KENA SAMAN FOR PARKING IN WRONG DIRECTION

[Summer69]

Let those who never before park in the wrong direction, please cast the first stone.

 

on narrow roads, with limited parking space, late for appointment, cars breathing you from front & behind, or a bunch of hungry relatives, colleagues, family passengers, it is common to see cars parallel park in opp direction.

 

Guess these parking warden should show more discretion, like every Friday.

I bet these ppl's balls shrink upon seeing the TP's presence. The only words they will be saying are "Yes Sir" to the officer and non of the keyboard warrior's "KNNBCCB", "CCB", Fxxk" or "Bullsheet".

 

i also wonder Y? when cisco or normal certis warden....they very garang argue back like champion...

 

but when with TP officer....their balls shrink!!

 

i wonder wonder Y?

[Mrmilktooth]

i ve heard from friend that parking in wrong facing direction is wrong & will kena... even if its free to park along small roads.. dont ask me why..

I never saw excuses like this till I reached Singapore.

 

Late for appt means allowed to speed ma?

 

Relatives hungry can run red light meh?

 

Dun think so right. What makes you think that "hungry relatives" is a valid excuse for doing something illegal.,

 

Not to say I wouldn't do it - just that it's no sort of excuse to use to appeal.

[Injenue]

i always do a 3 point turn to park in the correct direction for parallel parking

LOL. Hungry relatives. Hopefully not from the lunar 7th month. Even for that "they" will only breathe down your neck when you are sleeping, not when you are driving.

 

Next thing they will give excuses like dying pet or dying father.

[Wolfy3769]

ppl just like to justify their action... even though their action is wrong in the first place.

[Park88]

nobody said that you cannot appeal

but always ask yourself

is it worth appealling when you know you have broke the law

the warden would not anyhow give out summon

so when you calculate the time wasted writing the appeal

taking time off to go to the office to appeal

perhaps even letters sent with stamps

so is it worthwhile in the end

in the end may end up with spending more money and time instead

 

[Flykite]

LMAO If I didn't know better I would say you're flame baiting

 

Take it easy, the dude is just doing his job.

 

Question though, did you not know about this rule? If you did, Maude road has a broken white line seperator right? Why din't you just do a three point turn at the lot then park?

 

 

maude road did not have a broken white line separator

besides, it would have been dangerous to do an ILLEGAL 3-pt turn to park properly

 

after i left, i witness a lorry bang into a van along that junction. so much for "following the rules" blindly.

 

uniquely singapore.

 

 

tks to the bros who replied, less those flamers: its not about the $50. its about the safety and objective of the legislation.

[Theoldjaffa]

along maude road

 

$50 FINE, KNNBCCB

 

i dont understand, is he hard up to meet his quota?

im parked nicely in the lot, displayed my coupons, and im not causing any obstruction.

 

WHY THE FCUKER MUST SAMAN ME FOR THAT?

 

just a stone throw away, along king george road, many car parking illegally causing obstruction, cause other vehicle to drive in opposite direction, why he dont go saman them but come disturb us park nicely in the lot? why the chao chee bye is so chao chee bye??

 

I not the only one kena, many others too.

anyone appeal before? success?

 

 

those who want to tell me "just follow the rules", "shut up and pay up", dont even post here and waste bandwidth.

 

a wrong is a wrong. your post already wasted lots of bandwidth. you should go as what your nick describes.

 

 

[Aaron_soh80]

How much is the fine if nvr put coupons too ?

wah, like that you cannot accept, but we can accept "toilet break", "once in 50 years", "affordable"....GEEJUZ!

 

if all the relatives/ chiobu/ colleagues on board laughing at your driving skill/ EGO, and all the cars in front & behind honking/ staring at you on whether to take that particular lot, stress boh?

 

 

that's is the very reason why so many park double yellow lines every where in S'pore, instead of a car park far far away, to save passengers from walking too far, want face, a Hero, got money to pay summon, not chicken.

 

a lot of time drivers do "illegal" maneuvers/ stunt when under pressure or stress.

 

anyway, SAF rule#7 apply.

Maude Rd..around Jln Besar area very popular for enforcement to come to look for errant parking..my colleagues and I went to lunch at the turtle soup stall at Berseh food centre..he parked against the traffic with a coupon..I park normally with coupon..when we both went back..he kena a ticket already even he displayed the correct coupon for the offence parking in wrong direction..so for those who parks ard the area..take heed

 

on another unrelated incident at Beach Rd prawn mee at East Coast rd today in the morning..I park properly with correct coupon display..LTA enforcement officer on a bike came and take photos of errant motorists and some vehicles parked on double-yellow lines..the officer did not record but instead take quick photos of the vehicles..all kena

This law was never strictly enforced b4. I wonder why now ty start?

 

But it does make it dangerous when u enter/exit the lot as yr car is facing the wrong direction.

 

Maybe he fighting hard to get his max bonous from gharmen.

if your concern was really safety, you wouldnt have spared the effort to go to a place further down to do a U-turn.

 

if you dun noe that this is an offence, you shouldn't be holding a driving license (suggest you re-take your basic/advance theory).

 

If you have not broken the rules, you wouldn't have been issued with the summon (no pt cursing the fatimah since they are just merely doing their job. you broke the rules, be prepared to pay).

 

If you do not have any intention to appeal (l seriously think low chance), you should pay up and stop ranting here and trying to self-justify your misfortune. BTW, it is never luck - cos the act was committed consciously. People usually blame everyone/everything else except themselves.

 

[Junjie]

gte a life, pay and move on...........

[Sabe]

No money to play then follow the rules. Don't kanna summon already then come here complain.

 

What question the safety of the legislation? You are the one who is a danger to both yourself and others by entering the lot from the wrong direction.

Unless its changed in the last few weeks, I'm pretty sure its broken white lines for all of Maude Rd (bar the few meters near the three junctions). If it was broken then it is not illegal to do the 3 point turn. If not then no choice lor, you gotta go somewhere else.

 

Have to admit though, parking in that area is terrible. I usually just park at the stadium's basement carpark and walk.

 

P.S. Just because you can do a three point turn doesnt mean you can do it unsafely.
