1st july https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/parking-ura-hdb-car-park-higher-fines-illegal-11654998 Higher fines for parking offences from July: HDB, URA image: data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw== (Photo: Nisha Karyn) 24 Jun 2019 11:21AM (Updated: 24 Jun 2019 11:44AM) Share this content Bookmark SINGAPORE: Motorists who do not abide by parking rules will face higher fines from July, said the Housing & Development Board (HDB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). In a joint press release on Monday (Jun 24), HDB and URA said the move would ensure that “parking fines remain an effective deterrent”. “The fine revision will only affect errant motorists, and will not impact those who abide by parking rules,” they added. ADVERTISING Fines for parking offences were last reviewed in 1991. ILLEGAL PARKING OFFENCES For parking their vehicles illegally, motorists will soon face higher fines of S$35, S$70 and S$100 respectively for motorcycles, cars and heavy vehicles. Advertisement Currently, the fines are S$25, S$50 and S$80. “From 2016 to 2018, an average of about 260,800 notices were issued each year for illegal parking,” said HDB and URA. Such cases included instances where motorists parked their cars in motorcycle or heavy vehicle parking lots, as well as non-season ticket holders who had parked their vehicles at season parking lots. COUPON, DIGITAL PARKING OFFENCES Fines for coupon and digital parking offences will also be raised, said HDB and URA. Currently, drivers of cars and heavy vehicles who park without a valid parking coupon or do not activate a digital parking session would face a S$30 and S$40 fine respectively. From July, the fines will be increased to S$40 and S$50 respectively. There will be no change in the fine quantum for motorcyclists, who currently face a fine of S$8 for such offences. Those who exceed their paid parking sessions will also face stiffer penalties. The current fines for over-parking range from S$6 to $20 for cars, and S$12 to S$40 for heavy vehicles. This will be increased to a range of S$8 to S$24 for cars, and S$16 to S$48 for heavy vehicles. There will be similarly no change in the fine quantum for motorcyclists, who currently face a fine of S$4 for such offences. HDB and URA said that from 2016 to 2018, an average of about 573,000 notices were issued each year to motorists who either did not pay the parking charges or had paid an insufficient amount at coupon parking car parks. “For car parks where the Electronic Parking System (EPS) has not been implemented, motorists can either use parking coupons, the Parking.sg app or the OneService App to pay their parking charges," said the authorities in the press release. PAYMENT EVASION OFFENCES AT EPS CAR PARKS Those who evade payment of parking charges by tailgating other vehicles or bypassing car park gantries at EPS car parks will also face higher fines. Currently, motorcycles, cars and heavy vehicles face a fine of S$25, S$50 and S$80 respectively for such offences. “To further deter errant motorists, the fines will be increased to S$35, S$70 and S$100 for motorcycles, cars and heavy vehicles respectively.” About 4,400 notices have been issued by HDB and URA annually to motorists for evasion of parking charges.

Didn't know that cyclists below 16 year old are not allowed to ride motorised bicycle. Effective 1 Jan 2011, penalties include court action for some offenses which are currently not an offense. Max speed limit with power assistance - 25kmph. Above 25kmph, use your kaki power Please share this information to your friends and families who possess or intend to possess a motorised bicycle. Heavier Penalties for Motorised Bicycle Offences 1 From 1 January 2011, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will impose heavier penalties on cyclists and retailers of motorised bicycles that do not meet LTA's technical requirements. Most of the fines will be doubled for errant cyclists and suppliers. Cyclists will face a fine ranging from $100 to $500, up from the current fines of $50 to $200. Retailers will face more severe penalties, with fines starting from $500. (Please refer to the Annex A for the full list of enhanced penalties for various offences.) 2 LTA will roll out a public education programme to educate suppliers and cyclists on safety requirements of motorised bicycles and on how to identify approved models. Posters and brochures will be distributed to community centres, foreign worker dormitories as well as motorised bicycle retailers (Please refer to Annex B for the safety requirements and Annex C for examples of a motorised bicycle that meets LTA's technical requirements versus an illegal model.) 4 Mr Colin Lim, LTA's Group Director for Vehicle and Transit Licensing said, "For the safety of cyclists and other road users, only low-powered models of motorised bicycles which are approved by LTA and affixed with an LTA seal, are allowed on public roads. With the increase in offences relating to illegal motorised bicycles over the last two years, we see a need to enhance both public education and the penalty framework to stress the importance of safety related to the use of motorised bicycles." 5 Members of the public can visit www.onemotoring.com.sg or call LTA at 1800 CALL LTA (1800 2255 582) to obtain information on the requirements before purchasing and using a motorised bicycle.

