COE expired. Never Scrap. Now need to go court.

[effee]

Anyone have a similiar situation as me? My COE expired. I didnt ride the bike but kept it at home cos abit too lazy to take it to scrap.

 

Eventually I scrapped it but it exceeded the 1 month grace period. Now I have a court letter asking me to show up in court.

 

Anyone know how much the fine is roughly? Also can the charges be dropped just like road tax non payment if i head down straight to LTA and pay the fine?

this type of case wont go jail right?

[Silent Hunter]

Unlikely to go jail.

 

Can always give reason why didn't scrape within the grace period, and show that you already scraped by the time the letter to go to court came, so there was no intention to cheat the system.

 

Then act remorseful and ask for lighter sentence/ no jail.

[faun]

you are in deep trouble they can say you still use the bike when is time to scrap.

if u can't pay the fine, then is jail terms.

Parliament is dissolved, no more MP till after elections.

Yeap,like some1 said theres a grace period,given that you have a valid reason.

Like my neighbour recently,his COE ,road tax all finish,but since after the coe end date,for 1 mth nv scrap cus he was in overseas for work.

 

Thus once he came back,immidiatly go to LTA to explain and register scrap,next day a lorry will come to pick up ur scrap vehicle from ur carpark.

 

Hope it helps.

That bcoz he is Overseas = Valid Reason. Now our TS is Lazy, i dun tink Valid at all. Must find a Better Excuse lor.. Goin Court & telling them u're Lazy confirm kena slap wif heavy summon...

[CyBerKnighT]

Similar situation as me ..receive court letter but I already scrap my bike .coe end 06 feb 2012 I scrap 29 feb cos got no money ..now receive court letter ..they gave me until 7march .so how now ?fcuk the system!!

I'm really piss off ! Scrap = problem , nvr scrap also problem

[feriosi]

It's the owner's responsibility to scrap the bike within 1 month from the date of de-registration or renew the COE before it even expires. There will be 2 counts of charge once u are summoned to court, and the fine is usually about $800 if u are a 1st timer. U can request for postpone of court date for once if u tell them u need time to raise money to pay fine, usually 2-4 weeks. But better make sure u get ready the money to pay the fine before attending court, requesting for paying fine by installments will not be entertain.

Can we just give the frame and engine casing for scrapping? Keeping the other parts as memories?

What is the minimum parts required to scrape a bike.
