The question is is worth it....
What sort of offense are we talking about?

Some of the minor ones can be appealed directly with the police in the Ubi Traffic police compound (running red light).

Others like DUI need a whole different approach.

The basis rule of thumb in Singapore is that appealing against a charge and then a conviction in court will simply result in the penalty being doubled.

In my unmarried youth I had a few African girlfriends and they are wonderful women.

Andrew Hanam might be able to help but will be damn expensive ($10,000 for court representation perhaps with no guarantee of a win).

However it may be worth the cost as a DUI conviction could be very problematic for your future as visas (for the USA/Canada) and work options may become an issue. IMO it's worth trying to fight but there won't be much basis to do so. Try to get a no-conviction recorded judgement (honestly I don't know if that's even possible in Singapore). Bloodhound has a post (sticky) on DUI here somewhere and how it totally screwed his life up (although personally I think he'll be fine).

Wondering how this relates to traffic offenses?
Maybe PNG was guilty of speeding...?

The above was meant to go in the white supremacist post.

Ah.... I was referring to 'speeding in the bedroom department'.

This reminds me of some more youthful boasting in country Western Australia....

Mate 1: How far would you drive for a root? I've driven 500km return for one....

Mate 2: Mate that's nothing. I've driven down to PErth (600km), rolled the car on the way, hit a roo and kept going for a root and it wasn't even a free one!

jack79789 - what was your breath alcohol content? There is no point fighting a DUI case if it is a simple DUI ( no accident/no escaping etc ) unlike US where you hire a DUI lawyer and get your sentence reduced to something like reckless driving, speed contest etc. In fact I was told by a cop that fighting it with a lawyer might even piss off the Judge and he might give a higher penalty.

Just go to the court and plead guilty. Hearing happens in traffic court 21 in subordinate courts complex wherein you will be queued up with hundreds of other traffic offenders.

Unless your content is very high ( over twice the limit ) you will be fined along with license disqualifications. I had a DUI early this year with a breath alcohol content of 37. I got a 1500 fine and 1 yr disqualification from all classes. Luckily this is not a criminal offense in SG unless there is a severe accident/very high alcohol content which could result in a deterrence sentence.

OSOD - Even a DUI arrest ( with no conviction ) is enough to cause issues with visas to Canada/US from what I read. Any alcohol abuse related arrest is seen very very strictly by US and Canada. It seems one would be better off getting a visa to these countries with a shoplifting offense than a serious driving conviction like DUI.

PNG - you seem to have experimented with all races - Africans, SG Tamils etc etc...

Equal opportunity employer, what. Experimented? Why would you consider it an experiment? Most of us look for personality and that has no skin colour at all. You are not biased/prejudiced are you?

No, I was just applauding PNG's adventurous ride

[JR8]

Yeah wow I was applauding the a-political ride man.

[AnheuserBusch]
