personally, you hv to understand traffic camera at expressway, especially KPE, at some point in time, within few cars moving, one will be travelling slightly above 80 for a split few seconds, then, there will be a flash.As a driver you should know that once there is a flash, everyone slow down immediately and drive more carefully, flash inside KPE is very prominent, far away you can also see it or notice it, so you will also drive with care.
Most likely, unless you are travelling constantly at 100 or above, nobody is going get a summon, that is why many who thot they get camera and wait for letter which did not come even after 2 weeks.
The objective is only flashed to warn motorist, not to summons. Is like telling all of us, hey slow down..but if you are travelling constantly at 100 and above, then you may get a summon

did a TP told u so? where's your source of underlined info? still it's up to TP to decide whether to summon you, still at their mercy upon flashing

Probably he's based on experience, i oso kenna flash 2 times , no summon (taxi)
another friend kenna flash 1 time no summon (taxi)
then got another friend kenna flash and kenna warning letter(no fine or pts) said travelling at 82km/hr (pte car) , but i think his real speed is 92km/hr

I also kena red light camera but no summon, last time they use film cameras for speed cameras and red light cams, sometime film finish liao, but still flash.. Now i don't think use film.. Maybe memory full...
Btw, modern cars speedo normally not accurate one, usually actual speed lower meter show 90km/hr actually only 81-88km/hr something like that..
Older cars slightly more accurate, cos they base on wheel rotation. If u use stock rims and tyres size same as stock, it will be accurate.
Modern speedometer all electronic, connected to the transmission, so it takes the average rotational speed of the driveshaft assuming all four wheels have full traction, so car manufacturer normally calibrate slightly higher then actual speed.
The more expensive euro cars normally has more accurate electronic speedometer as it rely on pulses coming from wheel ABS sensor.

all these speed cameras just for show,PIE itself got at least 2,somemore i so careful overovershot speed limit at least by 10 km/hr but nothing hapened after 2 weeks!

Minus 5km/hr from ur speedometer is ur actual speed... Gps zhun...
