They are probably not alone in this.
I've seen NPP cars parked at double yellow lines in residential estates and left unattended.
Then again, so long as they aren't obstructing traffic, i've got no complaints. I suppose they have the 'right' to flout the law in the process of justice.

but usually the driver is still intact, rite?

it shouldn't be that way. they cannot break the very same law that they are supposed to uphold. nobody should be above the law, especially the police. in the process of justice...ok, but most of the time, i doubt it...Originally posted by BillyBong:...they have the 'right' to flout the law in the process of justice. -
It's like telling the traffic police: hey! you can't exceed the speed limit to catch a drunk who is already way above the speed limit!Originally posted by OneDoubleManTayar:it shouldn't be that way. they cannot break the very same law that they are supposed to uphold. nobody should be above the law, especially the police. in the process of justice...ok, but most of the time, i doubt it...

Like to share an incident that happened to me very recently. In fact so recent that I've yet received my mailed in summon!
I was at Guthrie House at Sixth Avenue to pick up a Jap client of mine. The carpark was full and the security guard didn't allow any cars to go in. The problem is that I told that Jap guy to wait in the basement due to his big luggage. Didn't want a big client to drag such a big luggage everywhere. I tried stopping at the driveway but there was another guard there telling me to move off.
I had no choice, that jap guy did not have a cell phone here, but to park on the single zig zag line. I switched on my hazard lights and ran to the lift lobby to catch the life to the basement carpark to help my client bring his luggage up.
KNS, just when I came out of the building, I saw a cisco guard about to enter my car licence into his handheld. I shouted at him that I am coming, but he ignored and continue to do his stuff. Guess what, I went up to him and started to explain why I had to park there, he didn't even looked at me, just continue punching in. KNNBCCB, what kinda of attitude is that!?
My Jap client was as bewildered as me. He asked me whether this behaviour of traffic wardens is common. There was another RX300 in front of me, that poor lady was actually helping her old mom push the Cold Storage trolley out to the car, she too was explaining to the other traffic warden, and got the same expressionless response.
All in all, the time taken by me from coming out of my car and coming back was barely 5 mins!! I think these wardens are way too overzealous, especially when we had practically no choice but to park our cars there for a while! -
If this is your first time, there should not be a problem.
Just put in an appeal and explain the situation. I think you'll find the authorities quite flexible in such a situation. However, if you repeat the same excuse, forget abt your chances.
Just keep in mind that technically, the CISCO warden has done nothing wrong and has every right to book you, seeing as it IS a yellow zig-zag. Should you experience the same situation in US, arguing with the warden will result in a heavier penalty. -
i was agreeing with u when u said that `in the process of justice, cops are allowed to break the law'.Originally posted by BillyBong:It's like telling the traffic police: hey! you can't exceed the speed limit to catch a drunk who is already way above the speed limit!
Duh!
double duh!! -
Actually I once heard from a fren in SPF, that it is agst the law for a police car to park on double yellow lines without valid reasons. Meaning, they actually need to switch on their "disco" lights and are attending to an emergency.Originally posted by BillyBong:They are probably not alone in this.

while it would be nice for the person to give you a chance, its not wrong for him to penalise you, the rule was that no stoping at all if i am not wrong, and there is a reason for it imagine every minute theres one person who stops for 5 mins to help a client in a very narrow road( i assume that thats the reason for the lines).Originally posted by ndsef:Like to share an incident that happened to me very recently.

Read my post again... I didn't say he was wrong to give me a ticket. I am referring more to his attitude. Why is there a need to totally ignore a person when he is talking to you? That is so rude, and in fact in actually makes a person more angry...Originally posted by hisoka:while it would be nice for the person to give you a chance, its not wrong for him to penalise you, the rule was that no stoping at all if i am not wrong, and there is a reason for it imagine every minute theres one person who stops for 5 mins to help a client in a very narrow road( i assume that thats the reason for the lines). -
nowadays, all the blood suckers are very desperate for $$. heard they have a commission earned per summon, and (maybe) need a daily minimum of summon issued etc.
once i see a police van, with the back door open, to film ppl speeding. (those speed traps) they parked the dumb van in a small lot, but half the vehicle is onto the left lane, and the place it parked is like a blind corner.. call this road safety? -

