We selected 8 Carparks to avoid in Singapore for new drivers.
There are a lot of things that can stress you as you drive along the roads of Singapore. Apart from the regular ERP gantries and the hectic traffic jams along the Pan Island Expressway during peak hours. Both resent and older parking lots may put your driving skills to the test.
We have discovered 8 parking lots that are known to be painfully small and make maneuvering into the parking space a headache for drivers. Due to lack of enough resources, we could not accurately measure every parking lot to determine which is the smallest.
To compensate for that, we have jotted down a list of car parks that are known to be notoriously narrow. However, even with their reputation of being cramped, these parking lots are the most frequented by drivers. One reason for this is because shopping malls or office buildings own most of these car parks.
