Too troublesome i guess

Haven't heard of that extra card to save on parking, but i have encountered 'free' parking/ERP before due to faulty cash card / IU before (in previous car). Does it mean that if one day they decide to track carpark cheats, people with a problem similar to mine will also be implicated? Hmm...

It will be too troublesome to track down every cars...

I think it will be difficult to prove if the drivers had the intention to cheat, or they honestly thought their IU had been read and the barrier was lifted for them to pass, or it was a technical error in reading the IU or sensor error which led to temporary malfunction of the barrier.

no point waste money to engage lawyer to sue them just to get back few dollars. for those extreme cases they will wheel clamp the car till the owner pay up

It's just a simple software upgrade... matter of "before or after" in their program only.

that's right ... as long as barrier lifted, we drive off liao. sometimes. didn't even check how much $$$ is deducted as long as there is a beep & the barrier goes up.

 

the onus should be on the carpark mgmt to ensure that the barrier do not activate if no $$$ is deducted & not labelling drivers as cheats or crooks if your system allows them to exit the carpark without paying.

In order to have a successful aprehension, the culprit must be caught red-handed. In this case, its circumstantial evidence if proceed to prosecute.