To some extent, i believe our govt is overellaborate in its attempts to catch speedsters. With 'covert' methods to film and summon errant drivers, it seems the virtue to prevent accidents has now warped into a business-style attempt in a money-spinning venture. One wonders if this is truly an ethical means of prevention.
Firstly, is the main cause of accidents on the road speeding? Can the traffic police justify this? Not just with statistical figures but with in-depth case studies on specific cases?
Have they considered the design of the roads at accident-prone hotspots or are they merely too eager to shift the blame to drivers?
Is raising the age limit for drivers the best alternative? What other preventative measures can be brought in?
It seems that the role of the traffic police is very simple: Balance the equation of accidents vs summons. Simply put, if the rate of accidents goes up, introduce more measures to catch recalcitrants and offenders (money-spinning if possible) to bring it down.
Are there thorough studies conducted to properly examine the accidents on a case-by-case basis? If so, what are the findings? Why is it that our TP are all too eager to 'test' out their new 'state-of-the-art' gadgets?
Is that the right kind of investment we should be looking at? -
lets not foget also, that the TP was also slammed for their sneaky attitude in speed trapping a few months back.. and yeah.. the situation is getting rampant.. like as if everyone on the roads are an enemy
and talking bout driving, motorists, instead of concentrating on road conditions and pedestrians, have to look out on road kerbs for TP who is so eager to try out his new speed camera, or parking on the roadside.
-
Valid point. I find myself peering upwards at overhead bridges or rest points under viaducts to check out for 'hidden' TP speed traps.Originally posted by 105090:and talking bout driving, motorists, instead of concentrating on road conditions and pedestrians, have to look out on road kerbs for TP who is so eager to try out his new speed camera, or parking on the roadside.
Wonder what happens if an accident is caused as a result of that. -
The TP always tell people not to speed but so often we see TP speeding w/o a good reason.
-
I just want to say that "TP could be your life saviour" though not many see it this way. Full-stop.
-
Another thing worth mentioning is I think certain place in town should allowed people to park for free instead of Zig zag line....
-
To be fair to the traffic police, they have (in most places) determined whether a double-yellow, zig-zag or double zig-zag is prudent on the road.Originally posted by tarutaru:Another thing worth mentioning is I think certain place in town should allowed people to park for free instead of Zig zag line....
Places like the 3-lane road surrounding borders in Orchard Rd deserves the double zig-zag because any errant motorist who blatantly disregards and parks their vehicle there will cause a ridiculous jam. Numerous times, i see drivers who wait there on hazard lights.
These are people who SHOULD BE BOOKED AND FINED big time as they are INDEED potential trouble-makers. Either they will cause a JAM or an ACCIDENT.
Cars that park illegally at bus bays and do not move off even after a bus pulls in should also be FINED HEAVILY.
These are some things that TP are doing right but may need to focus more since motorists don't take the hint. -
Nowadays SOOOO MANY FUCKING TRAFFIC WARDENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COME!!!!!!????????????????????
I NEVER BUY COUPONS FOR MY 360. SO JUST ANYHOW PARK ON THE ROAD SIDE.ONE DAY KENA 3 $70 dollars ticket...wahahahaha...

Who to blame? Blame HDB and URA for their good idea of outsourcing... Now change PM, PM wife somemore in place... -
Today, I was parking illegally at a residental area at Orchard. Reason being is that the loading bay of the particular building I am going is full. My purpose of going to the building is to collect foodstuff which are meant for charity. I placed a sign at the windscreen stating that I will be back in 10 minutes. I know that is useless after all.
When I return, a saw a CISCO traffic warden(white uniform) using his handheld equipment. I told him that because the loading bay was full and I am collecting food for charity, he said that I should not park there. He said he have entered my vehicle's details. Later, i repeated myself and he say don't park here again. Then he walked away.
For such case, will I still get summon by post/mail?
