Angry motorists pull no punches on traffic wardens

For your friend's case, is the engine on or off? if no driver, means it is being parked (even for 1 min).. no excuses.
But... but.... but... if engine not off, kena summon for leaving engine on while idling. But I think got solution. Just employ another worker to sit in the vehicle lor.
:heresmyfish: drive, not sit..... no idling remember? -

I did not violate traffice rules. The was no yellow line where I parked. The yellow line was drawn on the road behind where I parked.
You violated traffic rules what more do you want to say?Laura02:
Yes, TP are nicer. I also feel that traffic wardens of the past, like 5-10 yr ago also nicer. Then, they would walk around the car, look around to see if anyone rushing up to the car first, then take out pen and paper to write summon. And, like Imami, you rush up to the warden in time to plead your case, they would just give a stern warning.
Now, the wardens seem to just su kak, su kak issue summon, then say not happy go appeal lor! I was issued with a summon for parking in front of the yellow line. Call up to complain and was told that cannot park 6m in front of the yellow line! My friend who owns a convenience store was summoned for parking in the loading and unloading bay by her shop! She had just unloaded some goods to the shop and was already returning to the car when the warden came. She asked the warden why summon, and the warden said because no one was in the car!
I think there will be fewer incidences of violence towards traffice wardens if they were nicer. most of us will accept that we have to pay a fine if we genuinely violated the traffic rules. Yes, the rules say \" ...\" but the people who enforce the rules should try to temper justice with mercy, and season it with humor.
That, I feel, is where Singapore is now heading dangerously towards. Take for example, that newly opened New Zealand restaurant whose staff spontaneously broke into the Hakka dance on the sidewalk outside its shop. Yes, there are rules that you cannot hold a public performance without prior approval. Yes, they probably did plan some stunt, ... but, ... Oh, you know, a little bit of leeway should be allowed.
If rules are not enforced, what is the point of setting rules? Like have non-smoking rule and yet everyone smoking everywhere.. obviously NEA or ENV not doing their job.
Leeway should be given only in real emergencies.. not to be abused. By violating traffic rules, some way or the other, you are potentially causing inconvenience to others, do you realize that? rules are there for a reason.
For your friend's case, is the engine on or off? if no driver, means it is being parked (even for 1 min).. no excuses.
Why some pple just cannot learn to abide by the rules..
If you get away, it's a bonus, if not, just suck it up.. why blame the wardens doing their job?
And what difference does it make whether the engine was on of off. Is it better to leave the engine on while the car is stationary? Yes, go ahead and send carbon monoxide into the environment.
There's no need to rude and offensive. -
Lim lim, I was going to post a an angry reply, but I shall not stoop to your level of rudeness and vulgarity.
What goes around, comes around.
Have a good day. -
There is also a rule that say cannot park between a continuous white line and the kerb. The white line usually starts where the yellow lines stop… six metres from the junction. I think maybe you kena that one.
There is also a rule that say I must stop the car before the line when coming to a junction. But if I stop the car before the line, I can’t see oncoming traffic. Some rules look good on paper but are just stupid on the ground. -
No, there was no white line either. This place quite ulu, wild grass on either side, no traffic turn into that road either, except to park there.

i've never realised traffic rules as stupid until i see the one with the stop junction line.. i see my dh usually exceed the line a little and bend forward to look at oncoming traffic... -
