Never Pay Road Tax - Going to Court

[gn1251]

I haven't paid my road tax for 4 months and I have just received a letter to attend court. The bike has been parked for the last 4 months because it needs repair. Is there any alternative to attending court?

[madman]

you can go LTA direct and appeal to the IO there.

 

but I doubt they will let you off.

 

go court, will pay fine few hundred bucks excluding the rd tax thingy.

[nebulaz]

yah...I dun tink any bike would need repair till 4 mths....unless laid off...my 2 cents..

[Wildswans]

How come the bike never laid off for the period?

Call them or go down to LTA and laid up lay your motorbike since you haven't paid for the road tax for 4 months. I also kanna before court letter mail to my house than i faster go laid up my motorbike. In the end nothings happen, heng ar. whether you wanna laid up or not you still have to go for inspection for your bike if you wanna carry on riding your bike.

Try to appeal.. If cannot can try ask ur MP for help.. If suay suay still cannot dan u have to attend court and get fine from them..

its illegal to park your vehicle in a public carpark without road tax or insurance, if its found that you have park in a public carpark you can be charged useless its in a workshop. think twice about laying up your bike, cos 1 bike can be lay up once only, after that you cant lay it up again you have to export it.

i think u are wrong. bikes can be laid up more than once.

but not more than dunno how many years. 2 or 3.

 

i have my dirtbike laid up for a long time becoz i wasnt using for public roads.

parked in a public carpark.stil can buy season parking.canvas it well. and im stil safe.even though i seen mr ROV a few times in my carpark.

maybe go LTA to appeal lor... say tat you dun really knoe the rule so well... ask them is they any others way instead of going to court...

[Wildswans]

BTW, in the Road Tax renewal letter, they state that if convicted in court, you face up to 2k in fine.

$2k? wohoo!! there will be holes in the pocket.. cos of never pay abt $40-$60 worth of road tax, den kena fine abt 50 times.. wah seh.. power sia.. all the best brother:thumb:

I don't think there is anyway to get out of appearing in court once you receive the letter. No matter what also need to turn up, else you will be in even deeper trouble.

ya lor better appeal le.. once they reserve hor, die liao.. sad to say..

[kennethy]

i think 4 months is a long time for you to take action... after sitting on it for 4 months, it is hard to come up with a good enough reason why they authority should let you off... good luck to you...

[hafiezismail]

all the best brother!

[Wildswans]

Tough to get out of, dun think the bike shop will step in either....

 

Good luck

you can lay up your bike at a public carpark, no problem. how i know? cos i went to LTA to lay up a skipper and at the form i wrote my carpark number as the location of laid-up vehicle. i double-confirmed with the kakak behind the counter and she told me it can be done.

 

only place you cant lay up your bike is your work place carparks. you'll need to get a letter from your company. i left my bike at the carpark for almost 5 months and using it to stop cars from parking at lots meant for motorcycles. i gave it to a friend who wanted to restore the bike. he, too parked it at his carpark.

 

cheers dude.

i got this from http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/maintain_vehicle/lay_up.html

 

Terms and Conditions Applicable to The Laid Up Vehicle:

(a) The vehicle shall not be used or kept on a public road or a public place.

[EJ]

[Wildswans]

So what's classified as a public place?

[Powieee]

[Wildswans]

So after 3 yrs, can put back on the road and then after that lay out again? Or total only 3 yrs?
