An interesting brush with the law

As i was driving towards a Red Light, I noticed that the lane on my right was suddenly filled by a police van from the third lane abruptly, without any signaling nor warning to forthcoming vehicles, in my mind, I was thinking that I was lucky not to be taking that lane as it was the more "popular" lane....

I took a glance to the right towards the driver and the passenger of the police van and noticed that the driver and his passengers were both very young men, I hope they are at least 21 years old. In their white polo tees, they were unmistakenly part of our law enforcing team in the country.

Does that give them the right to change lanes without signalling?? hmm.....

Then I noticed something else MORE interesting.....

The passenger in the van did NOT have his seat belt fasten!! ha ha ha...

Can you imagine law enforcers themselves breaking the law? If it was any normal citizens in any vehicle, I bet they will get a fine and both will get some demerit points taken off their driving license.... does this apply to these pple in the police van as well?

I pointed out to the driver that his passenger wasnt wearing any seat belt and the passenger took a look at himself with a guilty conscience look on his face and sheepishly put on his seat belt. Without any further gesture of thanks or apology for breaking the law, both of them continued to look away.

Even if it was any other civilian, I think the least they can do is to be thankful for having their faults pointed out. How mature are Singaporeans? Do we just shy away from our faults and hoped that no one will notice their mistakes?
