F8uck hell.

Was driving 90km/h on the left and middle lane all the way to and from KLIA. And at this particular stretch that went downhill, yes, on a wide ass 3 lane stretch, I got flashed.

It was somewhere after Nilai before Kajang exit towards KL.
Can't remember exactly where because I lost my head.
So bloody furious. My car hardly reaches 100kph and I always drive at 90kph to keep the car cool and steady and now I got a fine!

I checked my speed and it was just a bit over 90kph which is understandable because it was going downhill.

I really don't understand the reason for them to impose such a slow speed limit. The only outcome of this implementation is causing people to brake and brake and create a jam.

*Funny thing is that there were 2 other cars who overtook me earlier on the fast lane, they were not flashed. I was in the middle lane with a trailer next to me on the left lane at the time of the flashing.

Thanks man!
It gave me a slight relief although I have to face another 3 days on uncertainty.

My biggest grouse with AES or any speed trap for that matter is, if you really want to handle the road deaths issue, do it at sharp bends or trunk roads.
Not on a frickin wide 3 lane stretch on a highway!!

It was 90kph and I was doing just over that. Just.
It was over because it was on a downhill.

And the cars that overtook me were around 100m in front of me.
I didn't see them getting flashed and I didn't see them breaking to suggest that they knew when to slow down.
The only car close to me was the trailer on my left whom I was overtaking.

I really don't get the point of implementing a 80kph on a highway stretch, 3 god damn lanes, clear straight road, a bit downhill slope.
Really hard to keep the car at 90kph.

If they want people to drive that slow, better not use the highway then.
Let the cows use the highway.

I'm all for road safety but this is not the correct way.

Oh sorry gal.

I am not one to criticize the gov'ts every move and I do agree with the enforcements on the road safety matter but do it where it really matters and not make it look like a cash cow. Finding the easiest way to collect summonses.

Instead of implementing all the 80kph speed limits on a highway, why not
- educate the drivers to not hog the middle lane especially when driving way below the speed limit and the left lane is empty.
- use signals
- not drive too slowly. implement a sort of minimum speed limit. Yeah, extremely slow cars are a danger too.

It's not always speed kills. There are many other factors like slow drivers in the middle lane.
