Singapore The Fine City: 10 Offences You Might Not Realise You’re Committing (And The Fines You’d Be Liable For)

Here are some offences you’re probably committing – and how much you’ll be fined if you were caught.

dollarsandsense.sg

The city has a lot of fines, and its good to read up on what not to do, before you visit. Yip you can get fined for not flushing a public toilet, but you also cant idle on the side of the road. Yip up to $2000 (x11 for rand value).

I wish however they do this.... (Fine upto $1000)

Here's a discussion about the 10 years.
You don't have to scrap the car, just pay a fortune to keep it.

What is the point of setting a 10 year ownership of cars in Singapore?

Answer (1 of 7): When I first arrived in 1989 - there was no COE - just a quaint system of paper day passes (pre-ERP era). I was absolutely livid when the COE system was invented. We,VW Beetle drivers, with these 25 year old cars - only had to pay 50% more annual road tax. Now we had this plus ...

The clean car one I don't see yet.


You're welcome

Yeah, I know about the COE... but as you say it has no mention of this "10 year old" limit...

and I did some rough digging, there is no requirement to keep you car clean.

As usual its Corelli conflating some reality, with the batshyte crazy he does live in where he makes shyte up on the fly.

In general, used cars that are more than three years old may not be imported and registered for use in Singapore. The age of a used vehicle is calculated from the date of its first registration in a foreign country. Singapore makes an exception for classic cars, which are defined as cars thirty-five years from their initial date of registration.

As for car age, although you do get cars over 10 years in Singapore, only 15% of car in Singapore are 10 years and older.

For an example though, a Toyota Altis which costs about $50 000 SGD or R550 000 which is an entry level car in Singapore has these costs over 10 years. (The cost of car includes the Cost Of Entitlement certificate which in this case is half the price of the car.)

Total Cost Of Our Toyota Altis (Over A 10-Year Period)​

Type of Cost	Cost
Cost of car	$100,107
Interest Cost	$9,231
Road Tax	$7,420
Car Insurance	$15,000
Parking, ERP & Petrol	$31,800
Servicing	$10,000
Total Cost (Over 10 Years)	$173,558

As for dirty cars, it depends on the traffic officer. Australia and the UK now have started to implement fines for Dirty cars too, in the UK its punishable by fines upto 5000 pounds and in Australia upto $500 aud. I believe China is now following with that too, but they will add it to their social credit system which is much more restrictive.

No, it doesn't depend on the traffic officer poppet, show us the fine in Singapore for driving a dirty car or stop spouting bollocks.


As for those other "dirty car" fines in places like the UK and Aus , they aren't actually dirty car fines but then that doesn't suit your narrative does it?

As with all the other silly laws it will be us driving fast to overtake, or picking up the cell phone who will be watched like hawks and penalized. The real dangerous and illegal drivers will just carry on, bribing officials to renew points or not take off points or just ignoring the whole thing anyway.

And speeding and using a cellphone isn't dangerous? If you have to speed to overtake it means you want to go past the speed limit anyway. Just stick to the bloody lane.

I’m trying to stick to the far right lane but there’s people traveling in it at the speed limit irritating me.
