Advice on TP demerit pts stuff
-
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. 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 I am selfish but I don't want to take it in case I hit a camera. Do you think there;s anything that can be done to waive these 3 pts? Please help me. -
if i'm not wrong it should state in the fine on where to appeal.

yeah got ... but does it actually work? is there a chance that the TP would waive the 3 pts? I mean the money is not so bad (although $120 is alot) but the 3 pts is the problem.. my dad dont wanna take it, i also dont wanna take it.Originally posted by kopiosatu:if i'm not wrong it should state in the fine on where to appeal. -
that's what appeals are for. appeal and wait for the result.Originally posted by angelicpenny:yeah got ... but does it actually work? is there a chance that the TP would waive the 3 pts?

Its double continuous zig zag lines in front of the building. No stopping at all times!!Originally posted by angelicpenny:I recently needed to go to Cantonment Police station to make a report.

But the fine states "stopping in a no stopping zone" leh... not stopping on double zig zag yellow lines... i dunno... never received a fine before so i dont even know how its stated.Originally posted by Troy437:Its double continuous zig zag lines in front of the building. No stopping at all times!!
In that case I dont think I would ever want to help them if they call me up again.... not worth it. -
ok thanks. I'll write in and try to appeal. Hope it works. This is a waste of time. Help police and get this kind of thing in return.....Originally posted by kopiosatu:that's what appeals are for. appeal and wait for the result.

State your reason why your dad parked there ... wait for a few days for their reply ... best is to go thru your minister ... go to your 'Meet the Minister' session which falls mostly on Monday @ 6.30pm for most districts ... Your minister will then write to TP on your behalf ...Originally posted by angelicpenny:ok thanks. I'll write in and try to appeal. Hope it works. This is a waste of time.

there was once i parked my dad's car at yellow line... but didnt use coupon... came down kana liao
because i thought i would only take a few mins to rush back to my home to get sth...
then i decided to try my luck. cooked up story say sth urgent happened at home... had to rush up.. no choice but to park there... dan i sent it by e-mail to the town council..
few days later the chairman of the town council replied me and said he helped me to revoke the fine liao... yah lah although our story very different. but im just letting u know u can try explaining ur reasons...

Ok Thanks Nick34. I'll give that a try. He actually didn't park there. He just dropped me off then the fine came "stopping in a no stopping zone". It's abit stupid to be honest... who knows Cantonment is a no stopping zone?Originally posted by nick34:State your reason why your dad parked there ... wait for a few days for their reply ... best is to go thru your minister ... go to your 'Meet the Minister' session which falls mostly on Monday @ 6.30pm for most districts ...

no stopping zones either have the no stopping sign, or more commonly nowadays, double zigzag yellow lines on the side of the road.Originally posted by angelicpenny:who knows Cantonment is a no stopping zone?
i guess that's why we all have to take the basic theory or riding theory. -
Good luck on your appeal! But I seriously think finding MP is the best and safest way. Cos' govt board also need to give govt board face mah...

You got a point there. I tried writing to Ubi already. Lets hope it goes ok.Originally posted by cannypie:Good luck on your appeal! But I seriously think finding MP is the best and safest way. Cos' govt board also need to give govt board face mah... -
just tell them your dad car stall and can't start for a few seconds when appealing;p
-
They sent me a postcard thing back saying "your letter is receiving attention"... so that means i temporarily no need to pay the fine by 12 May as stated initially right?Originally posted by Gent-X:just tell them your dad car stall and can't start for a few seconds when appealing;p

yes you are right ... no need to pay until further notice ... it will come soon ... stating if your appeal is successful or notOriginally posted by angelicpenny:They sent me a postcard thing back saying "your letter is receiving attention"... so that means i temporarily no need to pay the fine by 12 May as stated initially right?
