Expressway Lamp Post

[Thug]

My Bro-in-law had a little accident on the 1st day of CNY.

Apparently his front 2 tires were bald and lost control along PIE towards Changi.

He also slammed into one of the lamp posts.

 

He wasn't driving very fast but enough to damage the lamp post.

Now question is how much to repair one such lamp post?

 

Thanks in Advance

I think LTA will send him the bill.. but if IIRC, I read before that 1 lamp post is at least $600.

LoL...so cheap? For that amount raw material also can't cover. I heard it costs around $2.5k.

[Thug]

I did a little research myself.

Its ranging from few hundreds to 30k.

 

30k~ its made of gold.

[Watwheels]

Is it dented or totally can scrap?

 

Repair cost and replacement cost I think it's a big difference.

the lamp post is one lamp or the 1 lamp post that derive into 2..i rem 600 is for tree...lamp post wise is 3k..

If a single lampost cost thousands, better claim the topple lampost for keeps. As for the lampost number,go buy 4D

haha..ya rem to buy 4d..and fyi the centre of the xpressway those metal barrier also cost thousands..

Hmmm...the post slant abit and the tip part...or rather the whole thing that has the bulb dropped.

I think its isn't repairable...got to replace the whole thing bah.

Wad do u mean by "claim the topple lamp-post fr keeps"?

[Leepee]

There is no road barrier on the PIE to prevent the car hitting the Lamp post? Or the car 'flew' over the barrier?

 

Anyhow, I think it will be covered by the insurance.
