the why orgy lane
The other day I saw a limousine taxi at a neighbourhood carpark. It had the big mirrored words "GIVE WAY" on its windscreen. I wonder if I hop onto it, can I reach my gf's place faster?
If you are driving on the YOG road lane and you don't give way to it, you may get slapped a S$130 fine. Ok, fine. I don't fully appreciate this arrangement. I mean, if you are rushing for time, other road users may be too. You try asking Lewis Hamilton to give way to Fernando Alonso.
Instead of making it punitive, why not make it rewarding to give way? I know they have some lucky draw, but that's heng suay. Consider giving drivers merit points for giving way, or cancelling their previous demerit points. So if slapping fine is the way to get things done, why not fine those commuters who don't give up their seats on the MRT? Or fine those who don't give way to alighting passengers before boarding. (no, I don't support this either)
Are the athletes from other countries aware that they contribute to making this fine city more fine?

















no choice la, already won the bid, must do proper job, although I doubt many youths would go watch despite the generous school break enforced next month
