Indeed, roundabout rules apply in Pandan Circle !

I want to thank TR Emeritus and The Real Singapore for publishing my story.

Thank you to all readers, your feedback and in particular those who were able to understand my point.

I did approach the relevant authorities when NTUC Income found me 100% liable.

I wrote to LTA and was referred to TP.

Then I went  TP to make a report and submitted the video, knowing that I won't be 100% correct or 100% at fault.

Their investigation took two months to complete and I received their reply in two sentences :-
"Our investigation has not produced any substantive result.  However, this does not preclude further prosecution should new evidence emerge later"

I still did not get a firm answer and wondered how NTUC Income made their assessment since TP could not find substantive result.

I wrote to LTA again and subsequently got an answer that it was advisable for vehicles turning right to keep to the right lane and that some motorists may be unfamiliar with the surrounding. And  they were also working on enhancing the lane and arrow markings to improve the lane indications at this location.

When I informed NTUC Income about this, they said this case was already closed.

Recently these enhanced lanes and arrows marking have been completed. I test drove into the roundabout from all the four entrances and confirmed the the left-lane vehicles have only two exit options( 1st-exit; left OR 2nd -exit; straight) from any point of entry.

It is exactly the same concept as the illustrated diagram in the highway code manual !

(Message to NTUC Income:- Please sent to your staff there to understand the true concept of a roundabout rules)
