IE heading towards Changi, behind Clementi Camp.
I saw a convoy of armored vehs moving at very fast speed. I thought during peace time ops, all SAF vehs must follow speed limit of 50kph? And how come they are allowed to travel on expressway? -
i was travelling inside
-
Oh sure?Originally posted by alexkusu:i was travelling inside 
Then tell me wat veh you are in at that time. And wat was the last vehicle of the convoy?

don't talk cock lah.Originally posted by alexkusu:i was travelling inside -
Its allow but SWD kept running only...
-
Got no directive that say cannot leh.
-
There is a directive that says, during exercise vehicle convoys are not allowed on expressways. Must use old roads. Dunno true or not...
-
SWD beep 3 times and you're out.
-
usually they will get civilian trailers to ferry the armored vehicles from camps to camps (assuming they are not very big).
reason being it's faster this way and won't be weird seeing these vehicles moving on the roads. -
Cant be. SAF emphasize on SAFETY. if speed... then accident how..Originally posted by Gordonator:usually they will get civilian trailers to ferry the armored vehicles from camps to camps (assuming they are not very big).

If got ah... It'll take my unit 3hrs to travel from Selarang to LCK training area liao... -
Its a long convoy of V200. Different color flags hang onto its antena. Got white, red etc etc. Not too sure if there are Bronco coz partially block by the trees. Last veh is a 5Tonner. One thing for sure, they are all speeding
-
regarless NPNT rule still apply here. why didn't u take pics?
-
Because I'm working lah. Location pretty near to the expressway and the moment I heard some funny engine sound, I turn and look and saw that convoy. Think they r heading back to camp after live fire ex because in the morning can hear boom boom boom. If at nite, can even hear live firing as far as SAFTI.......... GPMG, 84, AMX etc etc.Originally posted by Gordonator:regarless NPNT rule still apply here. why didn't u take pics? -
There is such a directive but normally unit COs do't bother unless you are talking about ATEC.Originally posted by DarthBart:Don't think got such a directive la...

As for Armoured vehicles on expressway, only wheeled A vehicles are alloedd and they do not have SWD to begin with. Bronco is definetly out cos it is a tracked vehicle unless GSI and ROV issue special permit. The new V200 is a soild vehicle. Can accelerate from 0 to 70 in 12 seconds. Utilisng allision Automatic gear box, same as the 5 tonners.
Cheers!! -
ahhh~ the new batch of gundams have finally arrive.
-
I have seen M113 speeding in PIE before about 15 years or so ago
-
Maybe some units doing/fighting ATEC ba..SInce TS says got different coloured flags..
Though I can't think of any reason why they should speed.. -
Tracked vehicles will not neccessarily damage the road - there are rubber things you can fit to the track to help prevent damage. I think the main issue might be weight.
-
Not true. Bikes can go up to 70km/h a few years back. I think it depends on the vehicles la.Originally posted by Manager433:
