Watch out! Slow Ferraris ahead!
While traveling home from ECP today, The Chosen One loves to go via the newly opened KPE. It links all the way to Tampines which is really near our place.
However, that tunnel has a strict speed limit of 70km per hour. It's famous for the large numbers of speed cameras in it and on its opening, lots of unsuspecting drivers were caught speeding.
While dutifully following the speed limit and sometimes even going below the speed limit (it's the car in front!), we saw a whole convoy of Ferraris with a couple of Maseratis thrown in for good measure.
Most of them were red. Maybe 2 were black and I remember seeing a silver one. But the rest were definitely the trademark red colour of Ferrari.
I'm sure the owners will have plenty of spare cash to pay the speeding fines, so I believe it's the demerit points system that is deterring them from speeding. Once out of the tunnel, the convoy immediately sped up.
How often can you travel side by side with Ferraris even when the roads are clear?
