angelicpenny SG I recently needed to go to Cantonment Police station to make a report. I wanted to take MRT but my dad wanted to send me. He dropped me off in front of the station and went off. He got a traffic fine of $120 and 3 pts for stopping those few seconds. Now he's yelling at me over it saying "i kaypo for police and he got fined". To be honest I agree with him. I mean its the principle of it. I was helping the police in their investigations and they can't bend the rules slightly? Whats the point in helping them then? He already has 12 pts to his name and I just got my license so its under probhation. I would honestly take the pts if I had the normal 23 pts but I only got 12 pts maximum. I know I am selfish but I don't want to take it in case I hit a camera. Do you think there;s anything that can be done to waive these 3 pts? Please help me.
angelicpenny SG yeah got ... but does it actually work? is there a chance that the TP would waive the 3 pts? I mean the money is not so bad (although $120 is alot) but the 3 pts is the problem.. my dad dont wanna take it, i also dont wanna take it.
angelicpenny SG But the fine states "stopping in a no stopping zone" leh... not stopping on double zig zag yellow lines... i dunno... never received a fine before so i dont even know how its stated. In that case I dont think I would ever want to help them if they call me up again.... not worth it.
angelicpenny SG ok thanks. I'll write in and try to appeal. Hope it works. This is a waste of time. Help police and get this kind of thing in return.....
nick34 SG State your reason why your dad parked there ... wait for a few days for their reply ... best is to go thru your minister ... go to your 'Meet the Minister' session which falls mostly on Monday @ 6.30pm for most districts ... Your minister will then write to TP on your behalf ...
chong-ster SG there was once i parked my dad's car at yellow line... but didnt use coupon... came down kana liao because i thought i would only take a few mins to rush back to my home to get sth... then i decided to try my luck. cooked up story say sth urgent happened at home... had to rush up.. no choice but to park there... dan i sent it by e-mail to the town council.. few days later the chairman of the town council replied me and said he helped me to revoke the fine liao... yah lah although our story very different. but im just letting u know u can try explaining ur reasons...
angelicpenny SG Ok Thanks Nick34. I'll give that a try. He actually didn't park there. He just dropped me off then the fine came "stopping in a no stopping zone". It's abit stupid to be honest... who knows Cantonment is a no stopping zone?
angelicpenny SG Haahaha... this one abit tough lah because its at Cantonment Police station... but I am going to try to write in or else I really got to take the 3 pts coz its the police officer who called me to go there make report.
contrarian SG no stopping zones either have the no stopping sign, or more commonly nowadays, double zigzag yellow lines on the side of the road. i guess that's why we all have to take the basic theory or riding theory.
cannypie SG Good luck on your appeal! But I seriously think finding MP is the best and safest way. Cos’ govt board also need to give govt board face mah…
angelicpenny SG They sent me a postcard thing back saying "your letter is receiving attention"... so that means i temporarily no need to pay the fine by 12 May as stated initially right?
nick34 SG yes you are right ... no need to pay until further notice ... it will come soon ... stating if your appeal is successful or not
