Shame! Shame! Cheapo Honda Fit driver gets confronted for trying to tailgate out of a carpark

The driver of a yellow Honda fit attempted to evade carpark payment but ended up failing and was confronted by the driver of the white Skoda Octavia he was tailgating instead.

Here's the video  

This incident took place at the carpark of Takashimaya.   

In the video, the yellow Honda Fit tries to evade parking fees by tailgating a white Skoda Octavia. But the driver of the Octavia was having none of it and intentionally blocked the Honda Fit. Leaving it awkwardly stuck under the gantry arm. 

The Skoda driver then exits his car in agitation while walking towards the Honda Fit to confront the driver.  

Noteworthy: There is an ongoing promotion for 2 hours of free parking at Ngee Ann City, with no minimum spend.

Is it worth committing a parking offence over that few dollars?

If guilty of tailgating at an EPS exit gantry to avoid payment, the Honda Fit driver could face a $70 fine. Repeat offenders may be charged in court.

The conclusion seems to be clear-cut 🤐 

Undoubtedly, there has been an increased occurrence of payment evasion offences, with these offences being committed by tailgating the front vehicle.   

Here are some recent cases of payment evasion: 

Mitsubishi Lancer tailgating camcar out of carpark

Hyundai Avante tailgating and got confronted by camcar

Toyota Sienta tailgating camcar out of SuperBowl Jurong carpark

However, the most unusual occurrence of payment evasion belongs to this purple Volkswagen Scirocco. 

TBH, I am damn puzzled as to why the driver damaged his Scirocco to evade paying his carpark fees. The math just does not add up.

I'm more puzzled as to how the drivers in front know that there are tailgaters behind you trying to siam payment.

You mean when exiting gantry people always look at the rear mirror to see if anyone tailgating?

I noticed most are COE cars with exception to the Toyota but on closer look it is a phv. 

It is because of cost or is it because of the drivers' attitude or is it both?

Got rear radars that when vehicles from behind come too close the alarm will sound off. :D

Might be those drivers like the thrill and get the highs if they managed to drove through the carpark barrier without paying. :I

Tbh, I highly doubt any driver will get that type of thrill doing so. 😂 But if they do, I am certainly lost for words.

My view quite different. I personally wont bother if ppl tailgate me out of carpark...

i dont own the carpark, neither does the lost revenue get loaded onto me. Good for them if they saved some, and no impact on me.   

Who cares as long as they don't hit my car. 

I say onus is on carpark operator to chase back the lost revenue in a cost efficient manner. These carparks operators, whether HDB/URA or Wilson Parking or Ngee Ann Kong Si make lots of money in a near monopolistic fashion. I am not worried about them. 

Singaporeans obsessed with being 'right' and 'good boys', all very moralistic. this guy actually get out to confront... maybe wanna do citizen's arrest or what... class monitor wor

Yup, absolutely understand your perspective on this matter.

TBH, I don't think Singaporeans care if carpark operators were to incur lost revenue because like you said they are already making lots of money. So its not so much on the lost revenue aspect.

Instead, I feel that Singaporeans are unhappy with these tailgating incident because they are being "used" by these tailgaters to evade fares.

Lost revenue won't get loaded onto you? Think again.

If these lost revenue is too much, they will raise car park charges next time to cover for these evaders.

Next time you park there again, you pay more.

Same with insurance premium. If too many accidents, insurance company will raise premium for all including the good drivers.

People don't understand how the universe work.

There is Karma. Evade our monetary obligations and there will be a bigger price to pay down the road. This rule never fails.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 1

    It used to be that when a person was visiting China for the first time, the natural choice was Beijing. No better way to learn about a country than a visit to its capital, amirite? Having had their fill of Peking duck and climbed the Great Wall of China, the next places they would likely look at are those on the east coast - Shanghai, Nanjing, perhaps Harbin. In recent times though, the southwestern parts of China have gotten much coverage on social media. Chongqing, the country’s largest c

    Forget resolutions, just focus on starting fresh

    The start of a new year is always a happy time for me. Apart from gatherings and mini reunions, January is when I reflect on everything I've accomplished last year, while mentally noting the things I still need to work on. Resolutions, though, are not for me. While it's not wrong to list some and strive towards them like goals, I think making resolutions is not the optimal way for me to reach new milestones, because more often than not, they're declared 'in the moment'. Or worse, after you'

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re
