Most of the people in Calicut and Kannur in Kerala would have noticed a new trend seen among overspeeding private bus drivers,just before they approach a speed interceptor vehicle the opposite bus driver gives him a signal by flashing his headlights about some distance away, so he reduces speed and then again overspeeds after crossing the speed interceptor vehicle( Both RTO AND KERALA POLICE HAVE SPEED INTERCEPTOR VEHICLES).So whats the use of such speed interceptors, we need more of pole mounted type rotating cameras for speed interception.

The best way to stop that is laser speed detectors. And if someone is over speeding give them a ticket right away and keep a record and fix a bar that if someone exceeds that bar in a particular time span - cancel/suspend his license.

As per KMV rules, speed is limited to 60Km/hr for heavy vehicles and speed governor in each commercial vehicle is a must. But most of them are not obeying! So this need to be checked and penalized. If MVD/police started to check this for 2 days these Bus operators association would go for sudden strike. That is the main issue.

kenlitting its not only the private bus drivers who alert others regarding interceptor/ checking by police. even drivers of private vehicles and bikers alert oncoming traffic. its the norm in kerala these days.
