Picanto 3rd Gear December 19, 2009 Share December 19, 2009 A driver was spotted tailgating another car to enter and exit a carpark without paying, Stomp reported. Apparently this system of cheating works because the carpark gantry is unable to detect the second vehicle - which is too close, says the reader who highlighted the incident. The reader was at the Ang Mo Kio (AMK) Hub carpark when he witnessed a vehicle tailgating another car to enter the carpark for free. This incident occurred on Dec 15, 9pm. The reader told Stomp: "The owner of this vehicle (in the above photo) followed the vehicle in front closely and exited the carpark without paying his parking fee. "This tactic works and the 2nd vehicle will not be detected as another vehicle exiting the gantry," the reader added. "Carpark management usually will not pursue the matter further as the cost to investigate may not be viable. "To these vehicle owners who try to cheat the system: If you don't have money to park - don't drive! A spokesperson for AMK Hub's management said: "The current system has been designed to ensure the safety of drivers entering and exiting AMK Hub's carpark. "AMK Hub Mall Management will investigate incidents on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to take appropriate legal action when necessary." ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngloong Neutral Newbie December 19, 2009 Share December 19, 2009 Is the technology used by HDB/URA inferior to that used by LTA ERP gantry ? I rarely hear any ERP cheats. Also tailgating to exit without paying carpark was long reported in NUS parking, however the system has been upgraded to minimize the cheat rates. Perhaps HDB/URA should talk to NUS about it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