I read from the websites that parking offences seem to be under the purview of HDB and URA. So how does the traffic police fit into the picture? Apologies if this question is too stupid... -
http://transport.asiaone.com/news/general/story/7000-fine-not-excessive-14-parking-offences-judge Foo Jie Ying | The New Paper | Friday, Jun 26, 2015 A man who was found guilty of 14 parking offences is trying to appeal against his sentence of a $7,000 fine. Gabriel Ravi Janageran pleaded guilty to 14 offences under the Parking Places Act between 2011 and 2014. This includes 11 counts of parking in a place other than a parking lot, one count of parking in a season parking place, one count of obstructive parking and one count of parking with expired coupons. Earlier this month, he was fined $7,000. In mitigation, he said he has four children and is the sole breadwinner, working two jobs to sustain the family. He pleaded for leniency and a light fine. But District Judge Sarah Tan Yin Tze said in her judgment that the accused's financial circumstances did not have any "significant bearing as a mitigating factor". AT COURT'S DISCRETION "It is settled law that financial difficulties is a legitimate mitigating factor only in very exceptional or extreme circumstances and the weight attributed to it was at the court's discretion," she said. She pointed out that Gabriel had been granted four adjournments - three times in the Night Court, which deals with summonses and notices issued by government departments as well as road traffic offences, and once in the State Court, after the case was transferred from the Night Court. "...The accused had been granted numerous adjournments, at his request or otherwise... to allow him, inter alia, the opportunity to raise funds for the court fines," she said. Adding that each conviction for a first-time offence would warrant a fine of between $600 and $800 and a default sentence of two to four days, Judge Tan said Gabriel's sentence is "not unreasonable or excessive". "Taking a step back for a holistic perspective, (a) total fine of S$7,000.00 for the 14 charges is also not crushing. "I was of the view that a default term of one day's imprisonment per charge is appropriate, amounting to an aggregate default term of 14 days' imprisonment," she said. The accused is now out on bail pending appeal. What do you make of it? Really no time or really boh chap. So miserable to have the car. Can't pay for the fines, how to pay to keep the car running? -
I am so sorry. I am new to this forum and I can only create a new thread here. I am looking for the owner of this car. This driver is misusing my address and his traffic violations letters are being sent to my address. Even letters from his bank, his debtor's lawyers were sent to my house. If you know where this car is frequently parked, please drop me a message. I need to inform the police. If you could provide the make and model of this car, it would also help. Thank you!!!

Traffic offences by heavy-vehicle drivers up 16%
Darthrevan posted a topic in General Car Discussion
More heavy-vehicle drivers seem to be getting reckless on Singapore's roads. Latest Traffic Police statistics revealed to The Straits Times show that the number of traffic violations committed by them has risen by 15.6 per cent in the past three years, from 10,882 in 2010 to 12,583 last year. Common offences include failing to wear seat belts, speeding and failing to drive on the leftmost lane of the expressway, a spokesman said. Accidents involving heavy vehicles accounted for about 9 per cent of the total number of accidents in the past three years. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...ers-16-20130717 -
A total of 71 offences were recorded in a joint enforcement blitz in the northern part of Singapore on Wednesday to crack down on errant vehicle-related issues like excessive smoke and noise emission, illegal modifications, and speeding. Visible smoke emission garnered the highest number of offences: 46 diesel vehicles were caught and fined up to $500 for smoke levels exceeding 50 Hartridge smoke units (HSU). The three-and-a-half-hour-long blitz, which began at 3 pm, was conducted by the National Environment Agency (NEA), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), and the Traffic Police. Some 40 officers from the three agencies operated out of a heavy vehicle carpark at Marsiling Crescent, where stations to test for smoke emission levels and noise levels had been set up.

