* WARNING to Bikers* Bike unfairly wheel-clamped at office building

[fishlipps]

Hi , I just recently got wheel-clamped at office bldg Park***w Sq***e near Bugis area. Went there for job interview, didnt know where to park so placed in one dark corner, came back was wheel-clamped. Was pointed out a Wheel-clamp diagram display, but to me looked like was for Car, and as you know, we Bikers cant see diagrams anyway as we go down the ramp. So, Bike stranded there for 2 weeks while the appeal process to building mgmt crawled along like a snail. Even nearby police dept dropped by to help to try negotiate. But in the end still had to pay the utterly exorbitant fee of $150. Approx 8 appeal letters, over 2 weeks (18 days or so). Thus, to the entirely heartless mgmt of this cursed building, congratulations to you all ! ** WARNING to Bikers **

Hi Thks for posting. The wheel clamp signs (not prominent) show only the car wheel , only the words said "Illegally parked vehicle will be wheel-clamped" - Did not specify M/bike,. Furthermore, there were absolutely NO directions signs to the bike lots which were on another DIFFERENT LEVEL altogether.

 

Even the tenant company themselves (my interviewer) sent a Letter of Appeal but was ignored completely. They also revealed that they have earned by clamping M/bikes there before

usually when i need to go there to meet my financial advisor, i would park at the open car park opposite. either that, or i just park on pavement where all the couriers park

Sorry to say this bro but generic wheel clamp signages applies to all vehicles, motorcycles included. Does not necessarily have to show the picture of a motorcycle.

 

Anyway, when in doubt, ask the security guards or parking office attendants. That's what I always do...

I understand, but the problem was, I had little doubt ! there was NO M/bike lot in sight, no directions to the lots, didnt see the 'clamp sign', I was there on official business, there were no guards around, etc. so i placed the Bike at one dark corner. 'as usual' suay suay (actually i dont think ANY penalties is 'suay' in this fine city) kena clamped

Hi, I advise DO NOT PARK at the pavement there, during one of my discussions with the security staff, they claimed to even Clamp the bike outside on the pavement ! (??) M/Bike parking IS allowed in the building, the Lots are at Basement 2 and just give your bike number to the security office.
