I waited in the car while my wife went to buy bus tickets to KL along Beach road outside little Thailand. Now I received a notice for illegal parking for $120 and 3 demerit points.

Is waiting = parking?

That place should be double zig-zag yellow lines... you park or wait also kena fine + demerit point

They consider the car stationary as parking even if driver or passenger is inside the car

write in to point out that they should be charging
you under NO WAITING
This will render the current summon invalid

Zig zag or no zig zag, they deliberately blurred the lines between waiting and parking. I should throw the dictionary at them.

Waiting IS NOT parking. However if there are Yellow Zig-Zag line, it will be entirely a different issue, below are what they meant;

- Double Zig Zag Yellow Line = No stopping at any time. Fine is S$120 and 3 demrit points.
- Single Zig-Zag Yellow Line = No waiting at any time, unless there are signs that specifically indicate seasonal restrictions. Exceptions are for immediate picking up or dropping off of passengers.

Cheers.

Eitherways, now trending take photo then send you the summon via mail a week later. And often very hard to appeal, cause a picture is worth a thousand words.

Road traffic act: “park” means to bring a motor vehicle or a trailer to a stationary position and cause it to wait for any purpose other than that of immediately taking up or setting down persons, goods or luggage;

Waiting is parking other than the exceptions described above

Thks TS for bringin our attention to this oversight. I nearly got one last yr at Claymore rd, waited next to a row of parked vehicles for available lot. The road there is rather wide and wasn't blocking traffic but a warden warned me that if I don't move off, he'll issue me a ticket (most probably includes demerit pts as well).

Bro if u stop car at double zig zag lines and got caught doing so, just take the bitter pill. Waiting = $150 + 3 demerits pints. Parking = Toll away.+ $150 + 3 demerits point.

I don't think there's such roads hahaha
I most is near a zebra crossing


But well , ts , double zig zag yellow line don't play play ah :(
Unless there's immediate alighting and boarding of passengers then maybe they give chance , but I think that also cannot
 
Re: Is waiting = parking? I got a summons...

I see many lawyers in this forum giving their $2M worth of legal advice to fellow bros here...but you are the same people who will complain about others illegally parking or stopping their cars by the roadside and causing traffic jams etc...

Like what st8800 said...just accept it. You cannot on one hand lament the lack of enforcement and then when you kenna u say its unfair....
