Off peak car driving offense issue

[darkmatt]

The current scheme is way better. That time have to buy paper licence in advance. In emergency can't drive. Now anytime can buy. Drive already can still buy.

No difference, forgetful is forgetful. Now at least drive already then remember still have chance to buy.

IMHO it's about personal discipline and knowing what one is getting into. No point KPKB after the fact. The majority of OPC drivers can remember.

thats the old OPC scheme.

old WEC is ONLY allowed to drive on weekends. no more, no less

IIRC, WEC scheme in the past also has similar paper coupons issued when you renew road tax. Can be used for weekday usage.

5 coupons a year. Sat after 3pm onwards.

even if i were to "collect" cars, i would still get a normal plate for the freedom.

I don't know about "freedom". Afterall its more of a mental barrier than anything else.

Its just a matter of a few clicks before driving off. Or if you are the meticulous kind of person to remember it, do those few clicks after you get home.

Its a minor inconvenience compared to the money saved.

i got a friend who paste a post it note over the key hole of the OPC and everytime he wanna start.. he will remember to buy using sms... i think it works very well..

Correct la bro, but you must remember the money you saved while getting the car, it is a substantial amount. Its not a terribly inconvenient thing to buy the e-coupon nowadays.

Owning and driving an OPC has already been made as reasonably convenient as possible liao.

when cum to $$$ isssue
i still find it extremely impossible to forget to purchase a day ticket.

especially when it involve ah gong $$$

yea, but it just takes that one time to forget and then never ever forget again.

sometimes you just get too busy and forget about it.

lol. i rather take taxi than to buy OPC.

OPC park at home collect dust nia.

when you need a transport within 5 mins, then you understand the usefulness of a OPC lo.

There's other downsides to taxis.

- the confusing and expensive surcharges imposed on fares
- not being able to get one when you need one, during shift changing time, rain, just before midnight
- not going where you want to go even if you get one

Busy is sometime a excuse. You can try to remember it while travelling and enjoy while driving from point A to B !

I pity TS, open up a thread - get flame and screw by normal plater and red plater themselves.

Well, for me - i jus pity the TS abd agree with human error. Which is why the enforcement do not enforce mandatory jail sentence for repeat OPC offender... lolz... Good luck and take care, TS!

I don't see the need for jail sentence for repeated OPC offender though. Cause I don't think its a criminal offence. But then, cheating ah gong's money is more serious than anything........

It depends hor...... If you are not anywhere near your car, its also useless..... Eg. you at work place but your car parked near your house. Thus having car also using. You have to depend on cab.

Well, sometimes, its whether the person deserve it or not......

Forget is not exactly a good excuse to give cause it shows that you did not put in effort to remember.
