Have anyone lodge a complain to SAF ? Esp regarding SAF vehicles or drivers? Hahaha even better complain they are so slow on the road obstructing traffic.
-
so you want them to go fast and kena extra/charged?

Never read the Sign behind the vehicle ? 50km/hr ?Originally posted by Altis84:Have anyone lodge a complain to SAF ? Esp regarding SAF vehicles or drivers? Hahaha even better complain they are so slow on the road obstructing traffic.
Do you know that the vehicles have a beeper that tracks the overspeeding of drivers and drivers can be charged for exceeding 51km/hr ? -
ermm actually i know ...
hahaha maybe we public can help the drivers by complaining to saf loh...farker saf speed limit already increase to 70 for vans but their minibus is still 50. So fustrating when one minibus is crawling on the third lane and it creates a long queue of vehicles behind... den big trucks all start to overtake on the middle lane... i find it damn dangerous.
Due to the SWD... instead of letting the vehicle roll downslope... i see some SAF vehicles keep tapping on the brake...haiz... what a way to drive loh.
Maybe we can let one of the general try driving the minibus? see what he say -
You're going to need a SAF Rambo to recommend an increase in speed limit for drivers.Originally posted by Altis84:Maybe we can let one of the general try driving the minibus? see what he say
Not saying that it's unlikely but I guess it's just how the army operates i suppose. Since legible results are based on a 'feel good' (i like your face while doing it) basis in the army, coupled with the fact that promotion is based on education + recommendation, it makes more sense to drink beer with your superiors then to do any sort of real work in the army.
A public letter to ST forums would probably help. then again, it's going to take forever, but at least it's a start.
Maybe Altis84 would like to do it?[/i] -
well actually i always wanted to... to "help the drivers mah" kekeke. Poor drivers suffering loh i can see.
I dun mind tonners going at 50 cos they are huge... i am more particular abt the minibus... so small... go so slow.
Well i am not very good in writing so well i i wana write to forum...i need someone to write for me loh...
maybe we all tok abt this at st forum... maybe they extract our conversation wahahaha. -
By the time it gets thru all that red tape, ord loh.
-
eh i think the tonner is more powerful than the minibus and rover :O
-
well the issue is not whether powerful or not.. i can understand tonner travelling at 50 cos they are huge and cross country vehicles and they are not meant for going fast on normal rds... well for minibus... different lah... so small so easy to drive. less blind spots ... no bonnet... kaoz... and it is a admin vehicles... if it goes so slowly... how to transport doc and pple efficiently.?
well i not in army now... so ord not an issue loh

CDF comes into office, sit down by his desk, switch on his computer, read his e-mails.Originally posted by Altis84:Have anyone lodge a complain to SAF ? Esp regarding SAF vehicles or drivers? Hahaha even better complain they are so slow on the road obstructing traffic.
saw your complain, clicked on it, has a good laugh, deleted the e-mail.
proceed for breakfast. -
well... yar but one thing, dun blame the drivers yea?
the beeper thing is true.
plus if they get 10 beeps (recorded!!!!!!!!) they will kana extra.
so if you were the driver i'm sure u will do the same.
why the limit is so slow.... due to all the safety issues... in-camp speed limit, driver experience, "safest speed on road" etc etc
cos in the end what shows up in reports are not how effecient the drivers are at delivering stuff or transport, but how many accidents there are, therefore the system is this way.
one more thing. 50km limit is small issue.
the SAF ambulances don't have such a low limit,
however the safety rovers, being normal rovers will a cross, do have the limit... so what happens when a casualty needs to be sent to another medical center, or worse, a hospital? (emergency cases)
something to think about. -
well last time for my unit emergency just ignore the swd loh... the officer involved or gave the authorisation of swd jump will do a report.Originally posted by dk999:well... yar but one thing, dun blame the drivers yea?

no use complaining one lah. that why saf stand for served and fark off.
like me -
We use ambulances for those purposes....safety rovers only used to bring casualties from training site to closest BCS. That's fine cos' they are travelling through jungle tracks anyway...Originally posted by dk999:however the safety rovers, being normal rovers will a cross, do have the limit... so what happens when a casualty needs to be sent to another medical center, or worse, a hospital?

anyway saf real sux lah. hahaha -
Wah u very chek arc, i know lots of drivers in my unit, being V com many times n they always complain tat driver themselve also wanna drive faster but too bad SAF car got tat speed regulator, those who over speed will kena charge. U wanna complain maybe can complain to saf to request them to remove the speed limit.Originally posted by Altis84:Have anyone lodge a complain to SAF ? Esp regarding SAF vehicles or drivers?

the only vehicle with speed limit slower than a 5 ton is the crane, only 40km/h.

Maybe they should put SWDs on the SAF Audis?
After all, our taxes did pay for these stuff... -
yep... put it inside the audi man... okie we dun be bad... just set it at 80 loh same as gp car... well err if emergency den let it jump the commander write report loh to justify... perhaps they can den feel the pain.Originally posted by nomood:Maybe they should put SWDs on the SAF Audis?

cdf merc also must put... okie we nicer to him... we set it as 85km/h -
funny thing is, double decker buses, those long TIBS buses, lorries, trucks can all travel faster than a MID minibus.

some pple blind mah...

Raising the Speed limit has been brought up many times already to HQ S&T.
Especially since alot of Road's have their Speed limits increase, but answer is this.
Alot of our Drivers are Young and Inexperience NSFs, Thus the Speed Limit is kept at 50km/h.
Yes, you may complain that it's 'harder' to drive at 50km/h with all the faster moving traffic around you but at least you have lesser chance to do something fatal or reckless.
