Islandwide Removal of Demerit Points For Bus Lane Offences
Posted on Thursday, September 29, 2005 - 12:00 AM
Presently, under the Driver Improvement Points System, driving in bus lanes carries a penalty of $130 and four demerit points. With effect from 1 Oct 2005 , motorists who travel along or leave their vehicles in bus lanes islandwide during restricted hours will no longer be given four demerit points. The $130 penalty will however still apply.
2. This adjustment is part of Traffic Police's ongoing review of the penalties for traffic offences.
3. Motorists are reminded to keep clear of bus lanes during restricted hours. The Land Transport Authority and Traffic Police will not hesitate to take action against errant motorists who flout bus-lane restrictions, or who drive in a dangerous or reckless manner. We urge all motorists to be civic-minded and responsible.
4. Show consideration - allow buses to ply their routes smoothly and efficiently.
