SINGAPORE: MORE off-peak car (OPC) owners are caught driving without an electronic licence during peak hours since the revised electronic licence scheme was introduced. About 150 offenders were caught in January, higher than last year's average of about 100 offenders a month. There were a total of 1199 offenders last year. A Land Transport Authority (LTA) spokesperson said enforcement efforts have been intensified against errant OPC owners who use the OPC during restricted hours without a valid licence. This comes even though OPC owners can buy the e-licence after they use their OPC, up to 11.59pm the next day after the car was used. Action has also been taken against owners who do not enter the usage date for the OPC's prepaid undated licence. As of Jan 31, about 150 offenders were caught using their OPCs during peak hours without a valid licence. OPC owners need to buy a valid e-licence before 11.59pm the next day after their OPCs were used. The revised OPC scheme has seen a steady uptake since its launch on Jan 25. More than 21,000 motorists have converted to the new scheme. Out of this number, 473 were normal cars that converted to the off-peak scheme and 666 were new cars registered under the scheme. This figure accounts for about 45 per cent of OPC users based on the current total OPC population of 47,986. Source

Car owners try to cheat on petty things like : 1. Parking coupons (not displaying any or tearing off the labels at a later time) 2. Parking illegally to avoid paying parking charges 3. Waiting before the ERP gantry to avoid paying ERP charges (and obstructing traffic) And ironically, these same owners can spend tonnes of money on modeifications, bigger sports rims wider tyres and ICE etc. ... worse still, spending money on unproven snake oil devices claiming to improve fuel economy. Why all the hassle and misery? Might as well not own a car. Better off to be chauffeured around in a taxi.
