Is this summon offence senseless?

post-8544-1325338346_thumb.jpgI was sending my boss back to office after going to the bank to withdraw bonuses (not that its anything) and the small basement carpark was full thus the building's security guard signalled for me to park at the side near the guardhouse.

 

 

 

It was about 1.30 p.m.

 

At about 2.20 p.m. I returned to my vehicle and found a summon offence of $50 parking on Double Yellow Line Behind Parking Lot 10!

 

 

BTW Parking Lot 10 is the lorry as u see in the picture.

 

 

 

Is this really nitpicking, splitting hairs? its very senseless imho.

 

 

 

I might be wrong and I intend to go to URA to appeal. I was almost on pte property with a small part of my wheel touching the yellow line.

 

 

 

I believe that parking offences are to discourage car owners from dangerous driving/parking or causing inconveniences not to let the system suka suka penalise as they like.

 

 

 

I'd like to hear your views. I might really be wrong :(

 

Anyone thinks I've got a decent case to discuss with the URA?

 

 

 

if not $50 just pay and forget it. Otherwise feel quite indignant.

There is always 2 differing views. To u parking lots full and parking as instructed by guardhouse should give leeway.

To summon auntie ur selfish acts blocked and caused inconvenience to every single person who walks pass that place.

 

Appealing is door to bridging the difference in opinion.

In my opinion you are blocking the pedestrian path thats why the parking warden decided to issue you a summon? But I think if you appeal with the reason that the guard asked you to park there temporarily as the carpark was full then should be able to get it waived.

Try to appeal...no harm.

 

BTW, your whole car is on public road. Anything outside that wall belongs to gov....so it is just a matter if they want to close one eye or go by the book. Even some residents living on landed property who parked outside their gate 'mini' access road kenna.

 

Just curious, that white evo was not fined?

You are blocking pedestrians from walking. Very inconsiderate

 

 

quite true also la if u put it that way but its an industrial park and in small singapore, if really want to nit pick alot of things also consider blocking way from bicycles leaning against the tree on the foot path etc.

 

 

im not disagreeing with your views just pointing out that if really wanna debate on blocking pedestrians then alot of things is blocking pedestrians.

 

 

 

heck the cones put by the guard on what is supposed to be part of the public road is actually also causing inconvenience but often one wouldve hoped for some sense of proportion from ura.

 

 

 

i might be hoping too much.

I would say can try appeal although chances are slim... personally I would just pay the $50 and move on to a better 2012...

 

BTW, what I really want to comment on is... Sweet ride bro!

If let it go, the culprit, parking summon auntie/guy get away scot free

 

What scot free, the parking attendant did nothing wrong. It is just that they are too desperate nowadays.

You can write in but definitely you are wrong and the pictures and your write-ups does not make any sense of you being right.

 

1. From the picture, it can be seen you are parking on public roads and not private land.

 

2. It is an offence to park at double yellow line whether it is abit or not of that line. The main reason for these lines are prohibition for illegal parking and it is clearly shown and yet you plonk your car there.

 

3. Clearly your car obstructed the public pesdestrian walkway but yet you chose to ignore. This shows what kind of attitude you have for others. Bochap and selfish.

 

4. The instructions by the security guard is not valid. He is ignorant but that does not mean you can be ignorant too for the above 1 to 3 points stated. There is a saying people ask you to jump, you will jump ?

 

5. The guard cannot be blame for he does not have basic highway code knowledge and yet you have but blantantly breached.

 

6. The guard only has juristication over the private property engaged and not public property. Use brain la when he tell you do this and that. He has not control over LTA or TP lah.

 

Sorry for being so straightforward but hope you can see the "light" and learn from here bro. I donno whether you can get your ticket waive due to the above but I think you have to think of a better reason unless the authorities are feeling good.

You were there 50 mins, the guard if he really wants to let you wait would allow you to do so in the pte property. When he directs you outside, he may not be allowing you to wait, rather he is pushing the responsibility out, meaning to URA.

 

I had experiences where the guard say wait outside there (pointing to the double yellow line or zig zag line), telling me this is pte property and must wheel clamp if I wait there.

 

Guess the guard didn't bother explaining so much or just give you any excuse to make sure it is not his responsibility.

 

It would sound a little silly if you write in to URA stating that the guard "allowed" you to park there.... If you want to appeal write a remoseful appeal letter stating that you will not commit the offence again and you wanted to use toilet etc... urgently, you have a better chance of getting it written off then guard saying you "allowed" to park there.

 

Anyways Happy New Year to you and all.....

The guard ask you park outside doesn't make it legal, his job is to govern entry into the private space. Moreover you are blocking the pedestrian walkway.

 

Even if appeal successfully doesn't make it right.

 

Please admit the mistake, pay the fine and learn a lesson.
