It's not mandatory to convert today (25th). If you convert, say on 29th, you will save $2.

you sure it's 2 bucks??

Then why not convert it when you need to use it on a sat before 3pm?

Can save $20.

dun think so. It shld be the same date when u bought ur car.
Logic: if ur road tax effective date is yesterday, u shld be paying the full amt i.e. $238 (1591cc) + $100 (admin charge) = $338. LTA also needs to refund u the remaining amount of road tax (pro-rated of $50 for 1591cc) which u've paid when u bought the car.

Since already converted we can drive this sat already rite???

by joepele 27th January 2010, 1:40 pm

Should be right?

by mehmehhh 27th January 2010, 10:42 pm

I have done the conversion today...
Confirm we can drive this Saturday already..
I have called LTA to confirm that once payment done, it's updated..
You can check by the below link to check converting..
It will only show ur current scheme is revised opc scheme & u can only choose to change to normal car scheme only...

Hi Bros n Sis, news from channelnewsasia on OPC car.

SINGAPORE: Red plate cars are becoming red-hot from this year. Exactly one week after a revised scheme kicked in, 184 motorists have converted their normal cars to the off-peak car scheme.

That's more conversions in one week than in all of 2007 or 2008.

From last Monday, motorists who opt for an off-peak car get two main incentives.

They can now drive extended hours - all day Saturday instead of just half a day previously as well as on the eves of five public holidays.

In addition, those who convert their normal cars receive S$1,100 cash rebate for every six months their cars remain off-peak vehicles.

Some car dealers said they have seen an increase in interest, with about 20 per cent more queries about buying off-peak cars, especially in the small car categories. But they added it is still too early to say how much of this interest will convert into actual sales.

Eventually, transport authorities hope to see the current percentage of off-peak cars, which stands at eight per cent, to go up to a possible 10 per cent of the total car population.

But market watchers said there is a price to be paid for the latest incentives. The new scheme is not compulsory for those who have been on the off-peak car scheme all along.

Motorists who convert from the existing off-peak scheme will receive a smaller road tax discount, down from S$800 to S$500.

That could be why among those who have been on the off-peak car scheme all along, only about 32 per cent have proceeded to convert to the new scheme, according to the latest data from the Land Transport Authority. - CNA/vm
