Likely the new and powerful EVs are at fault as a lot can easily zip from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds with instant torque acceleration from any speed.

Previously, speeding violations reached a 10-year-high of around 201,400 in the whole of 2024, a 72.9 per cent increase from 2023.
Since 2024, TP have stepped up enforcement measures and increased the activation function of red-light cameras which have detected over 42,400 speeding violations since April 2024.
"However, despite these stepped-up enforcement measures, the persistent rise in violations clearly indicates that enforcement alone is insufficient," the statement said, urging road users to "play their part" and curb speeding violations.
"This is a worrying trend," he said, adding that TP "will pull out all the stops to put an end to this".
To do so, TP intend to intensify enforcement operations and outreach programmes.
