this rule by shell is total bull
lemme tell u why, u cannot compare the incidents of some other
countries as sg, it may happen overseas, however, given the
humidlity of singapore, such cases wont cause static spark to
happen
and the rule is crap because wen the bike is slanted to one side,
the petrol simply wont be filled to the brim
wads more, it has been feedbacked in bike forums that their
attendants are bery rude like "demanding" the bikers to alight, i
am a paying customer, i gave a few of them a dressing down b4, i
know they have a job to do, but then they can tell me in a nice
way
if u wan to argue over static spark happening, ok fine, then
implement the rules to make car passengers to alight as well, a
bike mostly will ignite 20-30 litres of petrol
but cars can ignite 40-70 litres, unless u filling up a combat
tank, den fine
i kan their manager and hotline staff wif this, they cannot ans
me
u know why they dont do it ? my opinion is they dun dare to
jeopardise the "higher paying" customer, but they den they have
left out pple who ride and drive,
many pple nowdays have this stereotyping mindset, bikers are poor
folks or wad, but they are wrong, there pple who have cars but they
ride for the passion.
there are pple who follow blindly, but not me, unless they can show
me REAL situations that it is a hazard, i take it as it came off a
despo brainstorm table
this maybe a small issue to some pple here, but this has cause some
uproar among bikers, because it shows some unfairness, some biking
groups has even meet up wif the managers but it seems to fall on
deaf ears, this boycott thing has amount to quite a big list of
bikers in another forum
until now, bike or car, mobil gets my dough
