Controlling Car Population

Here's Uncle Law's $0.02's worth.

PS : nothing is perfect, but I prefer to think my below suggestions might be a good reference point to start from.

====================================

General Rules :

• Mileage is a system whereby the vehicle-owner pays for the mileage upfront before he is allowed to travel.
• If the Mileage System is adopted, we should then do away with the Road Tax.

For Non-Businesses :

• Strictly one Class 3/3A vehicle OR two for Class 2/2A/2B vehicles per household.
• All other classes may only be registered to a Singapore-registered business.
• Bank Loans may only be used to purchase the first TWO vehicles.

For Businesses :

• Each business is allowed ONE Class 3/3A/4/4A/5 vehicles OR TWO Class 2/2A/2B vehicles per Singaporean/PR hired by the company.
• Any additional vehicles registered by the business will be subjected to the same additional levies imposed on Non-Business vehicles.
• Public Transport Operators for Buses & Taxis will be exempted from the new rules and continue to be subjected to the existing COE/ERP/Road-Tax of 100% per vehicle.

F1 Singapore 2012

Wanna know how I spent last weekend when it was the Singapore edition of the F1 Race?

The folks in orange won the Best Team Award for the F1 Singapore 2012. The winning teams (1st, 2nd and 3rd) was selected by a panel of folks from the Race Control.

The team used to be 20 odd fellows in previous years, but expanded this year to about 60 due to the increase in number of Feature Races (Porsches, Ferraris and GP2 Races). With the majority being newbies and yet they were able to work like clockwork together as a team in 4days, isn't it amazing?

Lastly, I wanna add that I was part of the gang in orange... The Paddock Marshals.
