oh come on. this 3/4 ruling has been going on for years already.

you can remember to bring your passport but not top up your petrol? haha

plus, there's warning signs of the 3/4 rule before u reach the causeway..

I thought its quite random.. asking cars to unwind and peak inside.

maybe not true but at least from what I notice that nite..

Usually they don't check during peak period. Like morning 6-10am and evening 3-7pm. The reason it can cause backlog and huge traffic jam. At night 10pm to 2am they usually check for the simple reason most cars that go in during that time their main aim is to top up petrol.

 

But But But, once in a while they check all the car whether during peak, non peak, morning evening night whatever. The word is deterence.....

 

It is like ciggie.... u can smuggle and don't caught for 5 years but suay kena 100 percent check and get caught..... Not worth it.....

Have been checked i think 4 times so far, every time they check EVERY car at the choke point just past passport control. so don't think they target certain cars.

Checking nowadays are random, so u still hv to top-up b4 entering MY. But if yr gauge is too low like 1/4 tank then they will fine u lor. Anyway, I always put in some petrol if it is too low, no point getting fine. I remember my first time kena was s$50 fine, but quite a while back leow.... tt time i really forgot to topup......

There is a monitor placed on the desk of the custom officer.

What do you think it is for? To check the number of times a car goes in?

u lucky u only get $100 fine.. i think the fine was $500...

 

heard from ppl in transport line, they say the X-ray machine was also able to see the level of oil in the tank.. but that is for those big lorry/container... not sure whether they had a miniture version install next to the checking point or not..if yes... i think all those modification are useless in front of those x-ray machine.

 

as for the monitor... nvr see what is the detail on the screen.. but expected is some sort of blacklist...

maybe they had recently raid a workshop who do fuel tank modification.. they probably got all the vehicle who had visit the workshop in the blacklist..

 

so for me.. i dont try to push my luck... even $10 petrol.. i will also go and pump before going in so as to make the needle stay above the 3/4 tank mark.

Wouldn't think so, if they really had this think how many people would have been caught. You would be reading in the papers every day about another case...
