Just Came Out from Court 21 (Speeding Fines)
-
For those who need to know before you speed, here's the run down on the standard of fines here in Singapore.
40km/h below set speed limit - Summon ranging S$100 to S$500
40km/h above set speed limit - YOU GO TO COURT 21!!!
Double the set speed limit - YOU GO TO COURT 21 and Guarantee 4 to 6 months Suspension plus fines of S$900 to S$1500.
I was doing 127 over set limit of 80. My fine was S$800 payable on the spot! Standard was about S$900 for most of the 80 of so people that was haul up today at court 21.
So before you speed, check your wallet if you have enough to pay up and get haul up to court 21. -
wah
-
Woah indeed
-
WHOAAAAAAA
-
Wahhh..... ... they only take cash?? No credit card or check ah....
-
whooooaaaaaaaaa
-
oH NO... I think I need to ask my turtle to take things easy nowadays.... slow is a virtue
-
so you are going at 127km/h or 207km/h?
-
I was doing 127km/h along AYE, just past Tiger Beer towards second linlk because my dad with in trouble in Pontian some months ago when i was stopped. I gave this reason to the judge and got a S$100 discount as almost all others got S$900 as standard.
You can pay by Nets, Cashcard, Cheque or Cash and the police (holding to your IC) lead you (with many others) and walk down the stairs from level 3 to the counter to made payment (in front of everyone visiting Sub court, much like a parade of convict!s)
2 lady was amongst the 80 or so speedsters today and one was fine extra S$500 for having a radar detector in his car. Can beg for installment as one motorcyclist did and judge agrees.
Anyhow, sharing to you all and this is behind me now.
Cheers! -
omg... so expensive
-
whhooooaaaa
-
wah.. that's expensive..
-
pengyou eh....fight ma!!! why didn't u fight?! it is an offence to hold on to your IC you know? Policeman can only hold on to your passport for fear you escape Singapore....never never let policeman hold on to your IC...i was a regular policeman before....
remember the rule of the thumb:-
------x8--------cut & paste on dashboard---------
Rule No. 1 - If there is no car infront speeding, then don't speed
Rule No. 2 - If you have to speed, see Rule No. 1 -
You forgot to add what would be the demerit points from the speeding !!! For most of us, that would be even more painful than the monetary fine!!
-

i ganna once on ECP...ganna at 127 km/h too...on a 90km/h set road...

No Singapore legal system is basing on "No Nonsense Fine System"Originally posted by sphinx_v:Wahhh..... ... they only take cash?? No credit card or check ah.... -
The best bet when you are caught is to plead guilty on the spot and ask for leniency. Unless you are quite sure you were wronged. Most TP also humans doing their job and can sweet talk them one. Once, I was caught doing 94km/h on a 50km/h road. Suppose to go court but the TP reduced to the lesser penalty - $200 and 6 demerit points.

I been to court 21 this once... and I told myself it would be my last!
I was riding my brother new Husky 125cc on my 21st birthday on the way to meet my friends at Tampines. Traffic was slow on PIE... just as I passed the Paya Lebar exit up the flyover, I was signalled to stop by TP17 on his motorbike (I will never forget!)
He claimed that I was swinging in and out of traffic at 92km/hr. I apologized (what a dumbarse anyway). I begged for leniency and told him that it's my 21st birthday. In turn, he said! "Okay, Mr (surname), I am going to give you a big birthday present, follow me". He took my license and wanted me to follow him, I suppose it was to Maxell Road; to compound me and my vehicle. Made an U-turn at Eunos exit back into PIE. Then half way thru, I saw him talking into his walkie talkie and he stopped. Gave me a ticket (dangerous riding) and left me stranded on the highway; I actually felt relieved.
A few months later after countless appeals; there I was with about 80+ offenders waiting for judgement. 50+ offenders infront of me all got a fine ranging below $1,000. Came my turn, a very long statement was uttered (which I could hardly hear nor understand; due to the indian accent of this officer). A got a shocking $2,000 fine and 12 demerit points!
That was 6 years ago... I have not got caught breaking the law on the road since then. Err... I try to be discreet when I have no choice... you know what i mean...
When I get to drive my first car (Picanto) in Singapore, I pray that I will be spared like I have been for my past six years. Anyway, I am accident free so let it not happen even when I start driving my Picanto. Thank you God!

Wow $900?? But to think properly, speeding is not good on the road lah...coz it endanger everyone's lives including yours. I saw one lorry speed on normal road come to traffic light no time to stop, skidded and langgar the lamp post....in the end have to pay for the lamp post.
