Why I think that the government here is sly.

Today, I was out with my dad and his colleague. She has a car, so my dad drove today. We were leaving Causeway Bay, and went into this lane to go towards Tyson she tusk. Only a little after you turn into the lane does it show in words on the road surface that it's a bus lane. How misleading. We looked up, and there was this cop in his orange and yellow fluorescent vest, furiously scribbling our number plate down. It was obvious that he was camping on the bridge overlooking that spot common for mistakes.

That cost my dad H'S$480, which is a little over a hundred bucks in Singapore. Like how premeditated that was. Knowing how misleading the roads in honking island can be, they decided, why waste money changing the signs? Why not make multitudes of $480 from it? We can even take on a merciful image by deciding not to deduct any points. Good image, better money. Why not? Everyone has lots of $480 to spare.
