can't find on your enquiries but can provide you with these.

Guess yellow box is $70 ~ $100

 

0 Demerit Points but with fines

 

* Not displaying P-Plate for drivers on probation for the first time. ($120)

* Most parking offences (except for parking along zig-zag lines etc)

* Failure to give signal ($70)

* Tinted windows/helmet visors not meeting LTA regulations of allowing 70% light transmittance on the front and 30% an the rear.

* Illegal modifications

* Faulty lights

* Driving inside bus-lane during prohibited timings ($130)

* Emission of excessive smoke (up to $150)

* Not displaying a valid or displaying a tampered OPC coupon/license (for off-peak-cars) when driving during peak hours

 

An offender can be fined up to $10,000 for using an OPC without displaying a valid day licence. For tampering with the day licence, the penalty is a fine not exceeding $20,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 12 months or both.

About one-third of those convicted were found to have tampered with the licences - a more serious offence.

 

The punishment is a fine of up to $10,000 for the first offence. Subsequent convictions carry fines of up to $20,000, a maximum jail term of 12 months, or both.

 

They also face an additional charge of driving without a valid supplementary licence, which carries a maximum fine of $5,000 for first-time offenders.

On average, the tamperers were fined $8,000 - equivalent to almost half their tax savings. Those who drive without a supplementary licence or an invalid one face fines of up to $5,000, which can double for repeat offenders.

From my understanding if your front wheels is OUT of yellow box, not considered offence. If whole car is inside, yes offence.

 

Perhaps reason is you see a gap den you inch forward but too bad gap is not long enough but still you move cos u see a gap.

 

Well tats my understanding read from somewhere. Perhaps someone whom has experience the opposite can enlighten...
