Please turn off engine when stationary

[Jamstart]

Like that, very troublesome right? On and off the engine......Very stressful....Won't that add stress to the stepper motor and cause its early demise? Then who will pay for the replacement of the starter motor?

When young, my momo always tell me. Eat also very troublesome, got to bite and chew and swallow, not troublesome meh?

In the Environment Protection and Management Act, Chapter 94A, Section 12 (5) and 77, Environment Protection and Managment (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations, it states:

 

PART V

OFFENCES

19 Smoky motor vehicles

20 Excessive noise

21 Stationary motor vehicles

21A Duty to provide information

22 Restriction of motor vehicles on roads

23 Penalty

 

Stationary motor vehicles

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the driver of every motor vehicle shall, when the vehicle is

stationary for reasons other than traffic conditions, stop the engine of or other machinery attached

to or forming part of the vehicle.

(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall apply to the examination or working of the machinery attached

to or forming part of a motor vehicle where any such examination or working is rendered necessary

by any failure or derangement of the machinery or where the machinery is required to be worked

for some ancillary purpose.

(3) Any person who fails to comply with paragraph (1) shall be guilty of an offence.

 

Penalty

23. Any person who is guilty of an offence under any provision of these Regulations shall be liable

on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction,

to a fine not exceeding $5,000.

 

Clearly, it is an offence not to turn off the engine when your vehicle is stationary, for example, you run off to buy 4D while your wife or children wait in the car with the engine on. Another example you see all the time is at the school gates, parents waiting for their child to finish school, sat in their cars with engine on.

 

Prehaps this law is obscure which is why we even see motorist leaving the engine on while refuelling at the petrol station. Maybe NEA should start a campaign to educate motorist about this.

 

They won't reinforce this law la.

 

Do you know how many babies were made inside cars at some isolated car parks?

 

If they reinforce this law, straight away the birth rate will drop like hell.

 

[Jamstart]

True, for this case, many babies are made but not many were born.

[Stary]

True, for this case, many babies are made but not many were born.

 

Doesn't matter....at least get them made first, then only got chance to add to the population.

 

if 10 babies were made in car parks and only 2 get born, that's still better than nothing.

it is worse coz most babies made in car is out of wed lock..more headaches to social problems which leads to single unmarried mother..those who are married why on earth do they want to do it in the car....do it at home is better, can try diffrent position...

[Quirky_ster]

practicing makes perfect.... especially in tight spaces...

[Route88]

How shall they enforce it, how about diesel generators?

[Ev0lutionz]

Diesel engines give off less CO i think. But they give more black soot out.

Don't see why you can't tell the difference.

 

Dont see why at the traffic, while you are stopping, differs from stationary, so while you are waiting at the traffic, remember to off it.
