Stomper Nicholas sent Stomp a photo showing a summons issued to a cabby who apparently parked a taxi beyond the borders of a parking lot along Kandahar Street on May 17.
According to the summons, the cabby was fined $50 for infringing rule '13#'.
The Stomper was perplexed as to whether drivers can be fined for poor parking.
As it turns out, they can.
A check on the HDB website revealed that rule '13#' referred to 'parking beyond the boundaries of the parking lot thereby causing obstruction'.
Drivers of motor cars found to have infringed that rule will be fined $50, which tallies with the amount the cabby was asked to pay.
Motorcyclists who infringe rule 13# can be fined $25 and heavy vehicle drivers can be fined up to $200.
Motorists... you have been warned.
