Running from pillar to post to stop inconsiderate parking

I WOULD appreciate it if the Traffic Police and Land Transport Authority (LTA) can act together quickly to end my misery.
I live in MacPherson Garden Estate, where many drivers from the neighbourhood come to park their cars. Their inconsiderate parking causes inconvenience to my family and my neighbours. To make matters worse, these cars are sometimes parked over the weekend and I cannot drive my car out of my driveway.
I have highlighted this to LTA many times and the feedback is always to tell the Traffic Police and they will discuss with the estate chairman.
Following LTA's advice, I told the Traffic Police. To my surprise, when the Traffic Police came, they said there was obstruction but they could do nothing due to no enforcement line. They advised me to inform LTA.
These incidents have been repeated for months and countless times. I hope the authorities can act together quickly.

2 Investigations revealed that on 22 January 2008, Tay Su Ann Evangeline (“Evangeline”) had driven a vehicle belonging to Karpuzov Nikolay Toshev (“Nikolay”) bearing registration number SGG 7135 D (“vehicle”). Evangeline did not possess a valid driving licence. Evangeline had been residing at Nikolay’s residence located at Duchess Crescent prior to 22 January 2008. As Nikolay was overseas on a business trip on 22 January 2008, Evangeline had taken the keys to his vehicle – which were contained in a drawer within the residence – and driven the said vehicle without the consent of Nikolay.

3 Whilst driving along Lornie Road on 22 January 2008, Evangeline had committed an offence of failing to conform to a traffic red light signal, an offence punishable under Section 120(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Act. Immediately subsequent to committing the offence, Evangeline was fearful as she saw the flash of a camera installed close to the junction where the offence was committed. Fearing the repercussions of driving without a licence as well as without the consent of Nikolay, Evengeline proceeded to consult a few friends, including one Choo Yew Beng Kelvin (“Kelvin”), as to the appropriate course of action.

5 Sometime in the middle of February 2008, Evangeline requested that Kelvin assist in finding someone to assume criminal liability on her behalf in respect of the offence under Section 120(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Act. Evangeline had agreed to pay a sum of money to the person who rendered such assistance. Kelvin agreed.

6 Kelvin subsequently approached the accused and enquired if the latter was willing to assume criminal liability on Evangeline’s behalf in consideration for the sum of $1,000. The accused readily agreed to help Evangeline. Part of the reason why the accused agreed was the additional imposition of demerit points attached to the offence under Section 120(1)(b) would be little consequence to her. The inconsequentiality to the accused was due to the fact that she already had pending charges for two offences of drink driving as well as an offence for failing to provide breath specimen. As a matter as course, revocation of the accused’s licence was a certainty.
