When Your SG Plate Doesn’t Show in PLUS-Speed Violation Cameras During a Breakdown | MyMechanic
Driving across PLUS highways is routine for many Singapore cars. If a plate isn’t captured during an emergency or breakdown, visibility and system focus on moving traffic may be the reason. Safety comes first—secure the scene, share accurate location details, and coordinate assistance to move out of risky spots.
Why SG plates may not show up on cameras
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.
