Speed guns in effect in Trinidad & Tobago

[sMASH]

Hoss, the merge thing, I do that all the time by license office, and this is a short stretch, when u have the speed, people give u the chance. That was the protocol.

Just telling u it dont always work everywhere. Ppl dont always give you the chance.

That particular merge onto the bypass from license office isn't bad... However it is made more difficult be people who do not know how to merge. I do not have a quick vehicle so I usually come to crawl just at the point where I can see cars coming. Pick my gap, and proceed to match speed of traffic to merge into gap.
That particular ability probably came from weaving traffic in my earlier driving days. Makes it easier to do now.
Have never found myself coming to a complete stop at the end of the merging lane... Unless someone ahead decided to stop instead of go when he/she had the chance

[Gem_in_i]

Sometimes people speed up so you cant merge. If the light change and the vehicles come speeding then most times you don't get space to merge.
Also, if you merge and want to go into the right lane sometimes no one gives you a chance and they speeding ahead.
The speed limit there is 40 for those who never noticed but hardly anyone goes tht there.

[hong kong phooey]

half the problem is drivers afraid to merge because they afraid it will cause accidents or cannot judge the oncoming vehicle. What I normally do is flash lights when I giving someone a chance so they know I'm slowing down.
The other half of the problem is a lot of Trinidad drivers are road hogs and dont want to be courteous on the roads.
The third half of the problem is when u give some guys a chance they merge slow and take forever to get to speed .
With my maths do you think i will get a job in the Ministry of Finance or the government will hire me as a senator?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

is how men showing they don't know how to merge so wanna use that as an excuse to go over speed limit.

Driving isn't hard. Don't make it out to be. It is very easy to drive within the limits.

People need to stop trying to talk sense in this thread.

[drchaos]

It depends on what you driving ... driving within the speed limit can be very hard or very easy.

Man with a GTR, M3 or a 911 turbo dat probably impossible.

[rollingstock]

Lmao. Well we know who never drive a performance vehicle

same thing crossed my mind

Mountain cya be changing colour on we dan

Dunno bout you but every performance vehicle I have witnessed on the road was not doing de speed limit. Even see ah evo park up waiting for a ticket by the Caroni bridge ...

Anyway why you here trolling again rolls, I thought your period was done for the month ....

[rollingstock]

Your retorts are sad really.

[drchaos]

if you say so brah

[Morpheus]

Most "performance cars" I've seen were cruising. Sometimes in the left lane. Once I ever saw a GTR "doing it"

Most cars I've seen "doing it" are Almeras, Tiidas, Civics and Lancers.

[kamakazi]

Knowing you have the power to blitz past most gives you a serene feeling

[streetbeastINC.]

I dunno , but a frontier 2 door was proceeding very slowly in a NW direction today along the valencia stretch , when he suddenly and innocently lost control rolled 4 times clearing two electricity poles, resulting in epic fkin traffic.....

[wagonrunner]

"very slowly" is a relative term.
clearing two electricity poles however, would require a high velocity.

Unless it was sarcasm........*shrugs*

[drchaos]

You would be surprised at the amount of damage a vehicle moving at just 50-60 KPH can do.

But I think he was being sarcastic.

[Morpheus]

I detected sarcasm.....

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Speed gun on San do bypass by Prive.

[drchaos]

News just report the death toll on the roads this year was in the high 120 ties. Compared to last year for the same period was in the 130 ties.

Doesn't seem like speed limit enforcement doing much to curb the Death toll.

[eliteauto]

happy there is a reduction, speed gun enforcement is less than a year old, over time culture will change

[pugboy]

Saw them pulling over folks by blue waters orange grove westbound
However it appears that the gun personnel were hidden somewhere by Tri city in the bushes

[acesinghit]

in 1955 the average HP of our vehicles was around 60. Today, the average HP of our vehicles is in excess of 110HP so drivers in general need to reduce the desire to speed. A roro Tiida 1.5 will destroy a 1984 Laurel 2.4 GL even a Datsun 280C will get licks. A Kia Rio 1.4 is faster than those 1.8 and 2.0 sharkmouth Galants or even those older 626 MX 2.0. Vehicles came a long way in terms of performance so we need to take it easy by developing that discipline. When I was in school, I use to dream about owning a car with more than 100hp now look where technology has brought us.

[dude2014]

If I was Rohan, I would put some speed humps on de highway .......
It would help

Or not. Who cares about another driver?

[Ted_v2]

My laurel wettin tiida normal Dan.

[pugboy]

Is it true that the speeding ticket has been increased ? and to what ?
