Traffic Police (TP) officers were seen in what appeared to be an unmarked vehicle stopping a van along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) on Sunday (Oct 11), according to a video uploaded to the SG Road Vigilante YouTube page.<\/p>\n
In the video, a green commercial van bearing the branding of Clean Solutions can be seen travelling along the rightmost lane of the expressway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It then speeds past the vehicle recording the incident, which was purportedly travelling at just under 70kmh, according to the dashcam footage.<\/p>\n
The video then cuts to a separate clip further down the road, where what appears to be an unmarked police vehicle activates its blue and red emergency lights before pulling in front of the van.<\/p>\n
“Ah ha, this one (the van) kena<\/em> caught already,” a voice can be heard saying.<\/p>\n “This green van was speeding on lane one, then this Mazda is traffic police. Catch him already.”<\/p>\n The van then slows down as the police vehicle guides it towards the left. The police vehicle stops along the road divider, with both vehicles eventually moving out of frame.<\/p>\n In the comments section, many users praised the traffic police for clamping down on errant drivers.<\/p>\n “Wow, cam-car very happy,” said one, commenting on how elated the voice sounded. “After seeing this video, I am also very happy.”<\/p>\n A user also commended: “Good catch TP… there are many such vans and trucks abusing traffic lanes for speeding, TP should consider increasing TP unmarked vehicles.”<\/p>\n “Thank you for keeping our roads safe,” another user wrote.<\/p>\n @asiaone<\/a> Remember, the traffic police conducts enforcement through open and covert patrols, as well as speed enforcement cameras.
