Despite my taking precautions for safe driving and obey traffic laws, I kenna summon at the Gelang Patah R&R carpark for driving without seatbelt...
I had my seatbelt on all the way from KL down and only released it when I reach the R&R and turning into the carpark as I was high tide and needed to pee. Immediately after turning inside..... I saw a row of about 20 Traffic Police bikes parked along 1 side of the carpark and Polis checkpoint nearby..... too late for me to put back my seatbelt and was waved to the side by one of the policeman. Despite explaining to him I had my seatbelt on and only released the catch while turning into the carpark..... he refused to accept my explanation. Brought me to the sidetable where the indian corporal gave me 2 choices.... a) pay the compound fine of RM$300 on the spot.... or b) follow them back to the station for documentation and then go court to explain to the magistrate if I still insist had not committed any offence.
KNN lan lan pay up the RM$300 and curse them under my breath. During all this while I had forgotten my high tide and later realised some pee had leaked out.
Should have taken the Causeway route back instead of Tuas.
The rows of Traffic Police motorbikes at the carpark...
