When Your SG Plate Doesn’t Show in PLUS-Speed Violation Cameras During a Breakdown MyMechanic

• Obstruction during breakdown: Cones, tow positioning, or vehicle angle can block a clear plate view.
• Foreign plate recognition limits: Some systems prioritise local formats; dirty or obscured plates reduce legibility.
• Lighting and weather: Heavy rain, fog, or night conditions reduce capture reliability.
• Emergency lane stops: Speed cameras typically track moving lanes, not stationary emergency-lane incidents.

What this means for SG drivers

• Missed speed capture is common in breakdown scenarios; the priority remains safety, not fines.
• Authorities may still rely on manual reporting by patrols for incident management.
• Focus on hazards, triangles when safe, and clear location details for quicker help.

• Immediate coordination for towing and on‑site basics to move out of camera blind spots.
• Battery, tyre, and quick triage to stabilise the vehicle before onward travel.
• Calm, 24/7 guidance across PLUS corridors to keep traffic flowing and occupants safe.
