Failing to signal your intentions or check traffic conditions before manoeuvring constitutes dangerous driving, and as such is an offence.

I disagree. It's not corrupt behaviour by my definition and I believe my definition to be reasonable.
If it is corrupt behaviour then you should report the next constable who fails to arrest you for jaywalking to the ICAC.
When they have stopped laughing at you, let us know how the case goes.
For what it's worth, the ICAC states that "Corruption occurs when an individual abuses his authority for personal gain at the expense of other people."
That seems like a reasonable definition to me.

I see that a lot in China, even our co driver up there has done that a few times. Saw a few times drivers in the middle of the freeway stop and look at the signboard before either continuing on to the next exit or change lanes and get out that exit. The drivers in Shenzhen are really much more crazier than HK, People should be grateful that the borders arent open or this place will become really bad.
yeah, in china, there is absolutely no rules, you can use the fast lane whilst driving slowly, driving on the lines, change lane without indicating,etc... i would be surprised if someone driving backwards in reverse gear on the mainland motorways, apparently, according to some sources, in the phillipines and in india, its even worse
I've lived (and driven) in Malaysia, and there is no doubt that the driving there is 100% worse than here. But that's not really the point - HK 'should' be more civilised than a developing country (be it China, India, Philippines or Malaysia!)
I tend to agree with PDLM - failing to enforce the law due to laziness is not corruption, it's just laziness. One wonders why. In some countries, coppers have incentives to catch drivers (the cynical say that it's a revenue raising exercise!) and there is no doubt they are more diligent about enforcing traffic laws. Which is right - dangerous driving is exactly that, dangerous, and should be enforced.
Where can you drive up to in Lantau island WITHOUT a permit?
Ah yes - i can see that in google streetview now. Thanks
