speeders to jail

[VQ35HR]

المنامة - وزارة الداخلية
أكد المدير العام بالإدارة العامة للمرور العقيد الشيخ خليفة بن حسن آل خليفة أن «الإدارة قد بدأت باتخاذ إجراءات مشددة وصارمة حيال مرتكبي مخالفات تجاوز السرعة منها توقيف السائق لمدة 48 وحجز المركبة ورخصة القيادة إدارياً لمدة شهر واحد ثم عرض السائق على النيابة العامة، بعد أن أصبحت تلك المخالفة تشكل سبباً رئيسياً للحوادث البليغة والمميتة التي شهدتها شوارع المملكة في الآونة الأخيرة وراح ضحيتها عدد من مستخدمي الطريق وخاصة فئة الشباب».

وشدد العقيد في السياق نفسه على أن «الإدارة العامة للمرور لن تتهاون في اتخاذ تلك الإجراءات ضد كل من يعرض نفسه والآخرين للخطر وذلك من خلال تكثيف الحملات المرورية الخاصة بتنفيذ القانون في مختلف محافظات المملكة وخصوصاً الشوارع السريعة التي تكثر فيها الحوادث البليغة والتي أصبحت تهدد سلامة كافة مستخدمي الطريق». كما أوضح أنه «في ظل دعم واهتمام وزير الداخلية في تطوير أجهزة الوزارة كافة بما فيها الإدارة العامة للمرور فقد تم أخيراً تزويد الدوريات المرورية بكاميرات حديثة ومتطورة وذات كفاءة عالية تستطيع من خلالها الدوريات ضبط مخالفات السرعة وجميع والتجاوز الخاطئ واستخدام الهاتف النقال أثناء القيادة وغيرها من المخالفات الأخرى».

وقال المدير العام لإدارة المرور: «الدوريات مزودة أيضاً بطابعات تقوم بطباعة صورة للمخالفة فور ضبطها وتبين سرعة السائق مقارنة بسرعة الشارع لتكون دليلاً قاطعاً على صحتها»، مضيفاً «كما أن الإدارة العامة للمرور بدأت بوضع عدد من الكاميرات المتنقلة لضبط مخالفات السرعة بمختلف شوارع المملكة، فعلى سبيل المثال قامت الإدارة بوضع كاميراتين متنقلتين على شارع الشيخ خليفة بن سلمان باتجاه المنامة على نفس المسار وبمسافة متباعدة بهدف تأكيد صحة المخالفة من خلال استمرار السائق بقيادة المركبة بسرعة تفوق سرعة الشارع».

[tyrant]

Yup guys be very careful, now they got video cameras and radars in the patrols... they print out the image of the speed in the car itself!!!

The camera's range is well over 1Km so the muroor doesnt even have to be behind you or chase you at high speed!

Drive safe guys coz the punishments are not worth it..

[Kayman]

it's bahrain... it will never happen!

ppl will do whatever they wanna do on the streets and then their "was6a" will take care of it all.

do the cams get pics from behind ? (i mean UAE they have some camera's fitted in the back and they can catch you when you are going fast from their back)

if it's not , prob. of getting caught is less , you can hummer the brakes :D and slow down before them

the problem is not patrols , it's the camera's they put in random places :S

[ED]

why would u want to go super fast on the road to start with?

Bro the cameras are in the patrols are the ones that you should worry about they can catch you from a long distance it doesnt matter from behind/front/side if youre in the camera's line of site it catches you. (the cameras/radars are also movable so he can move it independant from the direction of the patrol car.)

and the images are very very clear... so clear that even at 400m they can fill an A4 size photo frame with a pic of your plates.

hammering the brakes is no use cause the whole thing is recorded on video and the cop can print the max speed you reached from that video!!!

like i said be careful guys coz its not worth it especially when the fines can reach anywhere from 100 - 350BD (or maybe even more!)

[Death666wish_]

screw them bastards, as if we have anywhere else to blow our steam, build us a cheap everyday/every weekend track so we can have fun for 5/10/15 bd at most, not 75 and break-your-back prices whenever they feel like having a track day.

[ZEX]

why would u want to go super fast on the road to start with?
i didn't say that i'll be flooring it all the time ! i usually cruise at 120km/h

i'm talking IN CASE that i was fast and saw one

i don't speed nowadays , i just accelerate fast to 120 then cruise :D

[VQ35HR]

why would u want to go super fast on the road to start with?

140 is not super speed .... it's normal for " cleared " highway
this low is BS ..... becouse of the BS speed limits ... 80 on a highway !!!

