eg.....3 lane expressway:
3rd lane (extreme left) = heavy vehicle (trailer / clement mixer)
2nd lane (middle) = light goods vehicle (lorry / van)
1st lane (extreme right) = cars
Hmm....overtaking is by the left if there is space.....emergency vehicle....eerrr most likely need to consider using the road divider (island)Trex-450

Road hogging is proscribed under Rule 5 of the Road Traffic Rules, which states that (a) every vehicle which is moving at a slow rate of speed shall be driven as close to the left-hand side of the roadway as possible, and (b) every vehicle shall at all times be driven in such manner as not to obstruct vehicles moving at a faster speed. Breach of that Rule is an offence under Section 131 of the Road Traffic Act, which attracts a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine or 3 months’ imprisonment for the first offence, and a $2,000 fine or 6 months’ imprisonment for a second or subsequent offence. Where a person is convicted of the offence, four demerit points will also be awarded under the Driver Improvement Points System.

waw...u r linked to everywhere
(a) base on this, heavy vehicle travelling on the middle lane (of a 3 lane expressway) had committed an offence. Base on MHA data, average 2 cars per day being fined.....Err...me see at least more then 10 offender daily
the problem is the wording "(a) and (b)"....if the 1st catalyst is driving at 60kph....the rest behind will satisfy (b).
Time to change the rule a bit? ..... haiz sorri to say this but most of the lorry travelling away from extreme left is foreigner who 60kph is top speed in their landTrex-450

Come to think of it, do taxi drivers take any other lesson or have to pass any test in addition to the class 3 driving test?! Hmm...

Was fed up this morning....apparently the heavy jam all the way from exit of KPE-into-PIE until PIE-Clementi Ave6 towards Jurong, as drivers purposely slowed down to look at the accident on the opposite side (PIE-Changi) where a lorry and a few vehicles knocked into each causing a massive jam all the way to Toh Guan etc.. on that side.
Immediately after PIE-Clementi Av6 stretch, traffic was smooth all the way to Jurong...
followed by another vehicle road hogging as I can see he kept tilting his head to the left passenger kissing or something with his girlfriend....wish I had a video cam mounted to post here....
anyway...drive safely....Happy New Year!

My morning jam part was along Dunearn Rd, that stretch of Independent Schools near to Newton. The double white lines there doesnt seem to exist to the drivers there.
