http://www.straitstimes.com/STForum/Online...ory_686798.html LTA should be more proactive I LIVE in a private estate near Upper Changi Road. For years, I have been tolerating obstruction from irresponsible car owners who park illegally along the side of a road with a continuous, single white line, preventing me from getting into and out of my house. Each time, I will call the Land Transport Authority's (LTA's) hotline for assistance. When the enforcement officers arrive, usually after repeated calls and much delay, they will look for the owners and ask them to move their cars to alternative parking areas. No enforcement action is taken, and other illegally parked cars are left alone. When I wrote to the LTA recently, a staff member called me and suggested I take the following steps should I encounter similar obstructions again: - First, call my neighbourhood committee for assistance; - Second, call the LTA hotline; and - Third, take photographs of the offending vehicles and submit these with my personal particulars to LTA for it to take action. The staff member said I must be prepared to attend court to testify against the offenders, if the LTA is challenged. I wish to ask LTA the following: - What is the purpose of the continuous, single white line on the road? - What are the functions of the enforcement unit? - Why should a road offence complaint be channelled to the neighbourhood committee first? - Why do I need to take photographs and testify for LTA to bring the offender to justice? Isn't this the function of the LTA's enforcement unit? - Finally, why is LTA adopting such a passive attitude? Richard Goh

i orderd my tein coilovers last month, so as i wasn't getting any news, decided to call up the shop and asked them about its status. lo and behold, the boss told me that the basic coilovers are out of stock, and he ordered the super street version for me, and plus EDFC, which was not in the original order. so i was a bit caught off guard, and didn't know whether to or ? the boss said there will be a "recalculation" of the price... how much more can it jump from 1.8k? what would you do if a shop does this to you?
