Zanter 3rd Gear May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 Predictions= Reduced OMV, No more COE, no need to mod fuel tank to pump JB petrol cos petrol tax will be abolished and no more JB jams but pay $1 per KM. Car ownership cost will be reduced but usage will be charged according to the time of the day. No more red plates, classic cars cos everybody will pay as you drive. If accident can use GPS evidence so no need to quarrel & scratch each other cars. No more car thefts as stolen cars will be tracked. No more trips to geylang in car unless parked next to tau huey stall . What else? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detach8 5th Gear May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 (edited) They won't take away COE lah. It's making the government billions of dollars and is actually one of the most effective way of controlling car population in the WORLD. Car OWNERSHIP has to remain expensive. Simply why? We have parking problem already. And once you own a car, you will use the car. Weekends, how? So you think the government will tax you for weekend road usage, then next GE comes everybody want to vote WP and SDP again? :P Government is not stupid. This move is just to take away the existing ERP system (which is quite a failure) and possibly abolish the road tax in favour for more fuel economical cars like in Europe where they tax by the CO2 emissions instead.

Nzy Twincharged May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 Don't think that all the other taxes will be removed. Everything probably will remain the same just that now have to pay while you drive. The only thing that can probably decrease is the road tax. But I think only by a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nullifi3d 4th Gear May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 One step to close to being "Big Brother". If this was proposed in the states there'll be massive protests. But then again, SG will probably bite the bullet and suffer in silence... as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
