This is what I call HONGKANG/HONG4GAN3(ought-to-be-fucked) traffic light. (Refer to diagram below)

1)The light is green.
2)Some pedestrian is at the side. (This means the light can turn amber/red any moment because she might have pressed the button.)
3)You are NOT allowed to stop in the yellow box (and this yellow box is super fucking long. Twice the length of normal yellow boxes for bus bays.

Cool.

1)So you decide to slow down as you anticipate the light turning from green to amber/red soon. But if you were to stop BEFORE the yellow box (the red box at the bottom) while the light is STILL GREEN, you get penalized.

  • If heng, you will get 2 points. "(42)Unnecessary stopping."

  • You may even fail under penal codes
  • "(48)Remain in the junction and cause obstruction."

  • "(63)Improper action causing accident / near accident" if it so happens that there's traffic behind you.


  • 2)Okay. So you decide to chiong. You reach the position marked by the red box in the yellow box. The light turns amber. You chiong. You get penalized for chionging amber.
  • 8 points. "(61)Proceed on amber light / flickering green light".


  • 3)Maybe you decide to stop after attempting to chiong since it's amber. You may fail for stopping in yellow box.
  • (40)Fail to give way to vehicle with right of way (if there's bus in bus bay and wants to move out. hosay.

  • (46)Fail to stop at stop-line

  • (48)Remain in junction and cause obstruction

  • (??)Failure to obey traffic signals/general mistake/???????


  • 4)You decided to be a hero. You decide to chiong but your car is too slow. You see amber you still chiong. You cross traffic light when it turns red. You get immediate failure.
  • (62)Proceed on red light signal.

    Fuck sia. If not fuck then what?
    Anyway I went for option (2). Heng it's only a trial run. 8 demerit points. out of a max of 18 you can get.
    Driving safely is hard. Driving is not.

    ============================================================

    I'm not sure if I should book a test now. It seems like there's no hurry since not everyone is eligible to book for tests anyway. Only those who have cleared all lessons.
