Speedy

Albert Tay- I refer to report " Kopi money risk and wish to share more than 10 years of experience driving my wife to her hometown.

We travel on the North-South Highway via the Second Link two weekends a month. My experience is that 90 per cent of speed traps are not official operations-that is, no speeding tickets can be issued. They are typically informal set-ups focusing on stopping cars with Singapore licence plates. Drivers from Singapore have encouraged a burgeoning cottage industry by fishing out Malaysian currency every time they are stopped. Instead of scrapping plans to drive to Malaysia, we should abandon the temptation to bribe the police. Try this the next time you are stopped at a road block for speedding, illegal U-turns or whatever supposed reason: Ofiicers on a genuine police operation issue tickets immediately. Call the bluff of those who linger and hint that you might want to settle on the spot- for example $30, instead of $90, or save yourself the trouble of paying the fine at some distant location. Ask for the ticket immediately. I no longer bother to argue that I was not speeding. Owing to the frequency of  my visits to Malaysia, I regularly get stopped  no matter what speed I might be doing. They invariably pretend to write down my details or simply wave me off.  I habe even overheard some policemen say in Malay to let me go and focus on others ( who might pay). 

Over the years, I have not been issued tickets and have saved thousands simply by not bribing. For those who do recieve tickets, your do not need to go out of your way to pay the fines. Counters are ocasionally opened at the Malaysian Customs. All existing fines, including those from automated speed cameras, can be conveniently settled there. Naturally, those who want to give kopi money at xuch or other operations are inviting arrest.

But instead of making blunder on the highway here are some riders recommendation  to do. Below suggest riding from expert and expertise for you to apply :

1.  Drive consistantly on police regulation.
2. Complete your driving licence.
3. Do not drink alcohol.
4. Get some food
5. Pray to God for road safety
