Payment of road-user charge
12.—(1) The driver of a motor car in respect of which a road-user charge referred to in rule 11 is payable shall, when leaving Singapore by way of a relevant checkpoint, insert the vehicle entry card in relation to that motor car into a card machine at the relevant checkpoint so that such road-user charge may be deducted from the stored value of the card.

(a)
fails to comply with rule 12(1);
(b)
in purported compliance with rule 12(1), inserts into a card machine at the relevant checkpoint a vehicle entry card the stored value of which is less than the road-user charge payable under rule 11 after deducting any toll for that motor car,
shall be guilty of an offence.
(2) Where the Registrar or an authorised officer has reason to believe that a person has committed an offence under paragraph (1) —
