No worries. I am all for tearing the coupon when I am using my OPC. I just don't agree with the extreme definition of what constitutes as 'use'.

 

btw, from what I remember, washing of cars in MSCP ouside of the designated washing bay is also not allowed.

Ah... agree on #1. But for #3, it's within BM service center and definitely no such trade license plate used when shifting OPC one.

 

Stretching the point for #2 if I were be living on landed property and the OPC is in my front porch. By that (extreme) ruling, does it mean that I cannot even start the engine and move my car 1cm? Laugh

 

I agree with you last statement about the law and hat it's not discreiminatory. Sad part is that the people who are in positions to excerise their discretion on the enforcement are not using much of their grey matter.

 

Brings us back to a statement quite sometime back about singaporeans (in comparison with Hong Kongers)

 

Hong Kongers will not do what's explicitly not allowed, Singaporeans will only do what's explicitely allowed.

 

Well, yes you can start the engine, but if you move 1 cm. I guess they can book you even they stand outside your gate. I guess its also how extremely the officer interprets the law too. [sweatdrop]

 

It's just like the law on oral sex. I believe it was initially created to deter sex offenders (pedophiles) but it ended up affecting even dating or married couples. [laugh]

 

For your #3 point, probably it's easier for BM to justify/explain/appeal why they are moving the cars around, because it's their trade/business and within their premises.

 

But it's a different ball game if its an individual who is not in such a trade isn't it? [;)]

 

I sort of disagree on the last part though, I believe many Singaporeans are guilty of fornication and various illegal (by law) acts that is not explicitly allowed. [laugh][laugh]

Sis, it is not allowed

 

Basically, any movement within the restricted hours should be accompanied by a valid coupon and this includes even shifting your ride to the washing bay

 

Hihi, just curious, my areas now are doing some upgrading. If the workers there need to do some works near my OPC parking lot & require us to park at other lots that are not affected, do we need to use the $20 coupon jus to swift?

Brother, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

 

Washing car like a nighttime freelance foreign talent does tend to incur wrath of neighboring car owners, which you might be 'rewarded' with higher repair costs of your own vehicle amounting to more than the fines of illegal OPC car movement. [lipsrsealed]

 

And I've not even mentioned about the illegal part of washing car in a parking lot. [sweatdrop]

Well... the fundamentals are the same. It's

 

1. MOVING of a OPC

2. It's within the owner/BM's own compound

 

whether it's because of business/personal reasons is immaterial (in my opinion) [sly]

 

My last statement was made with reference to civil servants in general ... [sly]

they ask town council to come fine u for parking at washing bay.

 

The more correct statement is that I am not parking. I was washing my car but am not allowed to shift it out because it's after 7am. So technically, I am not parking. Are they gonna pay me for the $20 coupon to shift it? [sly]

 

I know, this line of reasoning is bordering rediculous/senile. But then again, it's just as 'logical' as requiring a OPC coupon to shift 1cm

Probably they will continuously fine you for parking in a non-parking lot, until your fines exceeds the $20 OPC coupon. [shakehead] Some wardens in certain areas are known to do that for normal plate - non-season ticket offenders.

 

Will you be loaded enough to try? [;)]

I don't think they can continously fine one offence. That being the case, if it's less than $20 for parking at the washing bay, why not?

 

I am not loaded. But I am also able to see which is a better deal [laugh]

No idea bro. If its an isolated area (like a corner of a carpark), I think it should be okay.

 

But in the context of the freelance foreign talents, you can see that at some point it does violates those policies. Thus, in my humble opinion, it's illegal.
