Was this incident filmed in a bad context? 

Or was the Volkswagen driver attempting to evade parking fees?

Watch the following video here:

What Happened?

When approaching the carpark gantry to exit, the Volkswagen Golf driver stopped right before the gantry arm and alighted from his car.

He then proceeds to push the gantry arm such that it automatically lifts. Allowing him to get into his car and escape paying a sum of $5? It's a little blur but it's definitely less than $10.

Update #1 - 14/4/2022

Many netizens have pointed out that this might be a case of the gantry operator instructing the VW driver to lift it up due to a spoiled gantry. 

Well, that may be possible. 

What do you think?

Maybe? Or there might be lots of honking around the area which prompted the contributor to film the video.

Well, that's if there is enforcement actions taking against him.

Hard to tell since some car sharing platforms don't label their name on their cars.

Walao, whoever posted this can don’t anyhow before you get POFMA’d.

There’s always 2-sides of the coin. Maybe the operator on the other side of the gantry speaker told him to do it if he wasn’t able to do it? Sometimes the servos of the gantry fail. So he was told to open it as a very last resort?

Think it through. You wouldn’t like getting falsely framed or having someone you know or love also framed for being told to do something that seems illegal in the eyes of a 3rd party now would you? Just live and let live.

If he did something wrong, the gantry cameras there would capture and have his information already. If it was a platform-sharing car, the owner of the car can just report to the platform to the relevant authorities. 

Or y’all just doing it for the sake of $10?

Why people always think got car = got bottomless bank account?

It just means more debt, more taxes, more fees, more maintenance costs...poor drivers have to look for all means to save.

Because, apparently, most people nowadays live for shaming strangers on social media. Can't sleep well without it.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    My favourite racing game is back!

    THERE'S A NEW TOKYO XTREME RACER GAME ON THE WAYYYY!!!! This is the best news for fans of this rather understated and obscure racing game. Also known as Shutoko Battle in Japan, this is a series of racing games by Genki, a Japanese game company that was founded in 1990. Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is one of the most popular game in the series as it features many cars, opponents and an extensive map For those that have never heard of these games, I'll give you a quick run-down.

    The approach of the year-end holidays often also means the annual pilgrimage Singaporeans take to Japan to soothe their souls after a long year will soon kick into high season. (Just open any of your social media applications - Instagram, Facebook or TikTok - and you'll see.) For the many amongst us who can spare neither the financial expense nor the time, however, there's no reason to fret. Allow the mind some space to wander, and one will find there are many places on our sunny island tha

    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'
