YOG in Singapore

Is it a bookable traffic offence if you don't give way for whatever reason on designated YOG GIVE WAY lane?

I recall it is...
Fines will be similar to bus lane....

Fine for bus lane is S$130 and 3 demerit points, izzit?
Any idea if YOG vehicles are mounted with cameras like in buses?

Eg The PIE has four lanes, sometimes three lanes either way.
Left most lane is for slow moving traffic,
2nd left most lane is designated for YOG vehicles leaving
only 1 or 2 right most lanes for other vehicles.
Right most lane is for fast or overtaking vehicles.
If there is a vehicle breakdown or accident, wouldn't it be a real OrGy on the road?
The arterial roads only have three lanes which leaves only one lane for normal traffic.
What if you need to filter?
If YOG vehicles snap a picture, how can they tell you are not just filtering and not deliberately not giving way?

Aiyah, Way2Go, the spirit of the games lah! A bit of give and take lah, not everything need to be black and white right?

Tt’s why my hubs installed CCTV in my car…

If they take a pics n talk rubbish, we have evidence to back up…

3Boys, I got no problem with the give n take part.

It just that I had a recent experience with the TP on waiting in a double yellow zig zag zone.
Technically, I wasn't in the zone as I was waiting in a gap that was not marked as such in a double yellow zig zag zone and I felt the traffic warden didn't follow procedure. I received a ticket thro' the mail.
Aniwae to cut a long story short, there were grounds for appeal.
I went to TP and saw this DSP (I think) who tell me grandmother story about how she raise her kids :faint:
She didn't want to listen to any circumstances or reason. Everything by the book - basically her position was you kena summon, then you kena summon and pay. What is the purpose of the appeal process anyway if they don't listen and consider? Is it a just for show?
Anyway she said if I don't accept her verdict, I can write in an appeal which was what I did.
My summon was waived with a warning. But the explanation given was not accurate so I would call the traffic warden's integrity into question.

My point is all these people just work accordingly to SOP; so if the YOG driver doesn't exercise discretion and judgement, just snap a picture and you end up answering for it to TP and you get the same DSP :!: :faint:
You know what I mean :x

[Way2GO]

Oh I even asked the DSP to go confirm the markings on the ground.

Her reply?
'You write in to LTA'
:faint: :faint:
