TP demerit pts
-
I recently needed to go to Cantonment Police station to make a report. I wanted to take MRT but my dad wanted to send me. He dropped me off in front of the station and went off. He got a traffic fine of $120 and 3 pts for stopping those few seconds. Now he's yelling at me over it saying "i kaypo for police and he got fined".
To be honest I agree with him but I can't take his yelling anymore. It's really upsetting me. I mean its the principle of it. I was helping the police in their investigations and they can't bend the rules slightly? Whats the point in helping them then?
He already has 12 pts to his name and I just got my license so its under probhation. I would honestly take the pts if I had the normal 23 pts but I only got 12 pts maximum. I know but its abit selfish but I don't want to take it. Do you think there;s anything that can be done to waive these 3 pts? Please help me. -
You could try making an appeal, but based on past experience with the Traffic Police, it seldom works.
Anyway, your father has accumulated 12 demerit points so far. That only entails a warning letter. As long as he does not incur any more points within the next 12 months, his record would be erased after that. -

U are P-plate...so left 12 pts.
Need to deduct 3 pts.either one of U can take these 3 pts without the need to stop driving(or ur dad has to,to be more politically correct
)
The problem is more like the kind of relationship U have with ur father,not the pts deducting thingy.Its just the fuse that starts the fire. -
ya...can try an appeal...best is U can include a letter from the IO that U went to the station to help police.Pray that it works.Originally posted by Tuatau:You could try making an appeal, but based on past experience with the Traffic Police, it seldom works.

Anyway...helping police doesnt really mean U are above the law hor. -
Thanks guys! I'll try to send an appeal. *sighs*
Yeah it's the 3 pts thats starting the arguments. The fine stated "Stopping in a no stopping zone" ... I mean who knows that the place outside Cantonment is no stopping zone

hi there, in your appeal maybe u can use your police report as a proof that, that day your dad drop u there cos u are going to make a police report..good luck in your appeal.

Any area outside any government building by right would be 'no stopping zone'. Especially if you try it outside a police's territory, it can really be much faster than you can imagine...Originally posted by angelicpenny:Thanks guys! I'll try to send an appeal. *sighs*

What your dad did was an offence. What the law often does is to separate out issues. If you feel that you shouldn't help them in the 1st place then next time don't? But please don't try stupid things like threats or its similar forms, as they can as easily charge you with hindering with the laws and such if they want?
