Speed guns in effect in Trinidad & Tobago

[sMASH]

Sando, Chaguanas, ptown, Rio claro. PoS is not the only city/ town in Trinidad.
The parkade is the ssolution and needs to be implemented elsewhere. Until then, I find wrecking in places other than PoS to be a money making venture.

I find public transport to be a better/more convenient solution for me when I need to get business done in PoS, Arima or Tunapuna than fighting up with a park. Never need to go those other towns but public transport hasn't failed me yet. Cheaper than paying the wrecking fee too.

TBH we can all beyotch on what we think the perceived problems are or help in finding useful solutions until the Government does something differently.

[sMASH]

The time saving, convenience and security of a personal vehicle is too much an advantage for me.

Somebody tell me something.... Regarding the cost of the speed guns, initially it was $280,000 per speed gun... When they were planning to purchase 50 it was at a cost of $14M. Now i am reading in the papers that one of the speed gun costed $65,000 ONLY!!!! If so, where the other $215,000 gone from each one??
Lets see- $215,000 x 6 guns= $1,290,000.00. If the guns were indeed $65,000 ea, then someone pocked that Million plus!!! What do you think?

Maybe accessories and options plus the service, certification and training.. From what i have seen they have almost every option equipment wise

Forgive them ...
Maybe all they know is Sentra's and Corolla's where the "special features" are things like tachometers and digital clocks.

Is that like one of those special features where you're a wardsman in real but a Dr on 2nr?

last night at about 930pm south bound in front of Brian Lara Stadium they were there positioned like a Land Surveyor...caught quite a few vehicles going over 80km.

i do find the limit enforcement has led to better driving habits

[Morpheus]

No improved driving habits. People drive the same.

All it has led to is less speeding. Which is not a bad ting.

Someone pulling on you at 80kph still isn't nice.

[drchaos]

It seems like its easier for the police to enforce the speed guns on two lane highway's. The highest frequency of the speed traps tend to be south of Chaguanas.

Probably dangerous/risky for them to try and stop you on a three lane highway. Might be harder to spot you down the road.

[Morpheus]

So if most of the speeding is down south, send most of the equipment up north?

There are frequent speed traps up north man. Mostly in the night because up north, east/west has too much traffic during the day to average over 55kph. So it won't make sense throwing resources at that.

Yeah true,

What's the murder rate and detection of these crimes?

[viedcht]

Lol

[Morpheus]

Lard ZR logic again

[BrotherHood]

Buh d man right though

[sMASH]

people have to open their eyes, is the purpose of this exercise to reduce speed or to generate revenue? prevention is better than cure. set it up every quarter mile, then u would have no speed transgressions. but if u leave the roadways clear and only spuriously go out, then u allow the speed demons to drive above 80 and endanger the goodly citizens. u cant allow us to put so many people lives at risk so often.... make sure we cant speed no where.

fleck dat, put speed bumps every 300 feet. speeding will stop and lives will be saved, and ticketing will disappear.... win/win/win

[drchaos]

I second that! We need Speed bumps on the Highways!

Will save so many lives that T&T may become overpopulated.

[kamakazi]

Speed demons will remain speed demons.
Persons are still putting down the same bad drives as before just at a slightly reduced speed.

I have noted that the rich just don't give a flying f#(% about the speed limits. Vehicles that are in a certain price brackets moving like they have afterburners on.
Range rovers, AMG's, A5+ and so on ...
$1K is probably lunch money for some of these fellars.

Maybe they should have tiered speeding fines.
Vehicles 100k to 399K $1000, 400K to 799K $5000, 800K and above $10000.

I observed the driver of a Porsche Cayenne behaving like this..driving as though if he got stopped, he'd just give the officer the money to pay the ticket for him one time and a little 'something extra' for the trouble..

No need for it to be tiered like that. Just time for points on your license and after a certain number of points you get a time out from driving. Even scale it so 80-100 1pt 100-120 2 pts over 120 3 pts and 3 pts being 3 month ban and the points staying for a year. If you go to 4 pts in a year 6 month ban from driving etc.

Then that driving will stop cause those ppl not gonna want to hire someone to drive them around or travel.

[sMASH]

still need to catch them...

I once drove 11 months without a license ... and was never caught.
The problem is how do you enforce a driving ban.