With more motorists installing surveillance cameras in their vehicles, some have taken to playing traffic vigilantes when they capture footage of others breaking the rules. "It's like a neighbourhood watch group, except it's on the road," said Mr Jonathan Thong, 45, who has submitted 12 such videos to the Traffic Police in the past year. The project manager and father of two believes he is helping to promote road safety. If errant drivers know their behaviour might be recorded and reported to the authorities, they may be encouraged to be more courteous on the road, he said. The videos he sent to the Traffic Police were taken on different occasions and included incidents of motorists who made illegal turns, crossed double white lines and stopped in yellow boxes.

The number of off-peak car (OPC) offences soared to a new high last year even as the population of red-plate cars continues to dwindle. According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), there were about 23,160 offences last year, nearly twice the number in 2011 and about 19 times more than in 2009. An LTA spokesman attributed the spike to a more effective enforcement regime under the e-Day licence system, introduced in November 2009. Previously, OPC owners had to buy a paper permit and display it on the car's windscreen before driving.

A hit-and-run motorist was charged in a district court on Monday with causing the death of a pillion rider while driving rashly and under a driving ban. Ho Chee Wei, 27, faces a total of 12 charges including five for possession of drugs and utensils. He allegedly caused the death of pillion rider Chong Ying Ying, 23, by committing a rash act along Pan-Island Expressway on April 19 last year by speeding at 100 to 120kmh and failing to keep a proper lookout for motorcyclist Darren Loh Chen Sing, also 23. He is accused of causing grievous hurt to Mr Loh who was flung off the motorbike together with Ms Chong when the car crashed into their motorbike.

Lasik eye surgeon charged with cheating healthcare provider By Alvina Soh | Posted: 25 November 2011 1448 hrs SINGAPORE: An eye surgeon was charged on Friday with cheating a healthcare provider of more than S$474,000. Fifty-one-year-old Marc Tay Tze-Hsin allegedly cheated integrated healthcare provider, Pacific Healthcare Specialist Services (PBSS), on 11 occasions between December 2005 and December 2006. He is said to have dishonestly concealed the fact that he had been paid between S$2,520 and S$83,000 for each surgery he performed at The Lasik Surgery Clinic on behalf of PBSS knowing the amount belonged to PBSS. He will be back in court again on January 6 next year. It boils down to the fact that even doctors are human. and which human doesn't have needs, wants and desires. if they dun have, they are not human. Saving lives, yes, otherwise why would they want to become doctors? but basic human characteristics do not change.

Repost due to Outage SINGAPORE : From June 7, drivers can go online to find out how many traffic demerit points they have chalked up or if they have any outstanding traffic summons. The new online service, the Electronic Driver Data Information and Enquiry System, also allows applicants to find out the status on new driving licences. An Identity Card number, vehicle number and driver's licence serial number are needed for verification. For foreign vehicles, access to the site can be done by using a vehicle number. Once logged on, the website will provide a summary of traffic offences that have been paid up. The website includes information about non-demerit offences as well - like parking summons. Drivers can log on to www.ecitizen.gov.sg or http://www.spf.gov.sg/epc/index.html to access the information -

So now, you will have 3 demerit points and this will last for one Year. If during this one year you have no demerit point offences at all, your 3 demerit points will be gone on 1/1/2010. But, if during this one year, from 1/1/2009 to 1/1/2010, you commit another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2011.