We could just put a glossy finish to the numberplate and make it so reflective, even the stupid camera wont catch it because it will glare with the flash.

and highway speed limit is 100 not 80
80 is only city limits.
tyrant the camera's they have in the cruisers don't capture speeds, only video frames, for the snappers they have to mount them on a road, try the new mina salman highway on a Thursday night you'll find one box in front of an under cover car.the cruisers just have speed radars in there cars, nothing else, the in car snap ur talking about has only been used in one cruiser.

we r talking about hamed town highway ( it called shaikh khalefa highway ) - in big parts of it the speed limit is 80

[ZEX]

should be 80 MPH :p

[Night Crawler]

we r talking about hamed town highway ( it called shaikh khalefa highway ) - in big parts of it the speed limit is 80
i'm talking about the same highway, it's an international highway rule that when a highway passes really close to a city the speed limits have to be dropped to 80kmh or 55 mph. u'll see the 80 boards only when passing by hamad town and when entering manama, i.e. right before seef area


it's just that, that highway is so small that it ends just after starting, our luck, u need a real experience try travelling saudia, u'll see the same concept

[ED]

people don't really understand highways because there is no education, there are international limitations on highway speeds all over the world, however, there is quite a big movment to increase the speeds because the new cars have improved safety and performance, but the problem is still with the older vehicles that are still drevin on the same highways.

[Hider]

guys , what about the radar detectors ! that's not help?
I have this one , But i didn't used it , it's noisy !!

The Morror Book is too old and they need to be updated !! they havent update anything since 1974

can you - educated people - give me a link to this international low , the international organization or the international agreement that talk about speed limitations ?

[Striker]

It used to be 24hours but now 48hours and the fine is around 110BD...not sure about now....!! It really does depend on the judge on how much you will be fined and yea they did expand their short stay jail in the directorate of traffic in Isa Town....!!

But yea...3aaaaaaaaaadiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiii!!

I can't be bothered to dig them up at the moment I'm sorry, but if your interested google it, and it will also be useful if you google traffic engineering, design speed, 85th percentile rule, and aggregate safety. also keep in mind that these rules have to do with the environment, pedestrian safety, noise pollution and other things.

[BLOODLINE]

bahrain is crowded with cars even after midnight so chillout guys, you wont have the place to speed in + its the 100 time we hear about it .. so this is nothing else than the "annoucement of the new cams"

[Thug Life]

I dont get it walla,alot of you guys complain about it but in the other hand its better for us so there is no punk as$ Mr.drift wanna be kill alot of ppl on the highway to me Im with the new rule there is a reason why the drag strip is made for us

though i go the occassional blast at the odd hour and the right place, im all for any stricter laws that the traffic directorate comes up with cuz driving conditions/ manners are just goin towards the shitter by the second, lives are lost every week out here. even reckless drivers should be stopped

only reckless drivers/road hogs will have a problem with these stict rules

ive been driving close to 10 years now and even doing a simple thing like changing lanes requires 100% focus cuz of all the charging rhinos behind me

youre at a bloody intersection checking if all is clear and a ezhole behind u is blasting his horns!!!! happens everyday, makes me wonder about the average bahrainis sanity!!!

i wouldnt mind a traffic pol car patrolling every 500m of our roads (not just highways)

it wouldnt bother me

[ZEX]

ive been driving close to 10 years now and even doing a simple thing like changing lanes requires 100% focus cuz of all the charging rhinos behind me

you are getting old man ! even driving @ 40km/h needs focus coz there are others doing 80 on the next lane !

most accidnts happen in intersections , roundabouts and traffic lights (mostly which have camera's ) when i'm close to a traffic with a camera on it , i put 200$ focus on it so that i don't pass it in the wrong time , in others i can at least pass it after 0.5 sec. of red light , but with the camera you don't have 0.0001 sec !

and arad's traffic light is the most famous example

"They" are called "Circuit Racing Club"... and "they" are there to make circuit driving accesible to everyone.

So unless you are oblivious to what is happening here in bahrain, there are people who work their assses off FOR FREE to accomodate those with "your' opinion!

But then again, I have no idea why you are complaing.. since you own a lancer right????

