  u can check out the following website for more info.. http://driving-in-singapore.spf.gov.sg/services/Driving_in_Singapore/Information/dips/offences.htm
  
  but i think your offence is worth 3 demerit pts plus $120 fine..

  Hmm, fight the fine back.
  
  Tell them your car break down. And u do not have a hp with you! So you rushed to find a tel booth. And when u got back... u were fined.

  you should be receiving a letter from Mr TP who will ask for the particulars of the driver who parked the car there.. at least u have a chance to get a scapegoat to take the penalty for you if your driving licence is very important..

  If I am not wrong, it is S$120 and 3 points, or S$130 and 4 points, either one of them. The letter will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle in about 2-3 weeks time.

  offence 1: nv put breakdown triangle 200m away from the back of vehicle + hazard light.
  
  offence 2: not keeping the vehicle in a roadworthy condition
  
  subsequent reply from TP: pls provide the tow truck service receipt / repair receipt
  
  if minor breakdown - no repair or tow - then offence 3: leaving the vehicle to obstruct traffic when it could have been pushed to safer location before leaving vehicle unattended (as telephone is not life and death)

  For your case , i doubt anyone will be washing their car in middle of nite, assuming u parked there quite late in the nite, hence if no one complained , then it's ok.. well, if u are also a season ticket holder of the MSCP, you could be forgiven for once as you could argue that the entire MSCP got no empty lot when u came back that time.. but i doubt u could pull this stunt twice.. they won't waive you again for same offence the next time round.
