Question regarding using handphone while driving

zheshi SG

If u are caught driving while using your handphone. The policeman confisisted your phone. Is there any chances that u may get back your phone after you pay the fine or after the cases is settle? or the phone will be confisisted by them and will not return to you?

What is the punishment for driving while using handphone?

Anybody encounter this cases before? Will they return you the phone after the cases is closed? The phone is quite important. It a Verta phone which was bought for $5000 bucks...

Thank in advance.

P.S i'm not the one caught, is just someone quite close to me

if Huawei phone u confirm get it back on the spot. in fact if it's Huawei, they'll let you off right there and then.

zheshi SG

Com on la. I'm asking serious la. It there any chance you will get back the phone? Stop post useless commentx.

Well. the law is the handphone is confiscated on the spot.

To claim back. you pay $200 fine on TOP of the fine imposed driving with handphone.

Which is i dunno what but i konw its 12 demerit... or is it 24 demerit now?

Ponders SG

And tell your "friend" don't think Vertu phone can drive using handphone.

It is the fact the glare of that vertu phone that caught the attention of the cops.

zheshi SG

Oh so in the end. the phone can be claim back? It does not matter what phone he is using. he always use handphone while driving. Guess this will teach him a lesson. But at least he is able to take back the phone..

ask ur fren to call the investigation officer for the case and arrange a meeting w him. ur fren got any driving reords eg speeding, beat red light before? if dun have, juz pay $200 to compound the offence and 12 points gone and u can claim back the phone.

i personally kena this case before. and i tell u, the room they keep the phone, power la, at least 4 cupboard full of phone sia. and many other things inside..

sinicker SG

wah. how many vertus inside?

I've heard from my friend which is a lawyer that now you have to attend court to hear your 'sentence' and pay the fine there then takes at least 2-3 weeks to claim back the phone from the police station ... and also it depends on your track record whether they decide to keep the phone perm (I think, and we thought. but no confirm)

On the other hand you can ask your friend to consider buying mine ...

I don't see any valid reasons for the Police to keep your handphone after you have paid your fine and gotten your demerit points...

And why are you so anxious to get your handphone back? Are you sure it is your friend's? Or is it yours? Just a normal phone but with lots of photos and videos that you dont want the police to see? Twisted Evil

woodlandsHool SG

come on .. if u r the owner of tat vertu .. i bet u will be 2 times more anxious to get the phone back ...

zheshi SG

Since already been caught for the case. No matter what u die die also have to pay the fine or attend court regarding the cases.. no matter what phone u are using. it will be a bonus that u could get back the phone correcT? rather than u pay the fine and than they still keep the phone.
