Kklee 6th Gear October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 If let's say an OPC got involved in an accident during the restricted hours without an e-Day License, will there be insurance coverage ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
currypuff 5th Gear October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 It is an offence to drive an OPC or ROPC car without a valid e-Day Licence. The driver or registered owner of the OPC or ROPC car who causes or permits the car to be driven during the restricted hours faces a fine not exceeding $5,000. For a second or subsequent convictions, he or she will face a fine not exceeding $10,000.” LTA 2016 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second or subsequent convictions, he or she will face a fine not exceeding $10,000.” LTA 2016 That's the LTA part. I am trying to get information on the insurance part. E,g, If let's say an OPC and non-OPC got into an accident and the OPC is 100% at fault. Days later, it was found that the OPC do not have a valid e-Day License. LTA would of course blow whistle and fine the OPC. What about insurance? Will the OPC insurance company absolve itself ?

Benarsenal Turbocharged October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 Check with the insurance company. I believe some will say they won't pay out if an offence is committed (which would include this I think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with the insurance company. I believe some will say they won't pay out if an offence is committed (which would include this I think). Likely, if they can absolve, they most likely would.

Terrylmt Supercharged October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 OPC owners can purchase e-Day license online at any time of the day within the same day of usage, before 2359hrs - no need to buy right at the instant when they drive the car out. So they can drive the car out at 9am, run their errands, then go online and purchase e-Day license at a later time within the same day of use, e.g. 5pm. Even if they miss the deadline of 2359hrs, they can still pay at a later date but at a higher price of $30. Normal price is $20. SOURCE: https://www.onemotoring.com.sg/content/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/latest_updates/off-peak_car.html "For WEC/OPC/ROPC users who missed the payment deadline i.e. before 11.59 p.m. of the following day after usage date, are allowed to voluntarily declare the usage online via the ONE.MOTORING website. Upon successful acceptance of the declaration, a Notice of Traffic Offence (NTO) offering a composition amount of $30 will be sent to the driver for the violation. Please note that the declaration to LTA has to be made within Day 3 to Day 5 from the usage date, Day 1 being the usage date." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACH Supersonic October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 (edited) Note that for most policies, the yearly insurance bought remain the same, regardless of OPC or normal plate. Edited October 12, 2017 by DACH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that for most policies, the yearly insurance bought remain the same, regardless of OPC or normal plate. Maybe some OPC owners can verify that.
