They are apparently trying to get some system in place on these lines but it will take some time.Jack Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324737814154929009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-42930465615861552722012-10-06T09:24:28.921+05:302012-10-06T09:24:28.921+05:30The expressway is really weird, the toll booth peo...The expressway is really weird, the toll booth people smile and say hello, etc. It's all very odd and somewhat heartening :)<br /><br />I don't know why they cant tie up mobile payments (like Ezcash or whatever it is called) with police fines. That would make paying fines convenient and reduce bribery as well.Offthebeatentrackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06520815757721553880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-44771254262968374282012-10-03T17:01:48.482+05:302012-10-03T17:01:48.482+05:30Thanks maf.

When driving alone and there is nothing in sight one gets impatient and wants to get it over with quickly.Jack Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324737814154929009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-44377586840079418152012-10-03T11:47:32.018+05:302012-10-03T11:47:32.018+05:30Two points to ponder when speeding on the highway:...Two points to ponder when speeding on the highway:<br />1. as with most equipment of this nature - it is highly unlikely that they can accurately catch anything within a 10% tolerance (think about how often they have to re-calibrate this and couple this with our work-ethic). <br />2. the other thing is i only go to the Baddgema exit (to go to Hikks) which is about 78.5 km down from Kottawa. If you go at 110km/h - it take you 42 mins, 120 km/h - it takes 39 mins, 130km/h 36 mins ie. incremental time saving of an extra 10km/h is 3 mins. All of the speed traps I have seen are under bridges (as pointed out) and most of the bridges are in the section closer to Kottawa.<br />Personally I set the cruise control at 110km/h and enjoy the journey.. but there are some nuggets if you want to really speed...<br />mafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969804179211259643noreply@blogger.com
