Appeal to Uncle Sam..URGENT!!

[welly]

I got 3 demerit pts and fined $120 for parking my bike on double zig-zag lines about 5 days ago.I was withdrawing cash from the ATM and my bike was like 20m away from me.I didn't even notice the Cisco traffic warden booking me.I would like help on this matter and appeal to Uncle Sam.How do I write a letter to Uncle Sam?The deadline is 2nd May 2008.I don't mind the demerit pts but its the fine.Minus the GST credits i'll get,my "profit" will b only $80..

show the atm receipt maybe they let u off

[bladeboy]

can try good luck . . .

[BlackBandit]

Dude,

sorry to be a buzzkill but to get a waiver would be like striking Toto... furthermore, it's on double zig-zag lines which means no stopping.

 

You can try but inevitably, you'll still have to pay the summons...

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

even if u have the receipt, doesnt mean can park anywhere... and since growth dividend and GST credit has take place... looks like chances are slim... not tryng to give u the negative thots... but yea... Welcome To Singapore...A FINE City...

[contrarian]

You did it, you knew what you were doing. Looks like you have to learn your lesson the hard way.

[welly]

THANK U V MUCH GUYS...looks like the replies came from seasoned "laochiau" forumers.based on all yr thoughtful comments,the bottomline is...PAY THE FINE,SAY A FEW WORDS AND DON'T EVER COMMIT SILLY MISTAKES AGAIN.

[bladeboy]

send in yr appeal to try,there's no harm doing it.

Chances of wavied demerit points is higher but for the fine.... it's going to be real low..

Bro,i think u cant avoid the summon & points even if u appeal,cause i also had the same parking offence with u few years back,i didn't even appeal & i just pay the fine & get 3 pts demerit,reason very easy cause i deserved it when i already know that it against the rules.Hope my reply did not get u heated up.

 

If not wrong they will tell you straight away did u know the rules that zig-zag lines are not allowed to park at all times even if u have lots of reasons to tell them.

Hey welly,

 

Did you got this ticket at Pasir Ris near the community ctr and the police post eh?

 

I park my car there twice and got 6 points and $240 fine in total already.

 

That cisco warden is 1 damn lousy fella. I saw it many time.

 

Cheers!

Bro,i think u cant avoid the summon & points even if u appeal,cause i also had the same parking offence with u few years back,i didn't even appeal & i just pay the fine & get 3 pts demerit

 

case to case basis i would say. u did not appeal as u know it's yr wrong and just paid up & had points deducted.

Some people appeal even though they knew it's wrong for the offence,because they want a lighter sentence for the committed offence and hope the law can give them a chance to change.

me had my points waived n pay only the fine after appealed.It's better than not nothing..at least u know yr points still full..

[welly]

once again,THANK U V MUCH for the comments.never expected such a a response to my thread.and no Mr Vincekam Moderator..i parked my bike along the road near the row of banks at Bdk Interchange,near KFC.I was really caught off-guard.was away less than 15mins but so was the Cisco warden.i mean,what kind of training do the wardens learn?stealth?if so,i wana join! haiz...but this is fate..u win some,u lose some.I will just pay the fine IMMEDIATELY after getting my GST credits so i wont forget abt the fine and incur further losses(summoned to court).S'pore is indeed a FINE city.Keep it up,S'pore!

[xiaobanz]

For me if i were to go to the bank with a pillion i will stop by the road. Cos my place here got zig zac lines then i will ask them to stand by my bike. If not i will make an effort to park at the bike parking lot further away. Cos i got fined so many times i think i can overhaul the bike + get new tires.

[welly]

i think we can all agree here that singapore is a ****ed-up nation when it comes to having compassion for the less fortunate

[Kenix]

The rich people like 'garment' become richer while the poor ones become poorer lor... Find better & dark spot to park 1st b4 heading off to do things. Bedok central there always hav auntie sammie walking around to summon illegal parking de.

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

actually CISCO has a list of traffic wardens deployed to catch those illegal parking by the road side... dunno if they updated it already or not...

[Guest stages]

Huh??? If poor, should have no vehicle at all, mah. Then no need to be summoned.

yesss..n due to this kinda behaviour,more n more singaporeans r becoming bankrupt.if u cant afford a car,well so be it.dun try to act all flashy and richie rich

[BlackBandit]

Honestly welly & Kenix,

 

Paying summons, maintenance, rising insurance/ERP/petrol costs are just the basics of owning a vehicle. We have to factor all this in when we sign on the dotted line of the hire purchase agreement (Kenix, can you give me a ballpark percentage of how many people pay for the vehicles in full?)

 

I always tell my friends who want to take their first step to owning a vehicle. If you're gonna whine when forking out the dough for the basics, then you're not ready to own a vehicle.
