has there been a leak about where the police are likely to set up mobile speed cameras? An e-mail message has been going around, warning motorists about certain roads. But the Traffic Police feel that's not such a bad thing, if it makes drivers more careful. *or rather extra careful with their wallets. *

As these cameras are portable, they can be set up on any road. They are supported by a tripod stand and can easily be hidden from view as they are not bulky. A policeman standing anywhere along the road can operate the equipment by himself. *he probably hide in the shadow of those trees during the day or at night. those shadow that can cast a blind-spot for motorist. jeremy, if you are reading this, you know what i meant. *

Using laser technology, the cameras detect speeding vehicles and capture images of the vehicle. Police spokesman ASP Victor Keong would not say if the list was authentic. But it does help, as drivers would observe the speed limit on the roads they think have mobile speed cameras, said the Traffic Police. *does it means new techonology also means increment in road tax too? *

The commander of the Traffic Police, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Teo Kian Teck, said: 'That (sharing of information) itself is an indication of our enforcement impact. Traffic Police cannot stop them from sharing such information. If that sharing leads to better driving behaviour, we are totally fine with that. Ultimately, our aim is not to catch people but to deter them from speeding.We hope motorists will realise that speeding kills and that their time on the roads will be better spent being mindful of others rather than being focused on avoiding detection.' * somehow people tend to speed after they snail-walked past the camera. the taxi driver does that*

The Traffic Police have stepped up enforcement in the last two years. Last year, 130,385 traffic summonses were issued to motorists, compared with 106,903 in 2002. These were for offences like beating the red light and speeding. MORE SPEEDING TICKETS!!! *More paper wasted. *

From January to March this year, 13,173 speeding tickets were issued, 3,271 more than in the first quarter of last year.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Teo said: 'We want to ensure greater compliance from motorists in their driving behaviour. The Traffic Police would like to send a strong message to road users that we are continually on the lookout for serious violators. We will not hesitate to (take enforcement action) against them and pedestrians too, as all road users need to be made aware of their actions on the roads. Their actions affect not only their own safety, but that of others. All play a part in road safety.' *All played a part to boost the economy, ways like increasing the tax?*
