16 Motorcyclists Arrested at Tuas Checkpoint for License and Insurance Violations

 


Sixteen motorcyclists were arrested for driving without valid licenses and using vehicles without insurance during a Traffic Police operation at Tuas Checkpoint on Sept 26, according to a statement released on Oct 3. The individuals, aged between 21 and 62, were among some 350 motorcyclists who were stopped for checks during the operation.

Those found guilty of driving without a valid license in Singapore can face fines of up to S$10,000, imprisonment for up to three years, or both. Repeat offenders risk even more severe penalties, including fines of up to S$20,000, jail time of up to six years, or both, and their vehicles may be forfeited.

For motorists caught operating a vehicle without insurance coverage, the penalty can include a fine of up to S$1,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both.

The police reiterated that all motorists entering Singapore, including those on foreign-registered vehicles, must abide by Singapore's traffic regulations. They emphasized the need for motorcyclists to ride responsibly and practice safe riding habits, as both motorcyclists and their passengers are vulnerable on the road. The Traffic Police also urged all road users to contribute to safer roads by practicing good road sense and looking out for one another.
