In this day and age where there are eyes in the sky, eyes on the road and eyes where you don't expect them to be, it is easy to become part of video evidence.

Just like this lady BMW driver, who was caught on video negotiating a turn unsteadily onto the Pan Island Expressway on Jan. 18, at about 7.45pm, and subsequently seen with a device in hand:

In the video, the BMW could be initially seen turning right onto the expressway while cutting close to the truck on its left.

The woman driver was then filmed with a device in hand and cognisant of being filmed, which resulted in her lowering her handheld device to be out of sight.

Previously, it was reported that there are three criteria that need to be met to constitute "handphone driving":

Number 1, your car must be in motion and you must be driving.

Number 2, you must be holding that device.

Number 3, you must be using a function of that device.

Then is it considered handphone driving.

Anyone with information possible road violations and incidents can file a report with the police at any Neighbourhood Police Centre/ Post (NPC/NPP) or online via the ‘E-FEEDBACK ON ROAD USERS’ portal.

Traffic violations can also be reported via the I-Witness portal.

Original videos of traffic violations recorded using in-vehicle cameras can also be submitted as evidence.

All information will be kept strictly confidential.