"They" are the people i talked to at the BIC not CRC. and i'm just say that as a reply when they say "we should take them off the streets and let them blow their energy on the track" or whatever, that not many people can pay BD75 for one day, if they made it cheaper then that's good.
and i don't speed anyway nor do i drive like an idiot, but i do drive at 130/140kph to get to uni and to them that = jail time, so now i'll have to hit the road an hour earlier just incase their crappy road designs cause jams and i get stuck for the time i saved driving over the speed limit.
yup that's mainly my complaint, i wanna go to uni not jail. bas lain at7al6am wayid a5arbi6 o ada5il shay fil thani.

but on the subject of idiots and reckless drivers then yeah a few of them off the road would be really nice.

if you drive at 100Km/h for 40Km's (that's from muharraq to sakheer) you'll reach after 24 minutes

if you do drive at 140km/h , you'll reach after 18 minutes

the difference is just 6 minutes !!


and yeah even in KSA they send you and your car to "jail" and number of dayz depend on your speed (don't forget how big and long their highways are)

don't blame it on CRC coz you want to go to uni faster that's it :D

as tyrant said , it's not worth it , just drive slowly and be late 10 minutes

and please don't think like some other members here and think i'm flaming you and get mad ! , it's just a discussion buddy :)

[ED]

sorry ya5y, if u dont want to be late you wake up early and leave the house early, thats what normal ppl do, leaving the house 5 min before your calss and driving like an A hole on public streets is just stupid.

[designo]

Well, there will always be "glass half empty" people! That's normal. It's always easier to complain than to find solution!

[RED SRT8]

i think they put it to get more $ kkk

that is the point ^_^

if they realy want to save people they just have to warn him not give him a fines for the first time

they said they dont want any more accident kkk by giving more fines and they think they will stop every one !!

i dont thinkso

[ADM]

Guys, how do we know the fine it legitimate?

I mean, when you pass by a normal speed camera, you get flashed 3 times, and that way you know that you were speeding and got caught. But with IR cameras, they could just pick on anyone and issue tickets right and left, and make sh1t loads of cash off our backs. And if someone gets caught on purpose, even thought he was not speeding at the time, he cannot argue the ticket and prove he wasn't it. But they can just come out and say "well, the camera caught you, so you must have been speeding".

I think this IR thing is a load of crap.

[Death666wish_]

and not to forget now they'll issue more tickets on tint and seat belts, i always wear my seat belt, but what's up with the tint? we're not in communist russia!

ZEX: it takes me more or less 15 minutes from home to the traffic lights at hamad town, and then 30 minutes waiting at the lights depending on my luck, if i drive at 130ish i reach the lights in 5 minutes, don't u have morning classes??
and anyway i don't drive like an A hole, i take the left lane and drive along with the other drivers, i don't overtake from the right side, i don't flash my beam, i don't stick to people's bumpers, so i wouldn't consider it reckless driving, but they want their money and they'll send my ass to jail if they cought me, anyone thinks that's fair?

and what ADM said, i always wondered about el m5alfat el "3'yabya", how ligit are they? like they told me i had m5alafat 7zam and passing a red light and speeding, who the hell saw me? i don't pass reds ela at the middle of the nights and small empty roads, i don't remember seeing cops, what they just look at sumone who has a record and earn a few extra bucks on our behalf?

[Quarantine]

you shouldn't pass red lights period. day or night main roads or small roads.
thats how accidents happen. just when you think the coast is clear........BAM! Its not worth the 10 seconds its going to save you, or the trouble you might get in if you get caught

[Death666wish_]

i don't always do that, but i'm sayin i did it once or twice, and i mean roads that it can't be possible for others to be going that fast, if he's going fast enough for me not to see him then he needs to be hospitalized. cuz he'll actually kill himself by himself no matter if i cross the light or not.

Give me one good reason why I should trust the directorate of transport.

How do I know the ticket I am sent is legitimate? At least if the camera flashes, I know I was speeding.

If I was driving 100km/h and I know for a fact I was. After a few days, a fine arrives for speeding. It will show me time and place, and I know that I was driving 100 and not breaking the law. How do I convince them that I was driving 100 and not 120 or 140?

i'm with you on that, if they send us anything "nakilha o naskit", they can send anything to anyone and we can't prove that we were obaying the law. they don't give a rat's a** about the deaths, all they want is to earn their salaries off our backs, after they made the jail thing speeders are less on the road, so they came up with the phone thing, or maybe of sumthin else i hear that "some one" brought some of those bluetooth ear things whatever they're called and wanted to sell'em, and i don't know about u, but i don't see any bloody highways where every week someone dies.

when the ir cameras catch you, they also note down your speed. It happens in many countries, we all know that we speed..we just want to find a loop hole! my friend got caught speeding, and the speed that they quoted him was the speed he knew he was doing..also, they show u the picture right there and then..and on the speeding ticket, it says that the driver has seen the picture already, so they dont send it to your house or anything like that.
