Picked up one jap pax at cuppage go geylang almost 10pm.. Lucky kana stuck only 5 mins at the traffic before turning left to selegie.. I saw blue light from afar.. Thought police... Then closer saw cisco and barricades.. The blue light is the person carry the kavadi..
I felt i was lucky this morning... Was driving along admiralty road west towards woodlands centre around 2am... I know this is wrong.. Squeeze in 5 pax .. Interviewed them opposite micron say wanna go woodlands centre.. Ok la nearby since going esso along wdlands ave 1 wash cab... Then just before riverside road.. Kana road block! Unexpected... My appeal for the speeding fine not successful need pay $130 n 4 points.. Thought sure kana summon again... Lucky officer ask where we going.. Say next time dont do again.. Damn heng!

Please do not take more passengers than permitted, you are lucky road block is mainly to catch drinkers or some crime committed earlier, but if you get into any accident, die die talk SMLJ also lose, and may also have to paid a heavy fine and lose your licence if the accident involved police.
The only speeding that I appealed and successful was a pax I picked at 1 am..Pan pacific to hougang Ave 3, he is a manager working there, what happen was that, he asked me to go by niko highway into KPE, on the way, he looks pale and his phone kept ringing, he answered here and there, called here and there. Then he asked me, can go faster or not uncle, my mother is dying, the maid do not know what to do, I already call ambalance, but I worry....lim peh enter KPE at 100 km/hr, shots taken.
Unfortunately, his mother passed away, but he left a name card with me, so I called him a month after I get the summon, he agreed to help me in my appealing. End up, TP gives only a stern warning.

My fault.. Next time will auto reject 5 pax...
i was flashed along kpe around 3am.. Heading back town... Caught 84kmh.. Speed limit 70kmh.. Sent appeal email unsuccessful... Say my actions may cause n even death to others... LLST.., sunday earning use to pay the $130...

Paying is of course heart pain, but the ultimate is the points, especially if you are a full timer in taxis driving, those points had killed many TDs unable to drive, especially those who like to chiong one.
Every skill and experienced TDs would had kenna all these fines and points, including accident, the matter is only how much, how far and how we learned to change out driving style. If you tell me he is an experience TD with no record of fines, points deducation and minor accidents, my bowahism instinct tell me, bullshit
