It finally happened today and the place is at Lornie road....... Due to my carelessness, I lost control of my car while driving, mount kerb, side scrape the tree. Side fender damaged. Rims gone, under carriage damaged...... Aww.... sucks..... Worst of the Worst...... Someone actually called the ambulance and police...... WTF.... Ambulance came and ask me if I am OK. I was so embarrassed. Then TP came.... OMG..... Then ask me to report my own insurance etc and left. At least tree is ok, just some minor scratches on the bark, the bark still remain on the trunk, nothing damaged. Don't need to pay for the tree. Wonder if anyone from MCF saw the accident... [:(]

This was reported in the TNO on Sunday, 6/29/2008 He Returns To Find Cops Waiting By Car Summary : Driver return to car 3 hours later to find the police were waiting for him at the kiosk. Reason was parking within the kiosk for a prolonged period without any valid reason. In the end no action was taken against the driver except adviced to refrain from parking there again. Driver's reason : Its not the first time he has done so. He claimed to have been a regular customer at Esso and also claimed to have know most of the pump attendants. On that day, the driver at around 6pm had filled up the tank at the station. He then parked the car and walked over to the nearby HDB visiting his mother-in-law. The driver stated to the newspaper that he had parked without causing any obstruction. That means he came back at about 9pm. The driver claimed that he found it hard to get a parking space at the block. Driver's reaction : Reactively he was embarassed. He claimed that he was not told or forewarned not to park within the station for a unreasonably long time. Kiosk Manager's reason : For security and safety guidelines and for business reason at the station. The manager claimed to have previously informed the driver but unfortunately went unheeded. Kiosk reaction : Could have wheelclamped but resisted instead called police for help. Lesson learnt? I doubt. The offending driver gotten off scot-free. Public monies wasted when police responsed and no action taken against driver when it is clear who is at fault.
