high probability way to excuse oneself

  Anyone knows of a high-probability way of being excused with Singapore Police Force Traffic Offence?

   

  My old-aged dad has (again)  gotten himself another letter from the traffic police.  This time round, he'd driven at 82km/h instead of the allowed-60km/h on a minor road.
  
  I can't blame my dad, as he is earning a living driving a taxi.  & with all these strict rules whatsoever, he gets into these trouble then.

   

  My experiences with all these,

  email-appeals don't work,

  calling up the hotline only directs oneself to automated systems- eg.  to use email to appeal etc. 

   

  From hearsay,  there're a system whereas one can personally approach the officer at their Ubi Avenue 3 headquarters. 

  
  Is it true? 
  Can I go on behalf of my dad, using his IC & letter?
  Is it a high probability chance of being excused?

   

  If not, it's another $150 gone. (from my pocket)

  the problem here is when u mentioned the term "AGAIN". There is little or no chance for repeat offenders to be excused. Ask your dad to slow down or he will face many more fines to come or even worst off, get involved in an accident.

  So...  no one ever goes down to appeal at the headquarter?

   

  Not an issue of slowing down or whatsoever... i mean (mentioned on letter) the allowed 60km/h is like "slow"... real slow ...   ridiculous, I think.

  Sometimes.  the officer will station himself on overhead bridge.  The one i am aware of is  (weekdays morning on lornie road bridge).

  If u know of any other such spots, perhaps u may share?  Or do u know if there're any way to appeal?
